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.

My wife and I watched the whole show in 3 evenings. Each episode was better than the next. Great acting, great music, great characters, great story line. In the vain of Mad Men but with twenty somethings in 1969. The show felt like a natural extension of Mad Men and would be a natural progression into the topics of the 1970's. We were loving each of the three main characters and Could not wait until season two...but Amazon cancelled it after two months??? I was only aware of the show after a friend mentioned how good it was. I had not seen a single ad for it anywhere ( unlike Goliath which had ads everywhere). I mean how could this be a failure after two months of being out and no promotion? Stunned and turned off by this decision.

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.

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.

Good girls revolt is a combination of the Mary Tyler Moore show and newsroom. Erin Darke leads a fantastic ensemble that will keep you invested in their future. While their newspaper fight for equal rights for every minority they happily ignore the whole female gender and don't accept female writers. The girls decide to fight back. The male and female characters are complex and none of them are one dimensional good or bad. No men bashing just a quest for equality.
