Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

kabuav 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.

Charles Herold (cherold) Good Girls Revolt is something I should like. The idea of watching women in a sexist environment realize they can fight back is intriguing, and I think that period in American history was pretty interesting.And yet, I was never drawn in. The only thing I really liked in the pilot was Nora Ephron as the lone feminist, but she is a minor character in the series.Mainly, I just found the series slow moving. These women are coming to their realizations very slowly. In a 2-hour movie you could focus entirely on women slowly becoming empowered, but that concept by itself isn't enough to fill out a series. I wish the series had taken more of an interest in the news stories being covered, which are treated as background noise. Just because you're making a series about feminism doesn't mean that has to be the show's single thread.Also, it's weird that the women keep describing Eleanor Holmes Norton as intimidating or scary. The real Norton quite possibly was, but the fictional version seems smart but not scary. Are these women just afraid of black people? Are they so timorous that even a mildly liberated woman scares them? Or does the mildness that pervades this series simply prevent it from creating a really intense character? I don't know, but it bugs me.Anyway, I watched four or five episodes and then gave up.

valleymelissa 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.

TxMike My wife and I watched all 10 episodes starting the day they became available on Amazon Prime, it took us about 5 days to complete the series. We had other watching to do!The first episode establishes the thrust of the show, a young Norah Ephron is hired to work for News of the Week magazine and when she is told she can only do research for the men writers, and she would get no chance to write herself, she quit.This gradually energizes the rest of the talented but stifled female staff of researchers, they want the opportunity to earn the better jobs, and the better salary that goes along with it. But the man in charge is an old-fashioned publisher and doesn't agree that women should get the chances.The girls eventually get advice from a lawyer who informs them that what the magazine is doing is illegal, works with them to file an EEOC complaint. Through all this there are relationship issues among the staff.What I like best is the reality of the work climate in the late 1960s and the early 1970s. It is the same time period I started my career and females really were held back. It was an issue that had to be overcome and eventually was. This show depicts that. The down side is all the build-up ends when the 10th episode ends, we have no clue what all the reactions were and what the resolution would be for the girls at News of the Week. Presumably there will be a season 2 that takes up where this one leaves off. My favorite is cute, almost 30 Genevieve Angelson as Patti Robinson who was the main driving force within the office. Anna Camp is good as Jane Hollander, bright and hard-working and at first not on-board until she is snubbed. Chris Diamantopoulos is good as Finn Woodhouse, the boss.
