Season 1 Review:
It's a mix of extreme darkness — scenes either discuss or depict suicidal ideation, assault, and rape — and quirky humor. This is a delicate thing, where if the balance isn't exactly right, the drama feels weightless and the comedy much too heavy. The great majority of the time throughout this excellent first season, Wainwright gets it just so.

Season 1 Review:
“Riot Women” is real; not so much in its narrative, with its backstage musical tropes, pointed points and a coincidence that would make Dickens think twice, but in its character details, and in the contracting and expanding space between the players — the tales within the tale.
