    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.

    The 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.

    A lot of people I know hated this series, but something about it really entertained me. I thought it was funny, uplifting and cute. Okay, some episodes were a little bit dull, but it was the first season! I don't think Girlboss deserves all the hate and I would have loved to see a second season -- but yeah, I guess that's just me.

    [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.

    For all of Girlboss‘ bluster, the real problem isn’t that Sophia is unlikeable, it’s that she’s uninteresting. Hardly fleshed out beyond a line drawing of a devil-may-care rebel who hardly blinks at the idea of raiding a dead woman’s closet for vintage goodies, she’s a terribly wobbly center for an already uncentered show.

    It never realizes that perpetual adolescence is the show’s problem, not hers. Sophia needs reason to change for the series to develop, and Girlboss is far too content watching the business grow instead of its star.
