best movie i've ever seen.

Blistering performances.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I'm sorry that this program could not be continued. The cast is committed, with standout performances from Darke and Camp. The production design is wonderful, and the writing is crisp. Recommended.

It was difficult to believe no one picked up and continued to run this great series highlighting what WAS when there are so many absolutely mindless inane series that drone on and mentally strip mine our American brains.Given additional time, the writers might have also had opportunity to magnified many OTHER changes that occurred a mere few years prior to 1969. During THOSE times there were so many inequities which in today's light might be considered third world oppression of half the population.This series had me reflecting back to a few things from that era that immediately come to light ...mandatory high school curriculum: all girls were required to take home economics, sewing, office procedures and typing classes with the assumption we would never go on to college even though we were pursuing college prep classes.women required permission from their husband to apply/obtain a credit card or desiring a separate bank account.working women were unable to obtain a loan without their husband's permission or, if single, it necessitated securing a co-signer. If a co-signer was secured, the interest rates women paid were nearly double that of their male counterpart.to obtain birth control, women were required to be married AND have their husband's permission.women lost their job if it was discovered they were pregnant, working women hid their pregnancies with girdles until they began to "show".all men were in management with "his girl" sitting outside his office.advances/passes, touching/grabbing were never reported due to fear of job loss and labeling as a trouble maker.outspoken women were commonly and publicly criticized, jeered and labeled when speaking out against the inequity or if they expressed any personal thought or self-authority.Bizarre right? .... well, this was really not all that long ago ...

So I just realized I have access to Amazon Prime here in France and I was so excited to find this show! I love the characters, the attention to detail and like others have mentioned, as a women, appreciating how much opportunity we do have now thanks to women who were truly brave. That being said, I think the fact that this show was canceled by a man, not involving women in the process, demonstrates exactly how much further we have yet to go! I am tempted to say, let's us women, who frankly probably make up well over half of Amazon's clients, take a stand and force them to bring it back. Not sure I can be that strong to give up my Amazon Prime addiction (especially working full time with 2 kids under the age of 3 at home) but the women depicted in this show did more than that, risking their careers and challenging social norms. There is a great article in the Atlantic about the ramifications of the male dominated entertainment industry that goes far beyond entertainment. It just frankly stinks that women have to pretty much do everything now, and contribute so much not only to the economy, to art, to culture, and to their families and we cannot even get a second season of a great show about our triumphs as a group. Shame on you, Amazon. I thought we were cool.

This is an exceptional show, period. Despite the name of the show and the "cutsie" feel that is conveyed with the photos and trailers, it is actually a very serious drama about women's rights in the late 60's into the early 70's. And even better, the root of the story is true (yes, different characters, names, and fictional subplots, but the key elements are exactly what happened at Newsweek). Some might dismiss this as a cheap Mad-Men clone. Others might knock it as a silly comedy. But anyone stating those opinions has clearly not watched the show, as it is an outstanding original drama that stands tall among the best shows out there.And just a quick rant - Amazon decided to not renew this show for a 2nd season. The first season is a nicely wrapped story-arc and stands alone just fine, but there are so many other stories that could be told with this series. While drug use is depicted in the show, I think the decision makers at Amazon must also be partaking with the same recreational activities that were so popular during that era. Amazon - shame on you for such poor judgment in not renewing the show; it could have been a shining star in your portfolio ("Transparent" is an amazing show, but it isn't 2015 or 2016 any more; "Good Girls Revolt" could have been your next mega hit if promoted and supported properly).
