Sally Wainwright swaps crime scenes for chord progressions in this raucous celebration of female rage and midlife reinvention.
Series Analysis:
From the sharp mind of Sally Wainwright comes a roar of defiance disguised as a punk band. Riot Women isn't merely about menopausal angst; it is a full-throated scream against invisibility. These five women trade domestic drudgery for distortion pedals, proving that relevance doesn't fade with age—it just gets louder. Following a finale that left the amps buzzing and the audience demanding an encore, the current silence regarding a renewal feels particularly cruel. As the BBC decides if the gig continues, adding this series to your tracker is the best way to ensure you are front row the moment the next setlist drops.
