nytrip9115 March 2019When I heard about that show I didn't think I had any desire to watch something far-fetched and cheesy. It is neither. Christina Hendricks is amazing, definitely worth the watch, and Matthew Lillard is perfect for this role- just looking at him makes me want to punch him in the face. The younger sister can be annoying but that's the writers fault, and not a reflection of her acting ability. Retta is great and Reno Wilson, although his role is smaller, is perfect. Even the annoying grocery store manager (David Hornsby) is good because you like hating him. Alison Tolman is fun to hate too. All in all? I'm watching the first season for the second time with my husband who likes it too. As one who rarely enjoys free television, I encourage others to stick to original series on Netflix and HBO etc to give it a try. It's a cut above what the three networks usually offer.

gallagherkellie3 August 2020Season one was great, 7/10. Unbelievable but funny and entertaining! Season 2 was good but the same things kept happening, and season 3 is exactly the same all over again! Every time they make money, something happens where they either lose it or have to pay someone. So they are constantly broke and working for nothing. And now another cop is after them. Also I'm not sure if the writers are trying to make us feel sorry for them, but they are 3 normal mothers who are finding it tough to pay bills. Welcome to the real world, they aren't any worse off than most people. But still I will watch season 4 because it is an easy watch! A few shock moments here and there!

mollyacosta25 April 2018I don't know what the critics are talking about. I love this show!! I wait for Monday to come around so I can watch. It taps into the "bad girl" excitement that is missing in the everyday life of being a mom. And Manny Montana...No explanation needed. I do wish he played a bigger role in the series. I'm hoping we see more and more of him. Ignore the critics and give this show a chance!

alnombreid16 April 2018Action packed, quality tv show leaves you wanting more. Clean enough tv show to not make you feel dirty after watching it, but still an adult show with rich characters. Great writing that I could watch again and again on tv or in the cinema. Classic characters you want to see develop which remind me of Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul. I hope to see these Good Girls tv show characters develop and grow.

greeksweety-5132710 April 2018This Show is amazing!!!! I hope Rio and Beth start something.

...it would be this show. Great storylines with promising development and shockingly convincing and easily likeable characters. As a 30-something housewife and mother of two, I utterly appreciate this show.
-
For the first season I would give 8 stars. It has nice turns. It had ups and downs. But with the 2 and the 3 season it just has a downward spiral of more and more tension without any releases. Every solution to a problem directly creates an even bigger one. I watch it just because I hope there will be any release. To be honest I'm glad when the series is over right now.

mayaduenas18 July 2018Addicted to Rio's sexy voice, his demeanor, and mysteriousness! I hope they will show his back story!

JeanDeMichaque6 August 2020Season one had me hooked up and the following season kept the bar high. But it should have ended there. Season 3 was a major letdown for me. I struggled watching the last episodes of the season and I m not even sure if I'll watch season 4. The characters have become so less likeable and the story is just not believable any more.

Good Girls has: Good friends Great suspense Simmering sexual tension Mad true love Deep Mother's love Good cops and wicked bad robbers
This show has it all, told in an an exciting way that keeps you hooked while you laugh and cry.
Hint: I was so caught up in the drama I binged this series in a day, the show should be leisurely enjoyed, a couple of episodes at time, with a good whiskey or bottle of red and some popcorn; Treat yo' self. -
nissebror27 June 2019This is a review for both season 1 and season 2 of this show.
This show has both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness in its main characters. Early on, it seems like a worthwhile endevaour to follow the misadventures of these characters, to see what sort of crazy hijinks they get up to, but what plagues them by the of season 2 is the same feeling of staleness that most shows like these struggle with. If characters always get into trouble, then it's neither shocking nor interesting to see how they get out of it, cause you know from the start that they will and that they will inevitably get into more trouble later on.
So this is what I mean by the earlier sentiment. The characters start to feel like paper-cut outs of their earlier selves, where they are put into situations as opposed to naturally growing with the show. Add to this, a frustrating amount of storylines that disappear into nothingness, and you have a show that, while great at times, fails to really deliver on its promise. -
I thought I found a great new series but after the first season it becomes mired in just being dumb instead of funny and dumb. In fact, it's actually frustrating. I'm really not familiar with Christina Hendricks except from Tin Star where I thought she was actually one of the few interesting characters. In Good Girls, they try too hard to keep Beth on the fence between bad ass and dumb blond, and her snarling at Rio & constantly questioning him as if she still hasn't figured out he's a baller gets sooo old. Mae Whitman as Annie starts out interesting but becomes grating with her endless sarcasm & animated caterpillar eyebrows. I'm calling it quits after Ruby & Beth rob the flop house and then stood there arguing, literally waiting to get busted by somebody. I mean, dumb can be funny for sure, but almost all of S2 is just not funny anymore. It spends too much time just framing the same tired scenarios again and again and having these never-learn-from-their-mistakes women throwing themselves against the brick wall of incompetency. I enjoyed the first season but halfway through S2 I'm feeling really let down.

vso-4440217 April 2018Love this show! It's a mashup of Desperate Housewives and Thelma & Louise. It's funny, yet thought provoking about how far you'd be willing to go to protect your family. A must see show!

emailcarissa20 March 2018I freaking love, Love, LOVE this show!! This is such a new kind of show and all the actors are amazing!

spyropoulouan30 July 2020The first two seasons were great.Third season is pure trash. No development between the characters.Very slow pace and no action.The writers failed to find ideas to move forward. Characters give the impression they don't have any emotions, they just roll with what is happening. It was promising at the beginning but failed to reach its potential.

theblabla24525 March 2018I watch very few comedy shows cause not a lot of them can make me laugh and/or keep my interest but this show...Oh...My...God!
The characters in the show are highly likable. They got different personalities so there is something for everyone and it also adds to the comedy. Seeing three vastly different people trying to accomplish a common goal (to get out of debt) is surprisingly hilarious.
I was worried that the plot was going to stick to them having to owe the gang throughout the entire season but it ditches that before your even a quarter way through the season and instead does a multitude of funny adventures to keep you entertained.
The writing is spot on. Good dialogue, nothing seems forced, it is natural.
Overall, this is a very good show. -
ndeshi111023 September 2021Season 4 is just absolutely awful so many unnecessary stupid story lines that amount to nothing (what was the point of that unbearable English therapist?? ) And the only thing more annoying than Retta (Ruby) is her useless husband Stan. The best thing about this show is Mammy Montana whose acting and looks are fantastic.

robnicholson31 May 2020The first two seasons were great. Season three is simply bad. Not thought out, the characters and situations have become repetitive and annoying.
-
L-AppelDuVide10 August 2020I loved season 1 and enjoyed season 2, but season 3 is so repetitive and boring. Also, I can no longer sympathize with the girls, they now do everything wrong (they became bad wives, mothers... bad people in general) and don't seem to feel too bad about it. I don't believe the writers will be able to save this show, which is a pity because it was so much fun at the beginning.

jadams4146 March 2018Unlike other reviewers, I absolutely love this show! The actors are marvelous, the premise is believable, and the comedy actually makes me laugh. I cannot wait for the next episode. How nice to see these dramatic actresses in a new vein. I've even recommended it to my girlfriend in Idaho. Guess I enjoy a difference of opinion then some of the others, but I will look forward to more of these ladies' capers.

randyunseen31 December 2019This show started out so good. Then the writers run out of ideas. So then the show goes over the top. Starts to become to unreal and out there. "Girls Very Smart" "Cops very Stupid" That's never been done... Boring...

acdicorte8 September 2021Love this show through to the end. The only annoying thing that never seems to go away is the annoying husband.
