In October, viewers can look forward to the highly anticipated new drama “Riot Women” from Sally Wainwright, as both BBC and Britbox have unveiled a fresh trailer for its release on our television screens.
The story revolves around a tight-knit quintet of ladies, who band together to establish a rebellious punk rock band for a local competition. In crafting their debut original composition, they quickly realize they have a wealth of thoughts and emotions to express – and this platform offers them the perfect outlet to do so.
In the beginning, Beth (similar to Joanna Scanlan from After Love) poses a question: “Does it sometimes seem as if you’re existing within a different reality, where women past a certain age are no longer noticed or seen?
However, everything shifts when the band gradually solidifies and serves as a spark for transformation in their lives. The footage captures moments of them being boisterous during band rehearsals, and also during their stage performances. One of them exclaims, “This is our moment, we must seize it.
But soon enough, trouble arises, putting everything at risk, as Jess (Amelia Bullmore from The Buccaneers) describes the unpredictable behavior of the band’s lead singer Kitty (Rosalie Craig from Moonflower Murders): “She’s all over the place. She’s unreliable. With her acting like that, I think we should call it quits.
You can watch the trailer below:
Alongside Scanlan, Bullmore, and Craig, the series’ cast also includes Tamsin Grieg, known for Friday Night Dinner, playing Holly. Additionally, Taj Atwal from Line of Duty, Chandeep Uppal from Holby City, and Macy-Jacob Seelochan, best recognized in Shadow and Bone, make up the ensemble as the show’s backing vocalists.
A Chorus Line of Chaos – Navigating Life’s Whirlwind
As a cinephile, I found myself captivated by this compelling narrative that seamlessly blends the complexities of adulthood with the therapeutic rhythm of music. In this cinematic journey, we follow a group of individuals grappling with their high-pressure careers, unruly children, intricate family dynamics, and the occasional disappearing spouse – all while navigating a series of disastrous dates and romantic entanglements.
But what sets this film apart is its portrayal of a band that serves as a catalyst for transformation in these characters’ lives. This ensemble becomes an integral part of their story, challenging their beliefs, forcing them to reevaluate their decisions, and ultimately pushing them to confront the very essence of who they are. It’s a powerful exploration of the human spirit, one that will leave you questioning your own life choices long after the credits roll.
The six-part show stands as a powerful reminder of the strength of friendships, the influence of music, and the unwavering spirit of women who defy being muted by age or societal norms.
As the narrative unfolds, it becomes apparent that music is not the only bond between them. A powerful, hidden secret starts to emerge from their past, tangling Kitty and Beth, the unexpected architects of the band’s success, in a complicated web – one that could potentially unravel everything.
