She's Having An Episode

This week we are discussing Amina Hussein from Nida Manzoor's We Are Lady Parts!

Amina, played by Anjana Vassan, is the PHD student-cum-guitar teacher at the heart of this truly exceptional show. Over six short but sensational episodes, Amina is forced to navigate the cultural expectations of her family and friends, while figuring out if she can actually be part of an all-female Muslim punk band without throwing up on everyone around her.

As the lascivious yet lovable lead guitarist that inspired Bashir With A Good Beard, we couldn’t help but go....well, She’s Having An Episode.

This character, on the back of her cameo in And Just Like That, is Sex and The City’s ICONIC Samantha Jones.

Samantha, played by Kim Cattrall, stands as a tour de force of liberation and sexual empowerment, which, quite frankly, we didn’t see a lot of on TV in the 90s. Over 6 seasons, her uninhibited approach to life became a touchstone for women and girls everywhere, redefining societal norms with candid discussions on desire, agency, and so much more.

All of which made us go, well, SHE’S HAVING AN EPISODE.

Call My Agent's Andrea, Martel played by Camille Cottin, is a force to be reckoned with. In the cutthroat world she’s make her own, Andrea stops at nothing to ensure her clients' success. Or her own.

She has the kind of authoritarian charm most mere humans can only dream of possessing, marking a journey of many wins, motivating losses, and more than a few sacrifices...all of which made us go, well, she’s having an episode.

This week we're discussing Grace Williams from Bad Sisters (the incredible Sharon Horgan adaptation that had so fantastic female characters we could dedicate an entire season to this show alone).

Alas! Just one for today. Grace, played by Anne-Marie Duff, is the sincere, second eldest sister of the Garvey family, long-suffering wife of The Prick, and so much more -- even if he didn’t want her to be. As a mother, sister, and HUMAN BEING, first and foremost, Grace’s story left an enormous impact on us.

Fresh Prince's Hilary Banks, played by Karyn Parsons, was the vivacious eldest daughter of the wealthy Banks family. But she ended up being much more than a spoiled socialite.

While initially portrayed as a self-centered fashion gal, Hilary undergoes quite the journey of self-discovery over six seasons. In fact, it’s mostly what’s under those killer clothes that made us go, well, SHE’S HAVING AN EPISODE.
