cynche Why is there not a second season? The casting is genius, the acting flawless. I cared about the chracters and rooted for their cause. I learned quite a few things too about the period in time. Only great things to say!

bbhim-220-201080 All the women in the show shine, but every male character needs to be re-cast. At first I wondered if that was part of the show's shtick, but after 10 episodes, I'm convinced the casting directors were diligent to cast the women, and then didn't care who filled the male roles. I feel like the male characters are first-timers "acting" in a poorly written high school play, while the women were cast for a successful TV show. Fix the problem with the poor male actors (Doug's OK), and then you'll have a hit! The males are bringing down the quality of what could be a stellar show. It's hard not to compare the show to Mad Men, but that show was clearly about the men - but it also had a stellar female cast. I'm looking forward to future seasons - there is a lot of material and history to cover, and if done well, could be a 10-star show.

ElessarAndurilS Good Girls Revolt uses Season 1 to lay the foundation for what may be an excellent show. I'm rating it 9 stars based on the potential that the quality writing of season 1 established. A show set in 1969-70 about a group of woman using what was a new law requiring employers to provide equal opportunity to women that they provide men by filing a complaint with the equal opportunities officials with a pending lawsuit to force their employer should they not provide that opportunity willingly may be an old story, but this is the first show of this quality I have seen which tells the story in a fictional setting that very closely mirrors the reality of history. To some degree we may take this for granted today, but we didn't get here without a fight and this show documents that fight. If Season 1 is an indication I expect season 2 to be riveting. Ending on the press conference in which the filing is announced after season 1 captures how these women were taken for granted by being built into a process that had a ceiling built in at which women could rise no higher (the woman researched and wrote the copy printed, yet couldn't compile the final article published and get the byline). In many ways it reminds me of Mad Men in that it captures the state of society at that time very well (I'm old enough to remember much of it). Season 1 lets us get to know the characters and see how the system was built to exclude them. It also portrays the men as being oblivious to the fact that their process broke the law, something that I don't know if is true, but they do a good job of writing it such that you see that while they are quite aware of the process and its prohibiting women from being writers, they also don't give it any thought because that is simply the way it had always been. Well written, good young actors/actresses, and laying a foundation that took the time to convey what things were like for the many who watch who are not old enough to remember. I see this as being a show that has done a great job to this point and has the potential to go on to tell a great story as it is obvious that the women who filed this claim didn't really grasp the hornets nest they were stirring by filing this complaint. I have high hopes for the coming season, but they appear to have the right people in place to make this a quality show. I know I just finished season 1 and am ready for season 2 right now!

valleymelissa This show is incredible! The women of our history are an inspiration! I am sharing this show with everyone I meet. The story line is well thought out, the characters are people you can relate with, and their conflicts are believable. The history of the time period, the clothes, the art, the 'scene' is just awesome to see from an inside perspective. I love that every last detail is well thought out. The show inspires me to be a stronger women and work even harder, to honor those women who have come before me and fought for my rights. In particular, I love how the conflict between love and career for women is so eloquently and intimately examined. Really, the core of everything that we get to discover about life and who we really are as individuals. The excitement of pursuing your dreams. I highly recommend this show to any woman out there aspiring to do something great in her life right now.
