What I liked

I was weeping within 10 minutes, and that honestly left me shook. “Body positive” has become for me such a trite catchphrase that my expectations for this show were dispassionate, at best. I had no idea that I was in for a most charming, genuine, earnest celebration of love and differentness. Because of their compelling worldview, these women have more appreciation and grace for my body than I have for myself. I was moved, challenged and entertained.

What I didn't like

It’s hard to offer constructive criticism to a show that knows exactly what it is and executes so daringly.

My overall impression

Beautiful, raw, and inspirational. Wildly inspirational.
