    The frenetic Girlboss is a frustrating but occasionally fun show that might be too enamored with its subject. ... I kept watching the series because of its charming cast. Robertson gives a totally committed performance and really shines in the few moments when the show slows to examine her character’s vulnerability.

    [Girlboss] devotes its early episodes to doing nothing more than proving that Sophia is a surly jerk. But once Sophia finally starts to let go of her self-defeating instincts and make things happen for herself and for Nasty Gal, Girlboss becomes a lot more interesting, and a lot more fun.

    Like most Netflix shows, Girlboss suffers from pacing problems, though thankfully the episodes are kept under 30 minutes. It gains steam in its latter half, but drags its feet on the way there, failing to find drama in desperate thrift-store searches.

    The drooling idiocy of these haters leaving 0 point reviews and whatnot is astounding. I just want one thing to be clear: television seriesThe drooling idiocy of these haters leaving 0 point reviews and whatnot is astounding. I just want one thing to be clear: television series are not about your political "cause". Feminazi's are hating on this show for not being feminist enough, when the entire thing was made by women, and it's based on a true story of an actual woman who actually became a CEO. Perhaps it's possible that there is a range of human experience, and cinematic storytelling is a reflection of that, and only that. If it doesn't hit your social justice G-spot, you can still appreciate it as a piece of enjoyable storytelling.

    The cinematography and lighting is on point, the writing is punchy, there are hilarious moments, it doesn't linger on any dramatic moments longer than it needs to, and it's FREE on netflix for your enjoyment.    … Full Review »

    I don't get all the hate! Yes, it's messy. Yes, she's selfish. Yes, the pace is erratic. I love all of these things. It's funny, and weird,I don't get all the hate! Yes, it's messy. Yes, she's selfish. Yes, the pace is erratic. I love all of these things. It's funny, and weird, and I couldn't love Annie more. This show makes me feel the way I think Girls wanted me to feel, but I could never quite get there. It's warmer and makes me less angry at my generation. Give it a shot.… Full Review »

    After about 3 episodes, I still didn't find the main character and the ones surrounding her interesting.
    The show wants her to be cute and    After about 3 episodes, I still didn't find the main character and the ones surrounding her interesting.
    The show wants her to be cute and charming with a devil-may-care attitude, but that was all lost on me, especially because the writers didn't bother to flesh out her character any further.
    So, I didn't feel any spark in that respect and I found it all rather tedious.
    That leads you to wondering, why all those people around her think she's great and help her without getting anything in return.

    Ah well...nevermind.
    Give it a try, if you must. It's not worth my time, however.    … Full Review »
