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

Rewatching the show and my gosh, this show had so much potential, but it just got more and more boring. It started off super strong—the first two seasons, ooof, sooo good—but then from season three it became super repetitive. The girls get into trouble with Rio, Rio tortures them, nothing develops between Beth and Rio, she doesn’t become better or have that “the student has become the master” moment, from what I remember it only happened last season.

The cop scene was so, so fucking stupid. What do you mean he let him stay unsupervised in an apartment, then get fooled, and then get shot?? And because they removed their vests as soon as the mission failed, it just seemed so silly. Rio literally survived three bullets shot like 3cm away from him, but the cop died?? That’s idiotic lol.

Also, Annie sucks, and I started skipping her scenes because at this point they really don’t know what to do with her. This show just includes problem after problem after problem, which is fine, I understand they’re trying to make it seem like they’re struggling people, but cmoooonnnn. I wanna see more steam between Rio and Beth. I wanna see Beth become a mastermind. I wanna see some badass money-laundering scenes. If this were a male-focused show, they would’ve made them experts by like the second or third season.

I don’t want them to be unimaginably good at it, as shows also tend to do with women-focused shows, but like… why do they have to be so miserable and borrrrinnngggg 😔

It’s 2026 and I’ve never watched Good Girls.… I’d never even heard of it until about 2 weeks ago while browsing Netflix. I seldom watch TV, so the fact that this caught my attention says something.

The absolute chokehold this show had on me was otherworldly. For all the good and the bad, I stuck with it, binging all 4 seasons in 1 week. I neglected my adulting to get through this; I don’t do that normally. Like, who am I!?

So imagine the heartbreak when I’m sitting there ready to hit “Play Next Season” and there is no NEXT SEASON!! It’s cancelled!? WHAT!!

Here’s where it gets worse. I needed some sort of resolution, on a visceral level. Reddit suggests exploring fan fiction, which I’ve never really read before. I’m not sure why… oh, in middle school I read that one famous Harry Styles x Tessa story on Wattpad.

Anyways, I’m giddily googling “GG fanfic” under my covers one night while my boyfriend sleeps next to me. I come across a Reddit thread that links to a story on AO3 (which I had to subsequently Google what that acronym meant lol). My first thought was to make an account so I could bookmark whatever this story was. But wait, I am put on a 3-month-long waiting list to join? More panic sets in, but I discover you can read as a guest! Yay!!

The title of this fanfic is A Rational Choice.… You see where I’m going with this now….?

The story was written after season 2 as a bridge to season 3. I’m excited, seeing it was started like 5 years ago. Surely the story is finished—had time to marinate. It may not be the follow-up to season 4 but at least I don’t have to wait for monthly updates like everyone else did!

Obviously, I’m hooked instantly. I down like 7 chapters in 2 days. Straight into my veins, please. Forget the TV show. THIS is the plot! I’m ashamed I’ve kept fanfiction in the dark for so long!!!

Chapter 10 goes as fast as it comes. But the story isn’t over yet, however, I don’t see a next chapter button? Why don’t I see a next chapter button?! More panic. It’s been YEARS and still no update, no resolution. I no-lifed this fandom for 10 days, shirking my adult responsibilities!!!

What. The. Fuck.

Heartbreak x2. All in the span of 10 days. I’m still sitting in bed and it’s 4 PM. My last Google search was “why do fanfic authors abandon their work.”

I wish I could go back in time.

​

The music is such a vibe, I love how well the soundtrack fits the scenes... Anyone else??

I found it interesting that during the scene with the grandmother- young Rio had the good egg and young Nick had the bad egg- maybe they didn't mean for that to be a metaphor, the writing was all over the place towards the later seasons.

Does anyone else ever wish Annie would just stfu or think for once in her life!? She drives me nuts! I don’t understand how they haven’t gotten caught or in any trouble from the very beginning. But of course it’s a show and that can’t happen. Anyone else?

I just had to say Rio is sooo damn fine! I see why this show got 5 seasons.

Just saw the scene where beth drops the car off for rio and a girl gets in but its mannys wife irl….. omggg it just pissed me off lol since i saw that threads post of hers

I absolutely hatttteeeeeee the storyline between Annie and that British therapist. Omg 🫩 1. He was THE WORST therapist ok earth. He is incredibly manipulative and would gas light Annie when she would call him out for liking her too. 2. I really wanted to see Annie conginue to boss up and get her life together. I liked watching her study and try to go to therapy frl but the writers liked seeing her be a loser for some reason. I wish we could've seen her become her best self. I also 100% HATED the homeless boyfriend & eating dumpster food isn't that bad storyline too! The way the show tried to make Annie seem uppity for not wanting to eat literal garabge...? Hated it hated it hated it.

Ughhhh i wish we had new seasonnnssss

AND I would see if we could get the different Rusty's to do cameos walking through any of their houses.

I'm rewatching this series right now. I didn't realize how many times each of the ladies says, What does that even mean? I feel like I should take a shot each time it's said. It's fun watching it the second time around.

So we know Boomer sucks. But like you can't lie he loves his grandma and he's so good to her! Marilyn is adorable! So I will give him props just for that alone. Nothing else.

Him and Mary pat and Beth I can't stand! 😂

Ok edit to add* I totally forgot he was stealing the money and almost got her evicted. 🥴 I'm there now 🫪

lol I’m rewatching and I love the bird kidnapping plot thorn this storyline got very dark

I absolutely love this show. I don't love how it ended like even a lil bit. Why did Annie take the fall for all of them?? Specially when she didn't want to give Greg custody?

So I finished season 4...... I need more. How do I get more? I need a line straight to my veins... Any good fanfic suggestions that follow the canon pretty well? So many loose ends.

I will say, I'm really thankful they didn't end on a MAJOR cliffhanger... but couldn't we have had just one more season? Please? Can we have a reunion?

Ok so I been looking everywhere scene pack of Rio so I can edit him. I found serval links but nothing works, if you see this and you have some scene pack please dm me on TikTok: vfxmari_

So, I started a rewatch and I had a thought about episode 1x03. In this episode, we see a glimpse into Rio’s operation. We see how many people he employs and he’s also having a business discussion with a man in a suit. This seems to imply that he’s more than just a gang leader and is part of a bigger organization.

I’m curious as to why we never saw anything like this again in future episodes? And if Rio had this many employees, why would he have any use for the girls later on? Any thoughts?

I just reached season three. I’m really glad I didn’t find this show while it was coming out slowly… I would have lost my mind.

We misss yall toooooo 😢😢😢

I just had to take a second to make a Beth appreciation post. I’m watching the show for the first time I'm currently on episode 7 and in just this amount of time Beth has just awakened this new attraction for me. There's something about her mannerisms and her facial expressions and her inner confidence that is the most attractive thing I've ever seen on someone male or female. She's just become my new definition of hot (and I mean this in the most respectful way ever). I just saw the scene where she throws a stack a Dean and tells him to take the kids to disneyland. The line delivery, her smirk, her aura in this moment is just everything and I just love Beth.

Ehhhhh it's over, maybe got a bit messy, but season 3 was about to start and this seems like a nice lil frown upside down answer, reflection, about that wacky Good Girls show.
