Another braces for a laser trained on her cheek. A third carefully slices open her breast with a razor. In a voice-over, they read their emails to a high-powered editor of a fictional women’s magazine pleading for advice: “Dear Kitty, I’m ready to kill myself–or maybe somebody else.” But Kitty (Julianna Margulies) doesn’t answer their letters. Rather, a ghostwriter named Plum (Joy Nash), herself plagued by self-loathing and saving up for a dangerous weight-loss surgery, writes back. Plum’s increasingly political emails attract the attention of a terrorist group called Jennifer, which kills rapists and dumps their bodies off buildings and bridges. This radical group wants to fight not just the men who hurt women physically, but also the institutions that scar women psychologically. Jennifer taps Plum to infiltrate the toxic world of fashion magazines. _Dietland_ felt like fantasy when the best-selling book, written by Sarai Walker, was published in 2015\. But it won’t feel nearly as farfetched when the show premieres on June 4\. The series takes the #MeToo movement to its most violent extreme. To viewers, women donning witches’ masks and forcing rapists to read confessions on camera may feel empowering–if more than a little scary. Just a few years ago, this show never would have been made. But righteous female rage on television, which had been simmering, has now reached a boiling point. On Netflix’s _Dear White People_, college-radio DJ Sam (Logan Browning) airs her grievances about white male privilege. On NBC’s _Good Girls_, three suburban moms tie up a would-be rapist and leave him in a tree house. On HBO’s _Westworld_, female androids gain sentience and aim their guns at the humans who abused them. On Hulu’s dystopian _Handmaid’s Tale_, June (Elisabeth Moss) burns the conservative red robes that identified her as a sex slave. _Dietland_ is only the latest, and most outrageous, revenge fantasy to storm the small screen. For years the Tony Sopranos and Walter Whites of TV expressed their rage in egotistical outbursts: “I’m the one who knocks.” But these women, having learned to suffer in silence, approach revenge more stoically. _Westworld_‘s Thandie Newton maintains a serene stare even as the blood of the men she murders spatters on her face. On The _Handmaid’s Tale_, Elisabeth Moss gives a rebellious smirk under her bonnet. Historically, these women flew solo. The women of _Desperate Housewives_ bickered with one another, while the female lawyers of _The Good Wife_ feuded in order to protect their cheating husbands. But now they’re beginning to unite. On _Dear White People_, frenemies Sam and Coco (Antoinette Robertson) join together to make change on campus when one of their male counterparts fails to move the needle. When _Good Girls_‘ Ruby (Retta) accidentally shoots a bad guy, her friends rush to her aid. Even _Dietland_ villain Kitty–who runs a beauty empire built on women’s insecurities and pays for a photographer’s legal fees when he’s accused of rape–finds commonality in her resentment. She must stay thin and young-looking, while her male colleagues can grow fat and bald in peace. When guerrilla group Jennifer kills that predatory photographer, Kitty can’t help but laugh. But as satisfying as watching this moment play out in media might feel for women who have been subjugated and abused, the consequences can be jarring. Male superheroes casually destroy entire cities and never bother to examine the damage. But when women, conditioned by society to play nice and care for others, are the perpetrators of violence–no matter how justified–it’s still shocking. In time, female antiheroes may become the norm, but for now _Dietland_ and other shows of its ilk feel audacious. It’s enough to make you wonder what will come next–onscreen and off.
