Love this show! It's a mashup of Desperate Housewives and Thelma & Louise. It's funny, yet thought provoking about how far you'd be willing to go to protect your family. A must see show!

I don't know what the critics are talking about. I love this show!! I wait for Monday to come around so I can watch. It taps into the "bad girl" excitement that is missing in the everyday life of being a mom. And Manny Montana...No explanation needed. I do wish he played a bigger role in the series. I'm hoping we see more and more of him. Ignore the critics and give this show a chance!

Action packed, quality tv show leaves you wanting more. Clean enough tv show to not make you feel dirty after watching it, but still an adult show with rich characters. Great writing that I could watch again and again on tv or in the cinema. Classic characters you want to see develop which remind me of Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul. I hope to see these Good Girls tv show characters develop and grow.

...it would be this show. Great storylines with promising development and shockingly convincing and easily likeable characters. As a 30-something housewife and mother of two, I utterly appreciate this show.

Addicted to Rio's sexy voice, his demeanor, and mysteriousness! I hope they will show his
back story!

Season one had me hooked up and the following season kept the bar high. But it should have ended there. Season 3 was a major letdown for me. I struggled watching the last episodes of the season and I m not even sure if I'll watch season 4. The characters have become so less likeable and the story is just not believable any more.

Good Girls has:
Good friends
Great suspense
Simmering sexual tension
Mad true love
Deep Mother's love
Good cops and wicked bad robbers
This show has it all, told in an an exciting way that keeps you hooked while you laugh and cry.
Hint: I was so caught up in the drama I binged this series in a day, the show should be leisurely enjoyed, a couple of episodes at time, with a good whiskey or bottle of red and some popcorn; Treat yo' self.

This is a review for both season 1 and season 2 of this show.
This show has both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness in its main characters. Early on, it seems like a worthwhile endevaour to follow the misadventures of these characters, to see what sort of crazy hijinks they get up to, but what plagues them by the of season 2 is the same feeling of staleness that most shows like these struggle with. If characters always get into trouble, then it's neither shocking nor interesting to see how they get out of it, cause you know from the start that they will and that they will inevitably get into more trouble later on.
So this is what I mean by the earlier sentiment. The characters start to feel like paper-cut outs of their earlier selves, where they are put into situations as opposed to naturally growing with the show. Add to this, a frustrating amount of storylines that disappear into nothingness, and you have a show that, while great at times, fails to really deliver on its promise.

When I heard about that show I didn't think I had any desire to watch something far-fetched and cheesy. It is neither. Christina Hendricks is amazing, definitely worth the watch, and Matthew Lillard is perfect for this role- just looking at him makes me want to punch him in the face. The younger sister can be annoying but that's the writers fault, and not a reflection of her acting ability. Retta is great and Reno Wilson, although his role is smaller, is perfect. Even the annoying grocery store manager (David Hornsby) is good because you like hating him. Alison Tolman is fun to hate too. All in all? I'm watching the first season for the second time with my husband who likes it too. As one who rarely enjoys free television, I encourage others to stick to original series on Netflix and HBO etc to give it a try. It's a cut above what the three networks usually offer.

The first two seasons were great.Third season is pure trash.
No development between the characters.Very slow pace and no action.The writers failed to find ideas to move forward.
Characters give the impression they don't have any emotions, they just roll with what is happening.
It was promising at the beginning but failed to reach its potential.

Season 4 is just absolutely awful so many unnecessary stupid story lines that amount to nothing (what was the point of that unbearable English therapist?? )
And the only thing more annoying than Retta (Ruby) is her useless husband Stan. The best thing about this show is Mammy Montana whose acting and looks are fantastic.

The first two seasons were great. Season three is simply bad. Not thought out, the characters and situations have become repetitive and annoying.

Unlike other reviewers, I absolutely love this show! The actors are marvelous, the premise is believable, and the comedy actually makes me laugh. I cannot wait for the next episode. How nice to see these dramatic actresses in a new vein. I've even recommended it to my girlfriend in Idaho. Guess I enjoy a difference of opinion then some of the others, but I will look forward to more of these ladies' capers.
This show is laugh out loud funny So nice to have a different type of show on TV We are hooked on this one.

There's some funny jokes but there's just so many moments where you facepalm & get so angry at their stupidity....

It started kinda fun but then it just became frustrating to the point I am pulling my hair. The girls keep making the same and worse mistakes again and again and again, again, again, again....
Nothing they do has any logic, they play gangsters and think this is a hobby they can switch on and off whenever they want to. They want to be criminals but then they also want to be nice people. They give in to blackmail, demands, extortion, being robbed and losing their money every week, people walking all over them etc.
All you see here is a bunch of stupid housewives that NEVER learn anything, especially from their own mistakes. Annie is probably the worse when it comes to stupid mistakes that has major repercussions, then Beth and then Ruby.
You can't possibly do what they do and still be alive. Way too lucky to get away with the stupid stuff they keep doing.
Rio is just amused by Beth, only reason she is still around. How bothersome can someone be before they get the axe? Obviously the series needs to keep going.
I am still watching it because I am hoping that they will get better. I am hoping for something smart in the end, a nice surprise. They just go in deeper and deeper without any commonsense, you go gangster it is for life.
Oh, and what happened to Boomer's phone and the bag... How did that happen? Or was it just a badly written twist?

I'm enjoying this show so much! It's nice to see everyday women forced to take on situations like this. The cast works well together. Very diverse, which makes it balanced. Hope to see it return for a second season.

So sad we won't get 5th season. We need it to tie loose ends. Beth & Rio deserved better. Chemistry between actors was out of this world!
