All i can say is that this show is as boring as sitting through a Morman worship service. I only gave it 5 stars because i think Aisha Tyler is cute as hell.

This Tries Way Too Hard

Tyler is trying to hard to be a feminist rather than just going with it. With her campaign to reclaim the c-word and segments keyed directly to the feminist struggle as based on Dietland, the show just feels unbalanced and is more a tool of misandry than anything else. She should be challenging her guests more rather than giving them softball questions.
While it's supposed to the companion show to Dietland, it tends to focus too much on current events and the oppression of women rather than the topic raised on the show, and it could do a lot more towards a number of inequalities women face. Instead, it seems focused more on the evils women face rather than looking at the world of women today.
Interestingly, the guests are generally pretty good, and sometimes land some great points is spite of the host. It could be so much better if either focused more on the show or presented a more balanced picture of how women treated, but that feels unlikely to happen.

Annoying

Finally a show that addresses women's issues

It follows Dietland, but it does not only talk about Dietland. Frankly, that wouldn't fill an hour anyway. Dietland is it's own show, worthy of it's own review, to the previous reviewer. *ahem*
Episode 2, season 1, Gloria Allred. Yes. Thank you. Aisha, perfection. Yes. All yes.
It does not just look at one side of the issues, which I appreciate. There is a value in playing Devil's advocate and asking hard questions in how complicit women are in the roles women are placed in and where they are expected to remain. Subservient, in the background. At the same time we hold ourselves to a higher standard when it comes to parenting and prevention of pregnancy. Why? We are as sexist as men in that regard if we are honest. Again, why? Men have less accountability, they can walk away without consequences most of the time.
These issues, blaming victims of assault, tesring down other women due to race, weight, etc. These things need to be discussed. This show is what we have needed for a very long time. These are the issues that are and have been so important, especially now with women's rights being discussed and basic health for the poor on the financial chopping block so to speak. I cannot believe it is 2018 and this is the only show I've seen like it on network TV.
Anyway, so far so good. Aisha brings the comedy, the hard questions, and accountability to those people and entities for a show that might otherwise miss the mark with another host. In my humble opinion.
I think it is pretty close to perfect. I hope she keeps it up. I love it.

Aisha Tyler and Unapologetic are great!!!!

The show is a new way to view the issues That not only affect our present, but past as well. With open forums like this, and women as strong as Aisha Tyler being the after voice of a show like Dietland, that could influence or encourage crucial conversations to happen off screen. Those conversations could mean that in the future there may be positive change! Keep up the great work! Anything in the future can only get better!!!!!!!
This isn't Talking Dead. That's a good thing.

At first I wasn't sure what to think because I came to the show thinking it was going to be like Talking Dead. This is not a fan geek out but after watching all the episodes, I'm so glad it isn't. Dietland is much more than a typical scripted drama and deserves a follow up show like this one. The topics Dietland deal with are so important that I'm glad Aisha and the crew are delving more deeply into them in each episode. And it does have a fun side with Aisha's sense of humor while dealing with serious issues. Brava! BTW, a lot of the negative reviews here are men. Don't have to wonder what that's about.
