About this episode

Brenna and Joe critique the adaptation of Finding Her Edge, discussing its shortcomings and the handling of queer characters.

Brenna and Joe return to discuss the eight episode S01 adaptation of Finding Her Edge , co-created by Jeff Norton and Shelley Scarrow (disappointingly - she worked on Canadian faves like Wynona Earp and Being Erica ). This is BAD on multiple levels (try to count Joe's innumerable rants), most egregiously in how little anyone seems to care. Plus: digging into that Rotten Tomatoes score; the show's mishandling of queer characters; Brenna's disdain for Persuasion comparisons; and lots of snorts/laughs! Wanna connect with the show?
