“So hereu0026#39;s the thing: Lifetime movies are terrible. And fun. I leave them on during my work-from-home workday as entertainment in the background, because they require low emotional and intellectual investment. They always feature a lead woman, with a support cast. Bad things happen to the woman, but she takes control of the situation and in the end, always prevails without the help of any of her supporting cast.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne thing Lifetime movies never have: Sexual violence. Despite having stalkers and murderers in every movie, the movies just donu0026#39;t go there. And I appreciate that. These are silly romps that are intended to pump you up, and sexual violence would take away from that. And honestly, sexual violence is often the easy, expected thing to include in this kind of script. Ninety-nine percent of tv and movies, when they want to create a dramatic plot involving a woman, just resort to sexual violence against her.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis one has sexual violence and sexual trauma to the lead character. I hate it. Itu0026#39;s one of the few Lifetime movies that goes there. Just putting it out there, because people donu0026#39;t often recognize how cool and noteworthy it is that Lifetime typically avoids it.”
