TV Season Rating

Demon-fighting, gun-slinging Wonder Woman

Season 1 was great, season 2 takes it to a whole new level. Show runner, Emily Andras, really knows how to make viewers feel all the feels. You'll go from laughing to crying to ready to punch someone in one scene. The amazing actors have definitely brought their A game this season to bring Emily's vision to life. If you like strong female characters, LGBTQ representation, demon fighting, and/or a show that'll keep you on the edge of your seat, this is the show for you.

Awesome geekiness!

This is awesome, fun, sensitive and moving. Watching a budding romance and the trials of two beautiful people is heart warming.
It's great seeing the family dynamics and the problems that Roxie and Melody encounter. The resilience they show is inspiring to say the least.
I'm loving this LGBTQ story, packed with geekiness, boardgames and a love of horror movies. I started to fall in love from the first page....I'm thrilled that it's the start of a series, I can't wait for the next installment

Masterful adaptation of Atwood's classic book

There was a lot riding on this TV show, more than 30 years after the original book came out. But it was unbelievably dark, even more so than the book, and completely adjusted for contemporary times. Attacking various structures where women have fought hard for their rights such as the workplace, LGBTQ rights, FGM and pro-choice - this series shows how the state can take those rights away and take control of women's bodies. Extremely grim viewing, it really is a difficult watch.

Book Rating

This is out and out a love story. The fact that it is two girls just adds another dimension. Cece is the 'out' lesbian. Holland is the girl everyone wants to be, ecept she is pretending. When she stops pretending to herself she begins to realize how very hard being yourself and love can be.I thought this book was good. As a teacher I think Julie Ann Peters does an excellent job of capturing what it means to be young and gay. I feel comfortable recommending this book to some of my students especially my LGBTQ kids. It has a good messege and hard realities.
