Almost Like Being in Love

This coming-of-age romantic-comedy-drama written by Catriona Knox and starring Gemma Whelan aired on Radio 4 earlier this week, and revolves around love 'in a world of non-binary, gender-fluid, constantly hyphenated thinking'.

Whelan plays Grace, a millennial who thinks of herself as sexually liberated, although in practice she's slept with three men, missionary-style. Then she falls in love with Iggy, plays by Rosie Cavaliero, a no-nonsense, forty-year-old LBGT matchmaker.

Girlboss

From executive producer Charlize Theron, among others, this new Netflix comedy is based on the memoirs of Sophia Amoruso (played by Britt Robertson) who went from auctioning vintage clothes on eBay to running her fashion empire Nasty Gal. Although since the show was announced Amoruso fell from grace, resigning from the company she founded as it filed for bankruptcy– and early reviews for the Netflix series have not been good, with the Guardian calling it 'a tone-deaf rallying cry to millennial narcissists'
