    All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

    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.

    Beautifully drawn and especially evolving characters, authentic atmosphere, a strong story line in addition to smaller everyday stories - all this is "Good Girls Revolt". We learn more and more about the people and the time at the end of the 60s and early 70s. The characters clearly show the development. All the actors are outstanding - I could not find a weak cast.Even though the main plot is women's revolution in the direction of equality (especially in the New York editorial staff of the magazine "News of the Week"), one can, fortunately, discover much more. It is about many questions that still move us today, such as: interest in political and social developments and problems, importance of the news, work or home as fulfillment, work ethos, solidarity or even sexual liberation. All this is shown by different characters - "Good Girls Revolt" does not offer black-and-white and is not a series exclusively for women! The exciting thing about it is that we can always compare our present society image with the presented one, find differences, but also similarities.The comparison to the series "Mad Men", which I also loved, lies close to the comparable time, but is nevertheless distant: The atmospherics, the inner conflict, sadness, despair and helplessness of the Don Draper stood in the foreground, was rather fascinating timeless, less explanatory and concrete in time. "Good Girls Revolt", on the other hand, distinguishes different, tangible, ground-level people, whose motivations, developments and actions are clearly more comprehensible, and works out the time reference vividly. I would have liked a few stronger and clearly drawn male figures, they remain somewhat pale in comparison to the women. But they, too, can not be typed as women's adversaries, and they are more likely to be seen in the sense of equality as thoughtless (interesting: the most impressed in the old roles is a woman, the publisher!). That Amazon Studios would not want to continue the series (it was read) is incredibly unfortunate and unintelligible!

    Honestly one of the best shows I've watched in a very long time. It combines talking about important issues, with great characters and interesting story lines so well. It's empowering, but also enjoyable to watch, making it a must see for everyone! The characters are flawed, realistic, and so relatable, and the stories told succeed in drawing you in. The main focus of his show is about women's fight to have equal rights in many arenas, but primarily in the work place, and we see different characters react to this fight in many different ways. It isn't, however, focused solely on this and viewers get transported back to Harlem and have an insight into the black panther movement, as well as experiencing various other aspects of the counterculture of the 1960s such as free love, the use of psychoactive drugs and the increased resistance against the Vietnam war. Significant praise has to be given to the actors in this show, the three main women, played by Genevieve Angelson, Anna Camp and Erin Drake are wonderful, and are supported by an also incredible cast. Other notable performances are that of Reggie Watkins as leader of the black panther party, and Joy Bryant and Grace Gummer portraying the real life characters of Eleanor Holmes Norton and Nora Ephron.

    This show is incredible! The women of our history are an inspiration! I am sharing this show with everyone I meet. The story line is well thought out, the characters are people you can relate with, and their conflicts are believable. The history of the time period, the clothes, the art, the 'scene' is just awesome to see from an inside perspective. I love that every last detail is well thought out. The show inspires me to be a stronger women and work even harder, to honor those women who have come before me and fought for my rights. In particular, I love how the conflict between love and career for women is so eloquently and intimately examined. Really, the core of everything that we get to discover about life and who we really are as individuals. The excitement of pursuing your dreams. I highly recommend this show to any woman out there aspiring to do something great in her life right now.
