What makes it different from others?

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Similar to some of the other reviewers I created an account especially to warn people how bad this show is. I can't believe it has 7/10 rating here. I get the whole idea of trying to create a show around a character who hasn't figured out life yet. In general I am a real sucker for coming-of-age shows and movies. It's in interesting topic, especially for this genre and it has a lot of potential to create something around a young insecure adult who acidentally becomes a business owner. But this show is just not much fun to watch. Better, it's very unpleasant to watch.The main character is so over the top afwul: spoiled, inmature, unfriendly, dramatic and egoistic that I am uncapable to symphatize with her. And yes, I guess as some of the other reviews said, the main actress is a good one based on the fact alone that she causes this many negative reactions. But I watch a show from this genre to be entertained and to relax in a happy, light and funny way. Not to have my heart rate going up because of the discomfort and annoyance I feel when having to watch this. The story line is thin and supporting characters aren't great either. It could be a funny show with sometimes even a hint of touching upon a profound topic (how to figure out life) but its just NOT. Note: I only watched the first two episodes.

I really tried not to give up after the first episodes, but I am on episode 8 and I still believe it's aweful. This show reflects all the bad things of the new generation. Sophia believe that she is a unique snowflake and that because she is so special she can do whatever she wants. In the end she is just a rude spoiled girl, attached to the american dream, so out of date.I see the girl, she is a child, I can't see the boss.

Well, IMDb ratings can be misleading. Take it from this show. After acquiring my new netflix subscription, I was sort of browsing what to watch next after completing my beloved show stranger things season 2 in only 15 hours. So here it was, having an 7.1 rating on IMDb. And what a B..s... was it, The show starts with Sophia, a 23 year old girl living in San Francisco getting kicked out of her job as a shop assistant in a shoe store. And guess what I was happy that she was kicked out. Within the first 5 minutes of the show, the main protagonist has become so detestable to me that I am actually rooting against her. Then she buys a vintage jacket, steals a rub (yes she is a thief too, and not a kleptomaniac, she actually steals things whenever she feels entitled to it) and sleeps in the park. Then she enters into her apartment (I mean what was the point of sleeping in the park!!!!!). Then she uploads this vintage jacket's photo on ebay and gets a bidding of 650 dollars which gives her the idea to start an online business by selling vintage clothes. But here's the catch, the main character is so very much annoying and incorrigible that you won't simply care about her. I gave this s... 4 episodes and you know what I am done with this.This is a story about a self entitled person, who thinks that everyone is trying to make her fail. Guess what nobody cares about such a person who has no passion for what she does.

Adulthood is where dreams go to die, bankruptcy is where companies go to die. It's unfortunate that whilst this series fanatically praises Nasty Gal founder Sophia Amuroso (here, she is called Sophia Marlowe)as a business success, in life Amuroso has stepped down as CEO and the company is bankrupt.Sass alone does not make success but fictional Sophia seems to get by simply on being a sassy millenial. She starts the series as a twenty-three year old shoplifting drifter, who is stuck in teenager mood (where she basically remains throughout the whole series)and ends up a girlboss (the kind of patronising term you might use on marketing a Barbie doll).Though the first three or four episodes are unbearably smug, Britt Robertson does a good job as little-girl-lost Sophia, seller of vintage fashion. Ellie Reed is fine enough as Sophia's hanger-on/best buddy Annie.It's not so much the acting that's the problem as the whole concept being flawed. It's free publicity for the Nasty Gal business and no amount of dramatic license will disguise the fact that this is a six and a half hour commercial.The reality is sanitised in the show. For starters, there is whitewashing (Sophia Amuroso is of Greek, Italian and Portuguese descent). Secondly, in this version Sophia is still in contact with her dad, with a relationship no more strained than any young daughter. When we know that he can bail her out financially, her decision to shoplift is bratty rebellion rather than financial problems.The material was pretty thin anyway so unsurprisingly it did not get a second season.
