The title put me off but I gave it a try anyway and I am glad that I did:
She's beautiful when she's angry. (2014, documentary) It is about the full circle of reproductive rights from today, back to the beginning of the women's movement 40 years ago, segueing into lesbian rights (Rita Mae, Karla Jay) and the struggles for reproductive rights when abortion first became legal. Oh, btw, did you know Trump quietly and privately signed a bill on Thursday that allows states to withhold federal money from organizations that provide abortion services, including Planned Parenthood? Here we are again. Almost back we we started. He needs another anti-abortion loon on the Supreme Court and then we will be totally where we started.

I just finished Strike Back on Amazon Prime and Cinemax. Loved it. Watching seasons 3 and 4 of Banshee on cinemax. Much better than most action movies, both of them. Not sure what's next.

Harry Bosch: Amazon Prime Season 3, on April 21st, 2017
I read a review that said: Harry Bosch, the best show on TV that you are not watching.
It is really terrific.

Started watching "The 100" Friday. It's... okay.
Any discussion re: Flix's new rating system? I just noticed it. How boring and uninsightful is thumbs up or thumbs down?

We watched The Handmaid's Tale last night.
I have some vague impressions: It was intense and disturbing, but i was not traumatized. I am seeing on social media that many have had really strong reactions, sobbing, shaking, etc. I don't know if this might be because i have read the book a bunch of times, and led a discussion about it earlier this year-- or because the religious mindset that produced that dystopia has always been part of my life. I always found the book more grim than shocking, more of a validation than a revelation: "yep, that's exactly what would happen if my uncle had his way, this is a good reminder to keep an eye on him" I did find that i had to explain a lot of what was going on to Mr. Jenny, who has not read the book. i am wondering if the script was written assuming most viewers would have read it. Either the exposition was confusing, or Mr. Jenny is impatient.

If you are looking for great drama, terrific actors and if you like detective stories; this is just a really great series. I watched all season 3 episodes that began streaming last Friday, in 2 days. Now I have to wait for season 4 and who knows when that will be!? It is simply good TV.

I got Hulu today just because I wanted to watch The Handmaid's Tale. I don't like Hulu so will keep it until the series is over.
I did read the book too, years ago. Margret Atwood, author. It is free with a Kindle Unlimited so I just downloaded it. I am on the second episode of the Hulu series and I think it is very well done I just keep thinking: It is a cautionary tale of a world that Trump, Pence and the Republicans would just love to have. I don't think we are terribly far off. The government doesn't even need to be overthrown. The electoral college opened the door and let them walk right in. At least I am not a handmaiden now. I am a Martha. The show doesn't upset me nor make me shake. Every day that I read more of what Trump and the gang are doing: that fucking upsets me. Wiki says: Set in a near-future New England, in a totalitarian theocracy which has overthrown the United States government, the novel explores themes of women in subjugation and the various means by which they gain individualism and independence.
