Sally Wainwright’s latest TV series, Riot Women, follows five seemingly conventional women with demanding jobs, grown-up children, and absent husbands. When they enter a local talent contest with their newly formed punk-rock band, the experience becomes a catalyst for reinvention. What begins as a lark soon turns into a rebellion against the quiet compromises of middle age. While writing their first song, they realize they have quite a lot to say about love, loss, and the small injustices that have piled up over the decades. Lorraine Ashbourne, Joanna Scanlan, Tamsin Greig, Rosalie Craig, and Amelia Bullmore star. —Elena Clavarino
