NBC’s Good Girls is a compelling dramedy,Aam Ras (2024) Hindi Short Film the kind that immediately wants you to press play on the next episode.
It didn’t get the attention it deserved when it began in February last year. Blame it on premiering midseason or on the cluttered #PeakTV mania or on a disillusioning series title. Its extremely binge-worthy stature became apparent when it started streaming on Netflix a little while ago.
The show is anchored by the leading trio of Christina Hendricks, Mae Whitman, and Retta – a big enough selling point on its own. Good Girls has a wild plot but finds depth in flawed, relatable protagonists and unexpected stories about women empowerment.
In Season 2, which is set to return on March 3, the show expands everything that makes it good in a friskier, bolder manner.
SEE ALSO: 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Season 6 thrives in unexpected spotlightSisters Beth (Hendricks) and Annie (Whitman) along with BFF Ruby (Retta) start out the show by robbing a grocery store where Annie works as a cashier. They're each facing deep financial issues, obviously.
The real drama begins when they realize they’ve sneaked off with more cash (and trouble) than bargained for because the grocery store is actually a front for wanted money launderer Rio (Manny Montana).
Good Girls is totally worth the few hours and many popcorn bags you'll devote to it.
The ladies are forced into doing more crime for him in order to protect themselves. Each episode unravels a fun new twist in their lives — Annie's blackmailing coworker, Ruby's loving cop(!) husband, the FBI agent investigating Rio, and a recent widow Mary Anne (Alison Tollman) who gets too involved in their "business."
Good Girls, however, manages to find unexpected gravitas amidst its well-written situational humor.
Beth goes through a major identity crisis in Season 1. Her picture-perfect suburban life comes crashing down when she learns of her husband's infidelity and terrible monetary decisions. The criminal world gradually turns into her respite, transforming her into a badass boss bitch.
Ruby and Stan (Reno Wilson) are in this idealistic marriage, which is why your heart hurts every time she struggles to keep her character's many, many secrets from her law-abiding husband. Season 2 explores this dilemma further because Season 1 ended with Ruby finally letting Stan in on (most) of her problems.
Parks and Recreation proved she is a comedic force but Good Girls lets Retta embrace her tender dramatic side. And then there is this fierce takedown:
Good Girls turns the women of the show into leaders. Their entire "screw this, we're already in it, anyway" attitude provides plenty of laughs along the way.
The show has an extreme Desperate Housewives vibe to it, which is no surprise considering series creator Jenna Bans wrote for the long-running ABC drama. But its tighter with its narrative because each season consists of only 10 episodes. The story moves at a great pace without spilling into the clunky category.
The second season is equally gratifying. It answers the finale cliffhangers, quickly sets up darker crimes, and increases the stakes for Annie, Beth, Ruby, and their loved ones. It's totally worth the few hours and many popcorn bags you'll devote to it.
Season 1of Good Girls is streaming on Netflix so catch up in time for the Season 2 premiere on March 3 on NBC.
