Lost and Found - Good Girls (Netflix) - Episode 76
Shows where those who keep to the straight and narrow decide to (cough) break bad, have forever clicked on streaming platforms. Well, there’s just something deliciously dangerous about dropping regular folks into extraordinary situations where they must strive to survive, and the payoff just makes it worth the ride.
Today’s Lost and Found, the Netflix series Good Girls is just what you ordered. The show revolves around Beth, Ruby, and Annie, moms, and besties who’re each grappling with a certain financial crisis. Desperate and down on luck, the trio plot to rob a grocery store in a last-ditch effort to rise from their crippling situation. But while they manage to pull it off, they also inadvertently find themselves being sucked into the world of crime. Crossing a mafioso evidently leads to much friction as our mommy robbers are then blackmailed into committing various other crimes, which drives them to a point of no return.
Christina Hendricks as the charming Beth Boland is surely the star of this show. But she’s ably supported by her onscreen besties played by Mae Whitman and Retta. Manny Montana who plays the abominable crime lord Rio also manages his part effectively. It’s notable that his character often manages to channel intimidation through his body language alone.
Cheating husbands, money laundering schemes, and even a counterfeit currency operation are just some of the many themes that this show dabbles in. But this bittersweet dramedy thriller that's pulled through four seasons actually works for its unique premise – getting those trained in diaper duty and kitchen hacks to attempt serious heists. Their singular skill sets and approach may differ from hard-boiled criminals but their conviction to pull off the inconceivable makes this one worth a watch.
The series Good Girls is streaming on Netflix.
Well, that's the OTTplay Lost and Found for today, until the next time it's your host Nikhil signing out.
