In my teenage years, I used to watch a lot of series. I didn’t miss any episode for the shows I loved that were being televised, and if I did, I would quickly search online for the episode I missed and watch it the next day. I loved watching shows very much! When I got to college, my free time was consumed by homework. Little by little, I was losing the habit of watching shows. I actually miss those times. They were an opportunity to clear my mind and have deep conversations with my friends about the characters or the context of the series we were watching at the time. Recently, however, I have regained that love for watching series and honestly, it had been a long time since I found such a good and intriguing one like Good Girls.
This series is about three women who are mothers: Beth, Ruby, and Annie. They’re going through difficult times in their individual lives, and because the trio of best friends are tired of solving everything and having, consequently, everything taken away from them, they decide to do something dangerous out of desperation and need. They make the decision to make a sudden robbery at a supermarket. The simple supermarket robbery leads these three women to having their lives intertwined with the underworld, under the shadow of the criminal Rio who runs a money laundering business. Having to work for him, Beth, Ruby, and Annie have to do everything they can to keep their new life as criminals a secret.
In the same way, the actresses who play these characters are incredible. I also love that the show realistically represents their frustrations, their emotions, the lifestyle that each of their characters adopts, and how they work with a high-ranking criminal in money laundering. It’s phenomenal! Thanks to Good Girls, I admire the work of each of these actresses and actors, because I never thought it was going to be a series that I would love so much.
