Good Girls - pure entertainment

Good Girls is a funny, light comedy with a great cast. It touches on a few interesting topics amid much craziness and a not-so-realistic storyline.

The plot is about three moms who, out of despair and facing financial problems, decide to rob a shop. Everything seemed to go perfectly well until they realized that they found more money in the safe than what would be expected. The problem? It belongs to a local gang.

The story is, indeed, a little implausible. Nonetheless, quite interesting. You simply can’t stop watching it.

The perfect mom

The main characters are mothers who would do anything for their children. However, forget the idea of the perfect mom. They are human beings, after all.

The excitement of committing a felony, the fear of getting caught, seems to be the rush of adrenaline they lacked in their lives.

Nevertheless, one second is enough for everything to get out of control. They are trying to remain ‘good’ while they need to hide all they did, at any cost. All of that, mixed with more and more ambition.

Rio

I loved this character. Rio is funny and scary, he is lovely and idiotic. Manny Montana is absolutely perfect in this role.

Rio is a curious character, a gangster with a big heart, yet a gangster nonetheless. Always changing the game and leaving the girls increasingly involved in their crimes.

Annie’s daughter

Annie’s (Mae Whitman) daughter's story is a secondary plot that I really enjoyed. You have this little girl who prefers to dress like a boy, and it’s okay! Her mom doesn’t make a big deal of it, just accepts her, which is absolutely beautiful.

These characters star in one of the show's most beautiful scenes. When Sadie’s (Isaiah Stannard) stepmother gives birth, and Annie comes home and says, “It’s a boy!” Sadie replies, “me too,” and her mother doesn’t ask a single question; she simply hugs him.

An underrated piece of entertainment

Good Girls is a good comedy with some strategically placed bits of drama and tenderness. With good actors and great performances that can make you forget you had a bad day.

It is a controversial show, with contradictory opinions, mostly because the story is not very plausible or realistic. Usually, that would be a problem for me, but for some reason, not in this case. It made me laugh, get emotional, and entertained. I can’t wait for next season.

Gangsta Granny – Hilarious and Surprisingly Moving

I have a ten-year-old daughter, and one thing we like to do is read the same books so we can talk about them afterward. Gangsta Granny was a birthday gift for her, and she read it so quickly that it immediately made me curious. When a child finishes a book that fast, you know something is working. When I finally read it myself, I was pleasantly surprised — and completely charmed. A Story That Is Funny and Moving At first glance, Gangsta Granny is a crazy, over-the-top, and very funny story. David Walliams clearly knows how to make children laugh, using absurd situations, exaggerated characters, and a fast-moving plot that keeps young readers hooked. But beneath the humour, the book is also sweet, touching, and emotionally rich. What starts as a wild adventure slowly reveals a story about family, loneliness, empathy, and learning to truly see the people around us. This balance reminded me of Roald Dahl’s books , where outrageous humour and emotional depth coexist effortles...

The Handmaid’s Tale – From Brilliant to Frustrating

When The Handmaid’s Tale first aired, it felt sharp, terrifying, and painfully necessary. I wrote about the first season as a dark and brilliant adaptation, one that used restraint, symbolism, and dread to tell its story. Now that I've finished the third season, my opinion has shifted — not wholly, but noticeably. The show is still good . Sometimes very good. But it also became frustrating, uneven, and less powerful than it could have been. June Osborne: From Survivor to Exhaustion Let’s talk about June (Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men ). I understand the idea behind her arc. She was meant to evolve — to become more confident, more assertive, more dangerous. A woman shaped by trauma who stops surviving and starts fighting back. On paper, it makes sense. On screen, however, it often doesn’t work. June becomes reckless to the point of irresponsibility. She repeatedly puts others in danger without seeming to fully care about who might be caught in the crossfire. Her actions feel impuls...

A Surprisingly Delightful Journey Through the Galaxy

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was already a favorite book of someone very close to me, but I wasn’t sure it would become my gem. I had also read several reviews claiming it wasn’t funny at all. That made me even more skeptical. Humor is subjective, after all — and clearly this book isn’t for everyone. But I gave it a try. And I was positively surprised. Reading the Ultimate Edition I picked up The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy , a special edition that includes: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy The Restaurant at the End of the Universe Life, the Universe and Everything So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish Young Zaphod Plays It Safe Mostly Harmless I intend to read the remaining stories as soon as I can. If the first one is any indication, the journey through the rest of the galaxy will be just as strange — and just as thought-provoking. Absurdity as a Mirror of Humanity What struck me most is how full the story is of metaphors ...
