"To watch The Bold Type is to both helplessly love it and to roll your eyes so hard you risk straining them," says Alissa Wilkinson. "Sometimes it feels incredibly aware of the world it exists in, particularly in episodes that reevaluate both the legacy of women’s magazines and the blind spots in the breeds of feminism they’ve typically promoted. And sometimes it seems to have veered off into the ozone." Last week's Season 3 finale, however, shows that the Freeform series is becoming serious about its setting in the media world.
