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.

Can Monsters Love?Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story

Netflix's Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story is not just a true crime documentary — it’s a psychological deep dive into one of the most disturbing couples in British criminal history . While the crimes are shocking, the nature of Fred and Rose’s relationship truly unsettles. Were they in love? Or was their bond something far darker? A Match Made in Hell From the moment Fred and Rose met, something clicked. But it wasn’t a love story — it was a dangerous connection built on control, abuse, and mutual cruelty. The documentary shows us how they fed off each other’s darkest urges. It wasn’t about love in the traditional sense. It was about power, domination, and shared depravity. Can Psychopaths Feel Love? This is the big question. Can two people with such extreme psychological disorders really feel love? Some experts believe psychopaths can feel attachment, but not empathy — they might need someone, but not care for them in the way most of us understand....

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...

Raising Voices-A Messy Start That Becomes Something Powerful

Raising Voices (original title: Ni Una Más ) is the kind of show that initially made me want to stop watching — and then made me glad I didn’t. Based on the novel by Miguel Sáez Carral , this Spanish Netflix series explores teen life, sexual violence, and the power of speaking out. It's not always subtle, but it's effective. At First, It Felt Like Too Much The first couple of episodes? Honestly, I didn’t love them. It felt like the writers were trying to cram every possible issue related to sexual assault into one high school. Revenge porn, harassment, grooming, slut-shaming, rape culture — all at once. It was overwhelming. I wasn’t sure where to focus. Instead of building empathy, it felt like the show was going for pure shock value. It was hard to care when everything was dialed up to 100. But then something clicked. Maybe That Chaos Was the Point That disorientation — not knowing exactly what’s wrong, just feeling that something is — turns out to be inten...
