When Good Girls ended its second season, Beth (Christina Hendricks) shot and killed crime boss Rio (Manny Montana) in front of FBI Agent Turner (James Lesure). Turner told her to run, and she did.
Tonight at 10p on NBC, it has been a few months after the shooting, and Beth, her sister, Annie (Mae Whitman), and Ruby (Retta) are ready to get back into the business of making money…illegally. They now have legitimate jobs, and their new occupations will help them get back into the biz. As with everything, Annie keeps screwing up, so Beth comes up with another way to get things done.
The fix cannot come soon enough because they all need money. No one more than Ruby. Her husband, Stanley (Reno Wilson), has a job that is making things awkward at home because it is the only one he can get after being arrested for the Good Girls’ crime. However, one of the people he works for taught me how perfect my gag reflex. Think you know what he does for a living now?
Anyways, the girls are finally ready to get back into action. What is the worst that can happen? Especially since Turner is back in the picture, and he is letting Beth know that he is still watching her.
Good Girls is a female-empowering show because it shows us that moms and housewives can still be bad. Plus, the chemistry between the three leads makes me wish I had friends like them. Who doesn’t need the money, even if it is counterfeit?
Good Girls is like Oceans 8, but much better and wittier.
