What’s the movie/series you think has done a great job at tackling many pressing issues a woman has to deal with?

  1. For young people, Degrassi. Not just women though, but it covers such a wide range of societal issues it’s insane

  2. Raw

    The Lost Daughter

    The Novice

    I Am Not Okay With This (tv series)

    Hatching – I just finished this gross and wild body horror film and I’m not quite sure I have a great grasp on it yet, but it does a pretty good job of dissecting generational trauma at the hands of the mother.

  3. The Great, it touches on having to put on a happy smiling face and act how others want you to, despite how unhappy you might be and the pain you may be going through, it was really relatable for me.

  4. “Promising Young Woman.” I wish it could be mandatory viewing. It comprehensively deconstructs rape culture, self-professed “nice guys”, and internalized misogyny. It addresses what a lot of women understand as fact: the promise of men is more important than the lives of women.

  5. The First Lady. It’s a Showtime series about a few of the women that were integral to American politics but were mostly known as the president’s wife. It shows their strengths, kindness, anger, persistence, and dynamism.

  6. Fleabag – mental health, dysfunctional family, friendship, death, love, sex.

  7. Kind of a different take, but I thought Anne With an E did a great job revealing a lot of the “traditional” ways women were viewed and expected to behave in society that still ripple on and play out to this day

  8. Roar.

    Based on a book of short stories by Cecelia Ahern, this genre-bending anthology series weaves together eight darkly comedic feminist fables that take unexpected approaches to subjects like gender roles, autonomy and identity.

  9. Law & Order SVU

    This show not only does a great job approaching important issues, they actually have respected the growth of the females characters.

  10. i havent seen the whole thing but i saw some clips about domestic abuse from the show “euphoria” that really hit close to home. i should probably watch the rest of the show.
