Summer is fun but you are invariably saving up for a holiday or have recently spent over your budget on one. This is how my sister and I came to find ourselves one evening in London. Water water everywhere and not a drop to sip. (Change “water” to “champagne” and you will have our general mood).
“This looks a bit shit,” one of us murmurs “but shall we watch it?”. Yah, we have nothing better to do. Enter episode one of the Honourable Woman, which I have to admit did not really impress me. Yet I found myself returning week after week to watch it. (I have not religiously watched a weekly series since Twin Peaks and I’m not exaggerating). I believe it was because of the women.
When was the last time you saw a tv series filled with older women in strong roles with excellent dialogue?
