Speakerine - 2018 - 6/10
Brief French series set in 1962.
Christine is a broadcasting institution. She announces upcoming programs.
What she longs for is her own show, a woman’s show. By women, about women, for women.
An early strike for representation and equality. Anticipate male resistance.
Into the mix are a budding network alliance between France TV and US networks, terrorist activities from the OAS, family drama, and a large manor house where alpha males entertain underage plaisirs du jour.
Oh, and a malicious, unscrupulous rival bent on shoving Christine from her throne, no matter the means.
Six episodes stitched nicely.
