TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024
We Are Lady Parts (Seasons 1 & 2, 2021/24, UK)
Creator, Director & Writer: Nida Manzoor
Mini-review:
This show feels pretty much groundbreaking. Sure, it clearly draws inspiration from a lot of sources, but it becomes something completely original and unique thanks to its representation and diversity. I feel like Muslim characters are rarely portrayed with such realism, sincerity and variety. And without falling into any dangerous or bigoted tropes, too. It's obvious that Nida Manzoor writes and directs from experience, and that allows her to speak from her heart through these characters. Also, it certainly helps that they are played by a group of incredibly talented performers. And obviously, I can't end this review without mentioning the fantastic music that we get in pretty much every episode. So yeah, if you're looking for something funny, joyous and truly special, do give We Are Lady Parts a try.

Guns Akimbo (2019) Review
When Miles gets mixed up with the wrong people he becomes part of a very messed up online sensation of people watching him as he’s hunted with two guns nailed to his hands . . .

We argue in the kitchen about whether to have children
About the world ending and the scale of my ambition
And how much is art really worth
The very thing you’re best at
Is the thing that hurts the most
But you need your rotten heart
Your dazzling pain like diamond rings
You need to go to war to find material to sing
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
I need my golden crown of sorrow
My bloody sword to swing
My empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
But a woman is a changeling
Always shifting shape
Just when you think you have it figured out
Something new begins to take
What strange claws are these
Scratching at my skin
I never knew my killer would be coming from within
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
I need my golden crown of sorrow
My bloody sword to swing
I need my empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology
Cos I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
And I was never as good
as I always thought I was
But I knew how to dress it up
I was never satisfied, it never let me go
Just dragged me by my hair
and back on with the show
