Stream: Good Girls Revolt

Over the holiday break I did a lot of streaming. Let's just say that Netflix and Amazon are running out of things to recommend to me, that is the level of consumption we're talking about. 

One of the best shows I watched was "Good Girls Revolt" on Amazon. Many people have heard of it not because they have watched, but because of an article titled "Good Girls Revolt Gets Canceled With No Women at the Table." It's true, Amazon has already canceled the show, but you should still watch it. 

The show is based on Lynn Povich's book, which shares the story of a sex discrimination lawsuit she and 45 other women filed against Newsweek in 1970. She later went on to become the first female Senior Editor in Newsweek's history. If you are interested in reading the book, you can get it on Amazon in paperback, hardcover or for your Kindle. 

In the show, the three main characters work for a magazine called News of the Week (see what they did there). They are researchers, each working directly for a male reporter. At a "consciousness meeting" they are introduced to an attorney from the ACLU who encourages them to sue the magazine for discrimination.

Good Girls Revolt

The lead character, Patti, is played by Genevieve Angelson. You may recognize her from the Rainn Wilson show "Backstrom" or her role on "House of Lies." Of all the women, Patti is the most hungry to become a reporter. Her desire to move up is complicated by the fact that she is dating the reporter she's assigned to, Doug. Doug is played by Hunter Parrish, a.k.a. Silas from "Weeds." I think he is one of the most handsome actors on the planet! That chiseled jaw! 

Good Girls Revolt

Patti works alongside Jane, a goody two-shoes who can't fathom upsetting the apple cart at work. At first, she isn't receptive to the idea of suing the magazine. She only wants to do things by the book. Jane is played by Anna Camp, best known as Aubrey from "Pitch Perfect." 

Good Girls Revolt

The third musketeer is Cindy, played by Erin Darke. This is her first big role. In "Good Girls Revolt" she plays a young woman in an unhappy marriage, who begins an affair with a co-worker. Of all the characters, I found Cindy's storyline the most cliché and predictable. 

There were a few actors in supporting roles who really stood out. Meryl Streep's daughter Grace Gummer plays Nora Ephron. She has some of the best lines in the series and really inspires the other women to demand what they deserve.

Good Girls Revolt

Joy Bryant, Jasmine from "Parenthood," plays the ACLU attorney. She is warm, but firm.

Of all the male characters, the one who leaves the strongest impressive is Finn, played by Chris Diamantopoulos. I give him major credit for not changing his last name when he became famous. I can't wait to watch Giuliana Rancic try to pronounce that on the red carpet someday.

Good Girls Revolt

Finn is News of the Week's managing editor. He trusts the women, but isn't quite ready to give them equitable treatment. The storylines around his relationships with his wife and daughters will be really relatable to anyone who had a parent who worked long hours. 

In addition to the great acting, one of the things that kept me most entertained was the costumes. Though 1970 was only 47 years ago, it feels like a lifetime when you notice the hair styles, the make up and the clothing. I kept watching to see what would happen next, but also to see what they'd be wearing next! 

If you have Amazon Prime you can stream all 10 episodes of "Good Girls Revolt" for free. I am not sure if it will get picked up by another network, but either way, it is definitely worth a watch.

An extreme good girl is aspired for the fulfillment of the goals for the humans. The nature of the filtration and edubirdie reviews is advanced under the size of the tools. The detail of the character is fixed for the fulfillment of the goals I life.
