Good Girls Revolt

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.

Happenstance led me to this series and I, as well as my husband, totally taken with it. Having lived the 60's in Manhattan, I can really relate to this. So disappointed the series was not renewed. Hoping this will change. Can't wait to introduce my daughter to the series (she lived Manhattan in the late 90's). Great series, excellent performances!

So I just realized I have access to Amazon Prime here in France and I was so excited to find this show! I love the characters, the attention to detail and like others have mentioned, as a women, appreciating how much opportunity we do have now thanks to women who were truly brave. That being said, I think the fact that this show was canceled by a man, not involving women in the process, demonstrates exactly how much further we have yet to go! I am tempted to say, let's us women, who frankly probably make up well over half of Amazon's clients, take a stand and force them to bring it back. Not sure I can be that strong to give up my Amazon Prime addiction (especially working full time with 2 kids under the age of 3 at home) but the women depicted in this show did more than that, risking their careers and challenging social norms. There is a great article in the Atlantic about the ramifications of the male dominated entertainment industry that goes far beyond entertainment. It just frankly stinks that women have to pretty much do everything now, and contribute so much not only to the economy, to art, to culture, and to their families and we cannot even get a second season of a great show about our triumphs as a group. Shame on you, Amazon. I thought we were cool.

This show is excellent! Well written, beautiful concept, incredible cast, and very timely. This show is smart and funny, beautiful and inspiring all at the same time. It deals with so many important topics that are still relevant to this day. I watched every episode when it originally aired, and I've been waiting and hoping that Amazon would come to their senses and continue on with it, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Why drop this highly rated female-driven show that wasn't even given a chance? Amazon really dropped the ball on this one and missed out on an incredible opportunity.

I absolutely loved this show, even though it's one season, still watch it. I'm hoping another network will pick it up and continue with it. They could really go somewhere with this.
