Series 1: 1. This Is NOT What a Feminist Looks Like

Barbara is a fashion influencer who posts about #girlpower all day long but is too busy hustling to attend a protest. Elise is an awkward English exchange student who’s come to Australia to reinvent herself as a one-woman Pussy Riot but is a bit too scared of getting in trouble. After a chance meeting in art class, and fed up with the boyfriends and professors in their lives, the two girls decide to take a stand. In the dead of night and drunk as skunks, they deface the University Quadrangle, spray-painting it with the words ‘Kill All Men’. The next morning they wake to news that the university’s star rugby player has been murdered, castrated, and plonked on top of their political statement with those very same words carved into his chest. Sure, Elise and Barbara could tell the cops about their co-opted political statement, but the terms of Elise’s scholarship stipulate ‘no misconduct’, and Barbara’s extensive list of Insta endorsement deals rests on her being strictly apolitical. So now it’s up to the girls to erase their ties to the crime, and track down the real culprit. Simple, right? They wish.\nBad feminists. Worse detectives.
