What are you watching this weekend? Some recommendations from WomenaHollywood:
Earlier this year we saw the premieres of “Fleabag” Season 2 and “This Way Up.” Now another six-episode British import about a flailing, funny 30-something woman has arrived. “Back to Life,” which previously aired on the UK’s BBC One, is coming to Showtime.
Created by and starring Daisy Haggard, the series has drawn positive, apt comparisons to “Fleabag” and “Broadchurch,” but it also shares DNA with “Orange Is the New Black”—and pretty much any story set in a small town where everyone knows everyone else’s business. Miri Matteson went to prison as a teenager, and in the first episode, she’s released after serving 18 years. Over the course of the season, the audience slowly finds out exactly what Miri did to end up behind bars, as well as the version that everyone else living in her seemingly idyllic hometown believes.
In that way, “Back to Life” is a mystery. But overall, it’s a very specific story told in a universal way. Miri, like so many of us, is just trying to figure out her next move. She’s also accepting that her actual life is panning out very differently from what she had originally imagined. “Back to Life” isn’t shy in its exploration of Miri’s situation as an ex-con. Like some of the ladies of “OITNB,” she realizes that prison doesn’t really when she gets out. She has a hard time getting a job and her probation officer is entertaining, but not very helpful. Most of the town still believes Miri’s a “psycho” who should be “locked up”—which… she already was—and she’s subjected to harassment, ridicule and even violence.Haggard is amazing as the good-natured, fundamentally kind Miri.
