ashley-vendetta This show is excellent! Well written, beautiful concept, incredible cast, and very timely. This show is smart and funny, beautiful and inspiring all at the same time. It deals with so many important topics that are still relevant to this day. I watched every episode when it originally aired, and I've been waiting and hoping that Amazon would come to their senses and continue on with it, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Why drop this highly rated female-driven show that wasn't even given a chance? Amazon really dropped the ball on this one and missed out on an incredible opportunity.

christy-66858 I have totally underestimated Prime series! I was sick one day and totally caught up on my Tivo'd shows and decided to browse Prime series. I ended up binge watching all 10 episodes over two days. This show, story line adaptation and cast was AMAZING. I hope this gets picked up again.

ramair350 This is an exceptional show, period. Despite the name of the show and the "cutsie" feel that is conveyed with the photos and trailers, it is actually a very serious drama about women's rights in the late 60's into the early 70's. And even better, the root of the story is true (yes, different characters, names, and fictional subplots, but the key elements are exactly what happened at Newsweek). Some might dismiss this as a cheap Mad-Men clone. Others might knock it as a silly comedy. But anyone stating those opinions has clearly not watched the show, as it is an outstanding original drama that stands tall among the best shows out there.And just a quick rant - Amazon decided to not renew this show for a 2nd season. The first season is a nicely wrapped story-arc and stands alone just fine, but there are so many other stories that could be told with this series. While drug use is depicted in the show, I think the decision makers at Amazon must also be partaking with the same recreational activities that were so popular during that era. Amazon - shame on you for such poor judgment in not renewing the show; it could have been a shining star in your portfolio ("Transparent" is an amazing show, but it isn't 2015 or 2016 any more; "Good Girls Revolt" could have been your next mega hit if promoted and supported properly).

TxMike My wife and I watched all 10 episodes starting the day they became available on Amazon Prime, it took us about 5 days to complete the series. We had other watching to do!The first episode establishes the thrust of the show, a young Norah Ephron is hired to work for News of the Week magazine and when she is told she can only do research for the men writers, and she would get no chance to write herself, she quit.This gradually energizes the rest of the talented but stifled female staff of researchers, they want the opportunity to earn the better jobs, and the better salary that goes along with it. But the man in charge is an old-fashioned publisher and doesn't agree that women should get the chances.The girls eventually get advice from a lawyer who informs them that what the magazine is doing is illegal, works with them to file an EEOC complaint. Through all this there are relationship issues among the staff.What I like best is the reality of the work climate in the late 1960s and the early 1970s. It is the same time period I started my career and females really were held back. It was an issue that had to be overcome and eventually was. This show depicts that. The down side is all the build-up ends when the 10th episode ends, we have no clue what all the reactions were and what the resolution would be for the girls at News of the Week. Presumably there will be a season 2 that takes up where this one leaves off. My favorite is cute, almost 30 Genevieve Angelson as Patti Robinson who was the main driving force within the office. Anna Camp is good as Jane Hollander, bright and hard-working and at first not on-board until she is snubbed. Chris Diamantopoulos is good as Finn Woodhouse, the boss.
