Is anyone watching Good Girls Revolt?

I am completely obsessed with this show right now. We're in episode 7 I think. 

And I've decided the late 60s/early 70s is my spirit animal in terms of music. There is no official soundtrack out yet, but one of the actresses put together a soundtrack on Amazon and I have been grooving to the music for the past couple hours.

If you aren't watching the show, it's on Amazon and is fantastic! It's based on the true story of women working at Newsweek who bring a lawsuit against gender discrimination because women weren't allowed to be reporters.

It's on my watchlist, but glad to know its good.

I'm watching episode 10 right now. I've been mesmerized.

Yes, I watched all the episodes last week when I was waiting for The Crown to start. It was fantastic! I'm watching Mad Men now because I heard it was similar. I really hope they have a Season 2.

I think I'm on episode 6 now. It's fantastic and I agree the music is amazing.

Episode 9 killed me. I cried at the end.

If you have Amazon Prime, I think the show put together playlists for the theee main girls- Jane, Patti, and Cindy.

I'm thinking about rewatching it this weekend. I know I missed a lot.

Haven't seen it yet but it's on my watchlist too. I'll have to bump it up.

I finished it last week. I really enjoyed it. I think everyone in it did a fabulous job in their respective roles. I hope it's picked up for another season.

I love this show so much. I have two episodes left and I'll be so sad when it's over.

I am watching since you made this post.

Cindy is an important character for me.

I have been binge watching when I can and I'm obsessed. I really dig Cindy's storyline.

I have more to say but don't want to slip in a spoiler so I'll just encourage everyone to watch it!

I just started this the other day and I'm on episode 4. I LOVE this show so far.

Thanks for this. I have done a bit of a binge. This show is fabulous and quite timely.

I just finished the season. No spoilers.

There are really two stories going on here, the surface, women's rights in the workplace, and the hidden, the line-crossing casual/sexual relationships. Without question, the surface is important and significant, but I think the hidden may be undercutting the value of the surface, and actually be sexist in its tone, OR perhaps it's a way to show women in conflict, that both their intimate and workplace relationships with men don't serve to elevate and respect them, perhaps it's ultimately an anti-male argument. I'm not sure, I'm still considering the show.

This show is a mix between Mad Men and Pan Am. It's retro, period, highly sexualized. I know this show would be dry without the sex scenes, but like I said, I wonder if those scenes promote a retro viewpoint of relationships, although I guess they aren't romanticizing them, the show is ultimately mostly critical of the relationships. Still mulling.

I really enjoyed the show. But there were so many times I wanted to grab Patty by the shoulders and just shake her.
