Viewers are all saying the same thing about a popular Netflix show with a star-studded cast, and if you’ve watched it, you know why—it’s absolutely hilarious.
The comedy series, which aired from 2018 to 2021 and ran for four seasons with 50 episodes, stars Retta (best known as Donna Meagle from Parks and Recreation), Mae Whitman (who you might remember from The Perks of Being a Wallflower), and Christina Hendricks (forever Joan Harris in Mad Men).
This crime comedy has earned an impressive 7.7 rating on IMDb, a high score for any TV series, let alone a comedy.
So, what’s the show that people just can’t stop talking about? Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Good Girls.
The premise speaks for itself. The series follows three suburban mothers who find themselves in desperate situations and decide to take control of their lives—by breaking the law. These loving moms stop playing it safe, and their journey into crime is filled with hilarious moments. In one scene, they rob a store where Annie Marks works, and comically, they all wear dishwashing gloves during the heist. But after the robbery, things get much more serious.
Despite being nominated for a Satellite Award for its final season, the show was unexpectedly canceled, disappointing many loyal fans.
Some of those fans took to Facebook to share their love for the series on the Netflix Bangers page. One user exclaimed, “This will always be the best series!!!” Another added, “Yesssss, I’ve rewatched that so many times.” And a third agreed, writing, “Yes!!!!!! One of the best shows on Netflix. Try Workin’ Moms.”
The comments kept pouring in, but it was clear that fans were frustrated with NBC’s decision to cancel the show, especially when a fifth season seemed likely. One fan warned, “Yes! You’ll be pissed off when it’s over though lol.” Another shared, “Absolutely my favorite series on Netflix, wish there were more seasons.” And a third chimed in, “THAT’S A DEFINITE YES!! Best series, hate that they cancelled it!”
While the reason for NBC pulling the plug remains unclear, some speculated it was due to a pay dispute involving Manny Montana, who played Rio. However, film critics have suggested he may have been unfairly used as a scapegoat.
