Why is there such a buzz about..?

Good Girls (Netflix) Harassed mother-of-four Beth (Christina Hendricks) is ‘like a Stepford mom without a pulse’, according to her younger sister Annie (Mae Whitman), a single mum who needs a lawyer because her ex wants custody of their daughter.

When Beth discovers her idiot car-salesman husband is having an affair and has run up huge debts, she has finally had enough of just letting things happen to her and decides to rob a supermarket.

Along with Annie, she ropes in her best friend, Ruby (Retta, pictured right with Hendricks and Whitman), whose daughter is ill and needs expensive medicine. If the three do just one armed robbery, Beth argues, she gets to save her family, Annie can win her custody battle and Ruby can buy the drugs she needs for her kid, ‘…and we’re done. We never do it again.’

Of course, keen students of TV will know that it’s never over after just one heist. The novice armed robbers’ haul is much bigger than they expected – half a million dollars – because the store was laundering money for some very bad guys. And the bad guys want their money back. So the trio can’t yet hang up their masks, and before long they are good girls gone bad and deep into a life of crime.

Preposterous? Definitely, but it’s also witty, and the superb chemistry between the three leads makes this a hit show – a comedic Ozark meets Breaking Bad. You can binge watch series 1-3 now and a fourth run has just been commissioned.
