Less than a week!
You know, I went into Mildred Pierce with pretty low expectations, as nothing I'd heard about the Joan Crawford movie made it sound like anything I'd be interested in, but this mini-series was really engrossing.
You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.

Yeah, I enjoyed it. I feel like this Mildred came across very differently than the Joan Crawford Mildred. And boy, was Vida a poisonous brat or what?

Always Anti-fascist!
The few times I acted like Veda as a girl got my face slapped. And, one notable time, a long lefty lecture about how all work is dignified and etc.

It seems the writer has never met a geeky girl. Or, as Felicia Day put it via twitter, "Nobody puts geek girls in a corner!"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Girls don't read fantasy! Or long books! Icky!

I guess all the telepathic dragons and cats I remember from my fantasy-reading days as a teen were targeted at boys?
