Good Girls has been quietly challenging network TV's status quo
-
The NBC crime dramedy, which wraps its second season on Sunday, has a log line that wouldn't usually fit on network TV. "Complicated antiheroes, audacious plotting, and inventive camerawork don’t often live outside of cable and streaming, and yet Good Girls makes it work," says Shirley Li. She pints out that Season 2 was "not really gentle anymore—and much less network TV–friendly. The series is interested in showing not just the messy consequences of the women’s criminal actions, but also the difficulties they face trying to hold on to their moral center."
