Good Girls Revolt

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.

Absolutely loved this series! Enjoyable from episode 1-10, great plot, characters were believable and it was a fast paced show, leaving you excited to watch next episode.

Moreover, it was well researched for time period (language, music, set, clothes etc) but most importantly it was a great representation of history!! This was such an important revolutionary time for women standing up for their rights no matter how big or small a part they played. What womenkind did for us then had shaped the world we live in now!

Amazon I'm so terribly disappointed you cancelled this, there was so much in the plot that you could have given us at least 3 series!! Please do more series like this, read the reviews of your shows! Women love all sorts of series, but I also love something other than action series that you are constantly piling out.

If you liked this, although not the same style I'd highly recommend Dietland & The Bold Type on Amazon Prime Video.

This is one of the best series I have ever seen. The stories it covers, the dominant of which being that of feminism, are as important today as the time of the story itself. The casting and performances are fantastic. It's perfectly executed and just a beauty to watch.

The lead female roles offer a range of characters which allow for some beautiful performances. It is also refreshing to see the balance of male and female partial nudity, rather than nudity being on the part of the female only.

The irony of an all-male board within a media company canceling a show about male dominance in the media industry. This is one of those shows whose importance should be all that we need to renew it.

Well done to all those involved in the creation of this series, keep it up.

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!

This is an exceptional show, period. Despite the name of the show and the "cutsie" feel that is conveyed with the photos and trailers, it is actually a very serious drama about women's rights in the late 60's into the early 70's. And even better, the root of the story is true (yes, different characters, names, and fictional subplots, but the key elements are exactly what happened at Newsweek). Some might dismiss this as a cheap Mad-Men clone. Others might knock it as a silly comedy. But anyone stating those opinions has clearly not watched the show, as it is an outstanding original drama that stands tall among the best shows out there.

And just a quick rant - Amazon decided to not renew this show for a 2nd season. The first season is a nicely wrapped story-arc and stands alone just fine, but there are so many other stories that could be told with this series. While drug use is depicted in the show, I think the decision makers at Amazon must also be partaking with the same recreational activities that were so popular during that era. Amazon - shame on you for such poor judgment in not renewing the show; it could have been a shining star in your portfolio ("Transparent" is an amazing show, but it isn't 2015 or 2016 any more; "Good Girls Revolt" could have been your next mega hit if promoted and supported properly).
