SERIES PREMIERE: This new NBC series is about three suburban women, beset by various problems and financial needs, who decided to team up and rob a local supermarket. And from there, when the local mob gets involved, they find themselves deeper and deeper into trouble, danger and lawlessness. Good Girls stars three positively delightful actresses: Christina Hendricks (Joan from Mad Men), Mae Whitman (Amber from Parenthood), and Retta (Donna on Parks and Recreation). But the tone of Good Girls is all over the place. It wants to be Breaking Bad in theory, but in practice it veers too wildly between what’s supposed to be actual, threatening menace and lighthearted women’s empowerment fun. For a full review, see Ed Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes.
