Not only does The Bold Type merit those comparisons to Sex and the City and Younger], it courts them with intelligence and feeling. ... What puts everything across, even more than the likable performances and efficient storytelling, is the series’ understated authority. Without relinquishing the escapist pleasures that the audience wants, it convinces you that the people who make The Bold Type are grounding the story in lived reality, not just secondhand research.
-
The second-season storylines of The Bold Type cloak the brutal realities as well as subtler thorns concerning identity in the professional world in oh-so-stunning glamour. Kat, Jane and Sutton conspire and confide in each other in closets, yes, but the problems they discuss aren’t insubstantial. ... It’s inspiring as well as massive entertaining to see these series claim fashion, and critique it, in ways their predecessors did not dare to.

I came to this show to hoot at the motifs of its subgenre--the sham glamour of photo shoots, the cornball lines lobbed at pitch meetings--and stayed for its amiable exploration of self-discovery. The uplift of The Bold Type is disarming.
