I love this #TV show so much it’s STUPID. For all the #women who’ve ever been underestimated, subjugated, or used but still have fight left in them, #RiotWomen is for you. It’s hilarious & unflinching, the lead singer’s voice is electric & whoever wrote the #punk band’s songs is a friggin’ genius. I guarantee you this is the 1st time people all over the world are belting out a song about #menopause.

Trust me…watch it, & you will, too🎸

I couldn’t help but binge watch #RiotWomen over a few days, once I started!
Looking forward to more!! 🫶

Watching a show called Riot Women about women in their 50s and 60s starting a rock band. Didn't expect to like it but it both makes me laugh again and again and hits home again and again.

"And you thought the Clash were angry!"

I see that Riot Women is starting on TVNZ 1 from Tuesday. I can thoroughly recommend this six-part drama from Sally Wainwright (of Happy Valley and Last Tango in Halifax fame). It's the story, set in pure Wainwright territory of Yorkshire, of a group of women dealing with elder care issues, selfish children, and menopause. They form a punk rock band to star in a local talent show. It's about how they want to be heard and seen and fight for a sense of who they are. Profoundly feminist, it shows how through their friendship, they bond to help each other deal with their lives, including men and their fragile egos - as well as, in some cases, the violence towards them. Superbly acted, it is well worth watching. Definitely 5 stars.
