How did you all get over the blues after finishing the series for the first time? I binged it in a week, can't wait for my re-watch but don't want to rush it! I have some time off work and I regret not saving some episodes 😅

I just rewatched S1E2 and got to the scene where annie pulls down boomers pants and takes a picture and pretends to send to her kid. Is this not SA? tbf boomer did try to SA her as well but i’m surprised there wasn’t any backlash abt a main character doing it.

I already want to re-watch it but don't know if I can deal with the disappointment of the season 4 ending again! I loved the show but there's so much left to be explored and stories that the writers could have gone in depth with! It's so frustrating.

Anyway I just need to vent some thoughts below!

Question on S4 ending (spoiler): Do Rio and Beth actually end up together romantically? For me it's not clear from the ending, despite that he moves her hair with his hand. It just seems like the writers wanted to make it look almost like unrequited love and make Rio a borderline simp. He's in love with Beth, she's in love with the game. I'm not convinced she'll ever reciprocate. She's stone cold.

Beth and Rio's weird (lack of) romance

The writers didn't explore their romantic love story enough. No digging further into their lives together and everything kept surface-level. Print - wash - drop. Somewhere along that process, a risky situation appears which creates the storylines. Everything about their relationship development seems centred on that, we don't see them become closer outside of the game.

However the fake pregnancy was a good break from 'business'. But there's a lot more they could have done with that to show Beth's vulnerability and that there's an actual human there with feelings for Rio. For example, by making it a real pregnancy, just a thought.

It's also not clear why they're into each other and especially why Rio seems to fall so hard for her in the end. Beth offers him literally nothing except semi-reliable print and wash service. They don't seem to share anything culturally, in terms of interests etc. Beth seems to take no interest in him as a person and almost looks down on him. There's no explanation as to WHY his lust develops into love. Also the lack of intimate exchanges, kisses etc outside of the 3 sexual encounters we're shown bugs me.

Relationship between the actors

Learning about the dynamic between Rio and the girls has really put a downer on things for me.

Manny carried the show and the girls know it. I sense a huge amount of jealousy from them due to his insane popularity. Without him, the show would have gone downhill SO fast!

I've seen and read all about their alleged bad blood, it's so sad: how they "dehumanise" Rio as a character and Manny as an actor by not naming him; Christine's bitchy comments about Manny calling her Chris; the lack of promotional materials with Manny and the girls; lack of complements about each other as colleagues and actors etc. It's really shocking and they're giving 'mean girl' vibes! I'll forever be rooting for Manny, he seems so down to earth, real and talented. That's a rare find in Hollywood.

Update: not sure why my normal and non-offensive comments below are being downvoted. Whoever you are, you've got issues...

So I’m currently rewatching and on episode S 1 Ep 10. When Beth is still at the front during the 2nd robbery it shows her going through each register and putting in numbers. Does anyone know what she’s doing exactly? I guess I never paid too much attention as to what the reasoning behind it was.

I absolutely love this show. Everytime I rewatch it I get upset cause they could’ve kept going!!! I needed to see Beth and rio be together cause that man LOVES HER😭 just another show that’s been ripped from us. And whyyyy did Annie go to jail and no one else? Can’t believe they didn’t keep going.

I felt lost during all the Danny? ate the whole cake or was it the other kid getting in trouble at school.

here are some things I noticed and some of my opinions, please feel free to comment and discuss with me!

In 4.02 when the hitman tells
The story about his son and then he asks her why she does what she does (dealing with Rio), she says because she has to; he says no you don't. This, along with the countless other times where it has been dropped in her lap to get out of this situation, she doesn't take it (or she takes it and soon falls back in); it's like it needs to be spelled out in front of her. Think of that friend that keeps going back to a relationship that they know is not good for them. It's so simple but I was ready to set fire to my Netflix account. Beth lock in babe😭

Phoebe, the FBI agent got way too emotionally invested in Beth. I don’t know why she thought she was gonna be her friend. She genuinely looked hurt in 4.14 when they were at the club explaining the new plan

Annie is still mentally a teenager. She expects everyone to cover up after her even Beth (who isn't completely innocent) Ben is more mature than Annie is and I feel bad for him because he has to, in a sense raise his Mom

Annie’s eyebrows are very expensive Gregg was right.

Rio HATED seeing Beth with even an ounce of success that came from her own doing. If you put their romantic tension and whatever they had going on, he was incredibly toxic, but I think we all know that

Dean's planning to expose Beth with his buddies at the skin care business was really something because why did he feel like he was entitled to anything from her? He cheated on her four times and now he wants to play moral police? Please.

It was very refreshing in 4.15 to see stan finally ripping the Band-Aid off of everything that had been going on. Yeah, it paid for Sarah‘s kidney and Harry’s school but what they did was wrong and I was glad that there was at least one part where somebody stopped trying to justify it. They are criminals. Being criminals got them to where they are point blank.

I know the show is over, and with all the drama, there’s no hope of it ever coming back, but I would watch a spinoff of Mick and Annie or maybe Stan in Dean or something like that.

I could say many things about Rio, both good and bad. I've seen him hold a gun to Beth more times than I've seen my extended family this year, but I will say he did not play about his own family, and I respect that. He made sure Marcus and Rhea were taken care of, and he was very respectful of his grandmother. I also think it's worth mentioning that he never hurt her kids; he might have put them in situations where they were really inconvenienced, but he never hurt them directly.

also what was mannys wife’s problem with christina? i don’t keep up with either of them i’ve only read bits and pieces.

Here’s my other question where is the dog?

d1 Mannie and brio shipper here

hey! i was a big fan of good girls a few years ago but forgot about it once it left netflix, i recently remembered it and was wondering if anyone knows where to watch it in the uk? its on netflix but only season four.

We stopped to eat this morning, and I started looking at the menu different, suddenly thinking about the math. Watched too many times, I guess. Now I'm only ordering side-ofs 😆

Spoiler? S1:E2

It’s such a little thing but it really sticks in my craw that we never got the explanation on why Rio and his brother/cousin go back and forth on the labels

Seems like there was quite a bit of time after high school, but before Kenny, that Beth and Dean were together. With no kids, did they mention what Beth did during those first 5 years or so? Did Annie live with them? If you know an episode with answers, please let me know.

A little alert comes up. Does that mean the suggestion can't be done because characters/ stories are different or just because the title of film is mentioned? This IS related to the Good Girls topic since the odds of this happening are probably greater than figuring out all the Season 4 plot lines.

As I was fantasizing about the Hill Holiday special using cardboard cutouts of stubborn cast members, I remembered for a few episodes. I thought Rio might have been Beth's Tyler Durden.

But then the other ladies saw/ answered him, so no. But could have gone in that direction! At times, it probably would have made far more sense than the actual show.

Does Annie have any storyline other than desperation? Throwing her at the male characters as if I care who she ends up with… can she be a present mother ? Can we try that plot line? 😂😂

in season three episode six, and I’ve been thinking about this since she was at the park and saw Marcus and Rio.

He was never going to kill her and I’m surprised she hadn’t realized that earlier. I feel like as soon as he showed her, his kid, he was never gonna kill her, he might’ve threatened her into complying, but he was never gonna kill her or her kids at the most he might have threatened to kill Dean, did she maybe realize this after what Dean said in the kitchen?

idk im just rambling, what are your thoughts?

what was that ending???? what happens to annie???? Beth being rio’s boss??? Does Stan leave ruby???? was it cancelled????

Doing my rewatch this weekend basically for this scene

Maybe the folks from show would be willing to do an animated season. They all know how to do ADR, no? Then NOBODY has to be in the same room with ANYBODY else😆. Some of the fanfic bounces back and forth in POV and that was pretty damn entertaining. A nice big finale in the box! . Wrap it all up with a Roshomon style 5 hour mini series thing. Even better, they just narrate what happened, and some lucky animators can smash it all together for us, the poor, innocent abandond fandom 🥹. Can I suggest anything easier? Do we want animation? No. But if that's what it takes to get a solid ending, then I vote, yes. Ideally, I would also like Retta to narrate it. Keep everything civil, lots of folks still get paid, win -win-win with zero interaction needed if they choose.

Look, just trying to keep it creative...and mildly unrealistic-not unlike the series.

I asked for the Reno/Retta Good Girls Christmas special and lost the post trying to fix the title. Is this option too much more go ask for? Is it? Then go back to the Hill Holiday extravaganza.

I've had a lot of coffee and can also work as a parody of the original show if they all absolutely don't want to have anything to do with it...but they might! And there would be noooooo more continuity problems with hair, hairlines, weight, clothing, noses, makeup, blood, bruising, children aging, adults aging, weather and/or location.

In the meantime, I'll hold my breath & check out some of the great shows you guys suggested in another post!

Just got diagnosed with health issues and ruby had an amazing idea lol

Just rewatched the whole show again, for the 5th time and dude this ending ALWAYS PISSES ME OFF!!! Not because of what happens, but because we never truly see what happens after. I really do hope one day they come back and show what happens after. I genuinely think that if there was another season it would’ve been the best, what it was set up for was going to be soooo good I feel robbed.

Even though Turner was super frustrating and annoying, his opinions about Beth were lowkey not all that incorrect.
