Season 1 Review:
“The Girlfriend” is exactly the kind of psychological and soapy binge to kick off the fall TV season, easily devoured in one indulgent sitting with a cheeky drink and lots of yelling at the screen. The twists vary in actual shock value, but the tension provides enough of a hook to follow this warped love story to its conclusion.

Season 1 Review:
It’s breathless stuff, with a hyper-realistic feel that makes it more compelling than sinister. And while there’s a smattering of class commentary and occasional attempts at deeper meaning, this is a drama that should be enjoyed for what is: a rollercoaster of fun and games.

Season 1 Review:
This refusal to take itself too seriously helps to insulate some of The Girlfriend‘s craziest turns. You don’t have to pretend there’s anything “realistic” or “relatable” about the ways these people are behaving, or that there’s some greater lesson to be found here. You just have to be in the mood for something a little bit silly, and a little bit nasty.

Season 1 Review:
We’re still not sure if The Girlfriend is going to be a taut, gripping thriller or just make us roll our eyes so much that they get tired. But the first episode shows enough promise, and makes viewers ask enough questions about both of its main characters, to keep us watching.

Season 1 Review:
The increasingly outlandish actions of our leads do keep things light, lean, and moving swiftly along, a plus when the mystery has largely been removed from the narrative. And while most thrill seekers might disapprove of the lack of startling twists and turns throughout the show’s six installments, The Girlfriend finds ripe drama in the interpersonal, offering up fruitful things to say about perspective, prejudice, and possessiveness.
