I loved it too. She’s gorgeous, intelligent and an inspiration. I’d like to read her book but just don’t have the time atm.

I always liked her - but watching this - what an amazing woman! Just so likeable and also wise.

She narrates her book on Audible, absolutely fascinating. Love her!

I am watching it too right now. She's witty and funny, and very open.

@MissFlite oh fantastic- will download. She’s so honest. Am just watching her talking about having her children. So honest and so refreshing.

I agree OP, she is so graceful. It was a very enjoyable documentary

I wonder how two completely opposite types of women personalities became so insanely popular in the US at around the same time: the Kartrashians vs Obama. Michele Obama is the height of grace.

I wish she would adopt me.

She’s just very “real”.

Just watching the bit where she’s with her bodyguards and she’s like “I check where their guns are as if I was going to try and take me ojt, I’d take them out first”
Just very real and normal

I think she ought to be given the position of Permanent First Lady. They can change Presidents but she should stay, a bit like the Queen & the PM. Her book is brilliant.

I’ve not read the book but just downloaded it now. Every bit I watch is making me love her more

Her book was great, took me through the height of the lockdown. So refreshingly honest in many ways.
But I know lots of crap went on behind the scenes too.
Anyway, Netflix night tomorrow!

Just finished it - and actually said out loud “what a fucking legend” (and I don’t usually speak like Danny dyer).

We need her in the white house

I didn't think it was much good.
It didn't tell us much about her at all.

Rumour is she's being groomed to run for POTUS.

The Obamas would be better off to follow the Jimmy Carter model.

She’s gorgeous, intelligent and an inspiration

I love her but am very disappointed that her first trait you stated was "she's gorgeous"

Michelle Obama is a lot more things before being gorgeous.

Her book is fantastic, she comes across as a genuine and hard working woman who uses her position to encourage and push for change.

She is quite explicit about NOT wanting to run for POTUS though.

I don’t think she wants to run for president - thin she’s too honest for that.

I didn’t know there was a tv programme, I loved the book.

She’s just brilliant.
