She seems nervous, uncomfortable with her mother’s questions about whether she’s going to settle down and have babies like her older sister. As a vegetarian, I didn’t feel offended enough by Gary’s Wonge vegetarian food range that was 65% meat. Paradoxically, for a study of the devastating ERA defeat – and therefore feminist failure – Mrs America deftly showcases the second wave’s grit, integrity, dedication and passion.

Please continue to respect all commenters and create constructive debates. The fictional centre is in a hot, arid landscape, where the detainees must be kept hydrated. At the other end of the pay scale is Clare (Asher Keddie), an immigration official charged with keeping the centre out of the news while processing claims better. However, the Kemps emerged as great sports, their acting background paid off with solid comic timing, and there was a firm grasp of rock cliches and the mockumentary style: “This is the very first time they’ve been back to their childhood home since their last documentary three years ago.” As a side-note, Martin’s film franchise idea “the hardest British bastards in the galaxy” (Daniel Mays as Dick Turpin: “Stand and deliver, you twats!”) would probably work as a real pitch, and I deserve a cut for suggesting this.

When the couple are told that toddler-Rosie has an IQ of 47, but will be assessed again, Simon retorts: “We’ll make sure she revises harder.” This is a courageous, heartbreaking show, and Locke as Rosie is dynamite.

Their mockumentary The Kemps: All True, written and directed by Rhys Thomas, was a knowing nod to the lovably unforgettable, occasionally rather dark, Matt and Luke Goss documentary, Bros: After the Screaming Stops, which taught the world a hard showbiz lesson: never underestimate the stupidity of Bros. Could the Kemps’ attempt at a two-man Spinal Tap be as funny with the protagonists in on the joke?

There is a double dose of Cate Blanchett this week, which counts as two lights at the end of the tunnel.

Suddenly, the persecution of asylum-seekers wasn’t a … Last modified on Mon 20 Jul 2020 12.19 BST, Mrs America BBC Two | iPlayerStateless NetflixThe Kemps: All True BBC Two | iPlayerThere She Goes BBC Two | iPlayerManhunt: The Raoul Moat Story ITV | ITV Hub. Much of Stateless is about appearances; how a person, or a situation, can look one way but be another. I loved Strahovski’s performance, and understood the need for its inclusion (how do people feel about “one of their own” ending up in such camps?). For Cam, whose new salary means he can afford a swimming pool, it shows he is rising in the world. Due to the sheer scale of this comment community, we are not able to give each post the same level of attention, but we have preserved this area in the interests of open debate. Open borders are politically unpalatable, but the system of turning back the boats, rather than admitting asylum seekers at all, is hardly preferable.

With directors including Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, Mrs America comes across as a who’s who of feminist trailblazers, sometimes carrying their own episodes. Are you sure you want to delete this comment? For Ameer, the ocean is a threat and an opportunity, a last throw of the dice. And thank God they were. The failure of US feminism in the 1970s and an indictment of Australian immigration gave Cate Blanchett two chances to shine As before, this series is based in two time zones (Rosie as a toddler and as an 11-year-old), and the couple are sarcastic, frayed, and argue viciously, with Simon considering leaving. Rose Byrne plays Gloria Steinem, the intellectual firecracker pressured to use her good looks by other feminists. And the Kemp brothers excelled as the anti-Bros, Sun 12 Jul 2020 09.30 BST Without Blanchett’s imprimatur it would probably have stayed down under, which would have been our loss. IMDb.com, Inc. takes no responsibility for the content or accuracy of the above news articles, Tweets, or blog posts. Are Spandau Ballet’s Gary and Martin Kemp the anti-Bros? It would be easy for a drama like this to slip into self-righteousness. Although Stateless is set in the early Noughties, the issues it highlights are every bit as pressing today.

Blanchett’s challenge is to humanise Schlafly, the ultimate conservative mean girl, who claims to stand for ordinary homemakers, while disingenuously pursuing her own political ambitions with unladylike zeal. When Aussies learned that one of their own had been mistakenly detained in 2005, it drew massive and much-needed attention to a cruel and deeply flawed immigration system. She suffers relentless sexist indignities, including being patronised on talk shows (“Don’t forget to smile”) and harassed by sex pests, yet still opines: “I’ve never been discriminated against.” At one point, an exhausted Schlafly is pushed into having sex by her husband – played by John Slattery (a welcome hangover from Mad Men, along with smoking scenes and meticulous period detail). It was made for Australian TV but snapped up by Netflix for the international market.

For Sofie, it’s an escape, a way of temporarily entering a different state. We never quite know where we are, temporally, but a picture of Sofie starts to emerge.
