GIRLBOSS Netflix Review | TV

Recently I finished watching Girlboss, the Netflix TV series adaptation of the best selling book, Girlboss by Sophia Amoruso.

I have never read the book, however knew a little about it from reading various opinions on different blogs, however I was interested in the show because it's supporting online businesses which at the time were different and it's female led as it's written by Kay Cannon who has also wrote Pitch Perfect, and produced by Charlize Theron's production company which I thought was very cool indeed.

Unfortunately, I didn't like this series. I forced myself to watch it through to the end, and once I did finish it I was more happy that I had got through it rather than thinking how good it was...which is annoying because the final episode actually has some of the best moments.

The main reason I didn't like the show was Sophia. I know there's been some reviews where it's like she's a mean person and people don't get it, but I totally do get it. She is a mean person and I don't see her grow out of that or even learn her lessons, which makes her not very likeable. There's some TV characters which are selfish that I absolutely love, Hannah Horvath from Girls, Rachel Berry from Glee, Piper Chapman from Orange is the new black to name a few. The main reasons those end up being likeable is because they are called out for being selfish and mean, and learn from it. Sophia goes from episode 1-13 without really changing and her friends don't call her out on it once. It really bugged me and really made the show disappointing.

That being said, I think some parts of the series were done fantastically. In the final episode, there's receptive music when Sophia remembers something and thats really well done, the changes in mirror scenes when she sees how an outfit could look is cool and there's probably the best online forum representation that I've seen (it's probably a niche thing to see that often anyway).

It's been announced that the show has also been cancelled by Netflix and won't be returning for a second season. It's always disappointing for a show to be cancelled, especially with the reasoning basically being they want more quantity on their platform, however I don't think this one will be a huge loss. If you are interested in fashion, the online community or have read the book then you'd probably be interested in this series, but for me it's not one I'd recommend first.

Have you watched Girlboss? What did you think?

Goodbye Girls | TV

I may be deflowered but I am not devalued. – Shoshanna

A couple of weeks ago now, one of my favourite TV shows ended. After 6 seasons of brilliant and amazing tele it's all over and I'm so sad that it's over.

Girls was never an easy watch, most times it was awkward, brutal and uncomfortable, however the root of all of those feelings was because Girls was probably one of the most realistic shows out there. It showed 4 women of this current generation living in New York, and it showed them in the most realistic way possible. They were selfish, self centred, sickeningly optimistic of what they could achieve and then when they couldn't achieve that, they wrote about it or brought any situation back to themselves. It makes you think why would you watch something like this, and deep down it's because we are all partly like these characters in some way.

Each relationship in Girls was so incredibly raw, the most obvious being Hannah and Adam's, which is throughout the show and made me absolutely adore Adam Driver, who is an amazing actor. He really turned it round throughout the seasons and made this hard to like character who is a bit odd and eccentric one of the most adorable and sweet characters.

The other main relationship being the four girls, and how their relationships break down when they find new men and the arguments they share. In episode 9 of the final season, you can see how much each character has grown and become a more real version of themselves, and sometimes this means not having the same friends as you did 6 seasons ago, however no matter what that history was always there even if each person is now dancing to their own rhythm.

One thing Girls will definitely remembered for is the main character, Hannah Horvath. Lena Dunham has created an absolutely amazing character in Hannah, and I relate a lot with her. That's not always a good thing, because everyone says how incredibly selfish Hannah is and most of the time she's not a good person, however I find parts of myself in her and it's amazing to watch. Hannah gave me so much more self awareness of myself, of how much you weigh and the confidence to wear cute playsuits and crop tops because they look cute af and who says you can't wear them. Hannah just wants to be a writer at the end of the day, something which I've always aspired to be.

I am really going to miss watching Girls. It's something I will definitely rewatch in a few years and I will definitely be waiting to see what is next for Lena Dunham. In the mean time, if you haven't given Girls a watch I would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

Have you watched Girls? What did you think?
