A Very Good Biography Series

Warning: Spoilers
While all of the biographies have been solid, the one I wan to focus on is that of The Bella Twins. I loved how honest it all came across and how Nikki and Brie weren't afraid to get so personal. Brie disclosing how she had been sexually assaulted not once, but twice really hit me hard. Same for her disclosure of when she suffered from severe depression.

I love that they regularly gave nods of thanks for the support of other women from the Divas era (Brie mentioning how Victoria took really good care of her during her debut match, the emphasis on the tag team match with Emma and Paige that started the #GiveDivasAChance movement on social media rather than pretending it was just the Bellas who started the womens revolution. The likely pretty problematic mention of how they checked in with AJ Lee on if a match angle where Brie kissed AJ was ok with AJ. The reflection of selling out an arena with just women for the Evolution pay per view etc etc).

I love that they highlighted the feud between the Bellas and Stephanie McMahon. That feud was easily the most interesting for the women in close to a decade at the time and it doesn't get nearly the credit it deserves for how incredible it was.
