NY Times Talks Dietland, Lauds Joy Nash; CarterMatt Previews Episode 7
This week, The New York Times discusses Dietland and praises Joy Nash, while CarterMatt previews the next episode. Plus, The San Diego Union-Tribune hails Kitty and Plum as #MeToo heroes. Read on for more:
• The New York Times, declaring that Dietland is "about perception — about the various ways Plum sees herself and is seen by the outside world," also praises Joy Nash's "natural and complex performance."
• CarterMatt previews the next episode, "Monster High," noting that "it certainly feels as though we are seeing Plum move into a different place. After her time in Calliope House, she seems to have uncovered a new-found determination and resolve."
• The San Diego Union-Tribune salutes the heroines of this summer's #MeToo TV, including Kitty and Plum who "might just end up hitting the patriarchy where it hurts. Together."
• The Huffington Post says of Dietland, "Perhaps there’s a utility in the existence of a prestige cable show in which women’s pain and anger are both shown and told. Maybe, after millennia of repressed anger, we deserve to have it made explicit."
• Joy Nash tells amNewYork that Dietland wants people "to feel empowered personally, but we also want the world to change. I don’t know exactly how that’s supposed to happen, but it needs to."
• Brit + Co speaks with Dietland's costume designer, Katie Riley, who "debunks the biggest myths about plus-size fashion and how women of all shapes and sizes should feel empowered to dress how they want."
