I watched this movie only because Amy poehler was in it. But I was truly surprised by the younger cast. The casting was great. The diversity and all the young actors did a great job. Right from the start the movie began with its message of gender discrimination and how girls are treated in the daily school life. I like how this movie had a massive topic of gender inequality to talk about yet it kept its innocence and point of view from teenage aspect. The not knowing of how to start a protest and making posters and the anger - all depicted how a young mind would react to these problems . I liked how they dint make this movie too good to be true by actually showing major changes in the society, but gave us enough to think about at the same time . So good job there because it looked real.I think more movies like this on a major platform like Netflix would help younger audiences to better understand what’s wrong in the society and what needs to be done to make this planet a better place where everybody can co exist and make it a safe place to live.

After watching the trailer, I thought another teenage drama, don’t we already have enough of those but I was wrong. The show is overall good and a bit predictable but what I dint predict was that the main character’s (Georgia) accent would be so bad. It took me almost 4 episodes to get used to it and the show is already only 10 episodes long. But I like all the issues that they talked about and surprisingly enough I like how the teenage characters were written except Ginny. I thought Ginny’a character was the worst . She had such a one dimensional view of the world which is to blame others for your stupid mistakes. I mean you are a teenager full of hormones we get it but please try to be empathetic towards other and not throw your struggles and lack of white privilege on others. Other than that you can watch the show if you want to see a beautiful town and three good looking guys pinning over one woman who is clearly very manipulative.
