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.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.
