And as "Unbelievable" pointed out, a woman can be any age, race, or physical appearance in her own home and still be a victim. And her word still doubted.

More centered on the detective work and what the women who survived the rapes went through as a result of them. No gratuitous violence or sex that I can recall. At all. And as far as I remember, the only nudity was male.

And one of the things that made that scene so effective and powerful was that it was it was the Karen Duvall character who flashed the badge. It was so interesting to see the vast differences in the characters of the two women detectives. Grace was much more of what we would think of as a stereotypical female detective. Tough. Brusque. Short on patience and quick to speak her mind whereas Karen was so much softer-seeming. Her voice, her appearance, her gaze, her hair, her church-going. But in that scene she really showed her quiet strength. I loved that. In her own way she was as tough or tougher than Grace. It's one of those series that it's going to be hard to shake from my mind. VERY well done.

I'll grow and eat fresh peas which means we only eat peas a few times a year. your story of the little store reminded me of the little store down the dirt road from my aunt and uncle's place in the country in east Texas. no air conditioning (this was back in the 50s and 60s) with a screen door.

I had to comment today as I was thinking about going to the chiropodist in the city sometime soon as I haven't been for ages. He is a doctor and doesn't do polish or any cosmetic stuff so not a "pedicure" as we would call it. On the other hand he is a drop-dead gorgeous young black man and the thought of getting my feet massaged by him sends me into a swoon (I know, you take what you can get when you're over 60). And I also had to laugh at the "peas" story! I'm a Brit but have lived in France for over 30 years. I NEVER bought peas because I didn't like them. So one day I asked my youngest what he had had to eat for lunch with the babysitter and he said "hamburger, fries and little round green balls"! Had to start buying peas after that!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-82149059614998035442019-10-08T22:19:36.160-04:002019-10-08T22:19:36.160-04:00I gobbled Unbelievable, So, so much in there that ...I gobbled Unbelievable, So, so much in there that was relatable even for a fortunate person such as myself who has not been raped (as of now, my cynical brain adds)...
