Her name is Dinah. In the Bible her life is only hinted at during a brief, violent detour within the more familiar chapters about her father Jacob, and his dozen sons in the book of Genesis. Told through Dinah's eloquent voice, this sweeping miniseries reveals the traditions and turmoil of ancient womanhood. Dinah's tale begins with the story of her mothers: Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah, the four wives of Jacob. They all love Dinah and give her gifts that are to sustain her through a hardworking youth, a calling to midwifery, and a new home in a foreign land. Dinah tells us of the world of the red tent, the place where women were sequestered during their cycles of birthing, menses, and illness; of her initiations into the religious and sexual practices of her tribe; of Jacob's courtships of his four wives; of the mystery and wonder of caravans, farmers, shepherds, and slaves; of love and death in the city of Shechem; of her half-brother Joseph's rise in Egypt, and, of course, her rape and its bloody consequences.

Speaking of TV shows: Movie references made in NBC's Community Disclaimer: The title is a joke. I know most entries are limited series, and I am also aware a lot of the entries aren't the actual TV shows in their entirety, just special or extended episodes. Think of those as being representative of the show, and not the shows themselves. Also, I recently added directly from larger lists that also compiled tv shows in them, but some movies sometimes found their way into those lists, which may be why you’ll see some actual movies on here.
