Good Girls Revolt (2015–2016)
10/10
Too good to have only one season!
29 June 2020
Honestly, this is one of the best shows I have ever watched. All of the characters are interesting and multi-dimensional. Each episode is interesting on its own while, at the same time, building a larger narrative. It shows a familiar story in a unique and interesting way without villainizing every single male character. Yes, there are bad men in this show and the occasional bad women, but it shows that the problem with sexism in the U.S. workplace is more complicated. In addition to this, it also makes you think about other problems in the U.S., such as what it is like to be a black woman in America, the problem with gender roles in marriage and romantic relationships, and the Vets dealing with PTSD. Furthermore, the acting and the costumes are simply stunning. The whole cast is amazing, and there isn't a single poor performance from anyone. However, Anna Camp steals the show as her character undergoes the most interesting transformation. She also looks breathtaking in every single shot she is in, regardless if she is in a fancy dress or a simple nightgown. The only real flaw of the show was it was too sexual at times. But if you can get passed that this show is nearly perfect. Sadly, I think this show came out just a little too soon as it predated the #Metoomovement. Nevertheless, if there ever is a second season, I would binge it all the day it came out.
