Good Girls - pure entertainment

Good girls is a funny, light comedy with a great cast. It approaches a few interesting topics in the middle of much craziness and a not so realistic storyline.

The plot is about three moms, that out of despair - each one them with financial problems - decide to rob a shop. Everything seemed to go perfectly well until they realize 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 that would do anything for there children. However, forget the idea of the perfect mom. They are human beings, after all. The excitation 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 more and more rolled up in their crimes.

Annie’s daughter

Annie’s 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 most beautiful scenes in the show. When Sadie’s stepmother gives birth and Annie comes home and says, “It’s a boy!”. Sadie replies, “me too,” and her mother doesn’t make 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 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.

Emily in Paris 3: The Good, the Bad, and the Unrealistic

The third season of Emily in Paris got a lot of hate and love among the viewers. People can’t decide if it was the best season or the worst of all. And I understand why. We start the season with Emily’s life in perfect chaos, and she doesn’t seem to know what she wants. She never does… Is this good for the plot? Maybe. Is this annoying? Sometimes. So… why can’t we stop watching it? Are you feeling frustrated? Me too. She doesn’t know what she wants. She can’t make a decision, not in her love life, not in her job… And it is not because she wants it all. She is not mature enough to say no and own her decision and its consequences. Emily comes across as a spoiled little girl. The problem is that she is the main character, yet, Mindy starts to feel way more interesting than her. Also, any other character on the show is funnier than Emily, namely her co-workers, who apparently are very bad at their jobs and need her to save them with every single client… How did they keep the company...

Gender, Power, and Cigarettes: Why 'Mad Men' Still Resonates

Mad Men is a masterpiece of television that blends sharp storytelling with striking period detail, offering a reflective glimpse into the 1960s. The series follows Don Draper and the high-stakes world of Madison Avenue advertising, all while painting a vivid picture of the era's societal norms, especially the rampant sexism and rigid gender roles. It's both mesmerizing and infuriating, particularly in its honest depiction of how women were treated. Strong Emotions The show’s brilliance lies in its ability to evoke strong emotions—its subtlety, exceptional writing, and rich characters draw you into a world that feels both foreign and disturbingly recent. The meticulously crafted period aesthetics are complemented by historical undercurrents, from civil rights to cultural shifts, which remain integral yet never overshadow the deeply personal dramas of the characters. Wait For the Impact Mad Men doesn’t rely on flashy plot twists; instead, it uses nuanced storyte...
