1. Yes, gotta put Hijab Butch Blues on the list, it sounds so interesting. I like that it adds a nuance on the story of accepting/being yourself--just like Lamya said that she had to get over the mainstream concept of being queer as a declaration to your family and meeting other folks at gay bars in her own process. We're not a monolith. Some of us choose to embrace our religion (I love that Lamya does the non-segregated Eid prayers, that whole gender segregation thing is just so stupid), some of us run away screaming from it.
2. Years and Years - I heard about it when it came out and decided that it was TOO close to the truth for me to watch 😫.
3. Mel & Sue - we started Hitmen and are enjoying the silliness. I don't remember them in the GBBO at all, but we've only watched a couple episodes. We should try to catch the seasons with them. Btw, that Guardian article that you linked is not complementary of them at all--did you mean to do that?
1. Yes, exactly! We will have to talk more once we all read it.
2. Haaa, yeah, Years and Years most definitely does not let you shy away from what is and what could be.
3. Glad you're enjoying Hitmen! And, no, we didn't really mean to emphasize that Guardian article—just being thorough with showing the source for that quote. ;-)
4. Let us know what you think about Elliot & Beverly...
