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.

Wednesday 2 (Part 1) – A Gorgeously Dark Return to Nevermore

Wednesday Season 2 lands with all the gothic flair that made the original binge-worthy —this time spotlighting even richer family dynamics and chilling new mysteries at Nevermore Academy. The first four episodes dropped on Netflix August 6, 2025 , with fans grudgingly waiting until September 3 for Part 2 . Why It’s Still a Blast Jenna Ortega continues to shine as a morose sleuth grappling with her supernatural talents and unwanted hero status. Her sharp delivery and deadpan wit are as compelling as ever. Family ties get deeper attention —Pugsley’s arrival at school, Morticia’s campus involvement (with Catherine Zeta-Jones in flamboyant form), and intriguing new faces like Steve Buscemi as the oddball new principal elevate the ensemble. Atmosphere and aesthetic remain rich and inventive. Tim Burton’s return as director (including a delightfully eerie animated sequence) and the inclusion of ominous crows and haunting visuals continue to delight. Mystery hooks abound...

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story - review

While I found the pacing of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story slow and, at times, even boring, the show shines in one particular area: its psychological depth. What kept me engaged wasn’t the storytelling rhythm, but the way it explored two very distinct and haunting personalities under the same roof. Two Sides of the Same Violence The series captures the sharp contrast between Lyle and Erik brilliantly. On one side, we see the volatile, angry, and violent brother—unpredictable but outwardly dominant, always ready to explode. On the other side, there is the insecure, fragile “mouse” of the family—timid, hesitant, almost paralyzed by fear. Yet, what makes Erik compelling is that under the right conditions, even he can lash out violently, especially when pulled into the orbit of his more aggressive brother. The dynamic between them feels like a nightmare recipe: one commanding, the other submissive, but both carrying destructive potential. The Many Shape...
