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.
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!
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.
