Title: Good Girls Revolt
Review: Despite the hokey title, this is a surprisingly well done look at a major American news magazine in the late 60s (sounds like News week), in which the struggle between sixties cultural and sexual freedom butts up against the demons of woman’s rights restrictions and inherent racism. The cast is good, the music is great, the costuming is superb. I thought the show really captured the transition vibe of the 60s moving into the 70s and the age of Aquarius becoming more the age of complex adulthood. Lots of historically accurate figures mixed in with the storytelling and the portrayal of the major events of the times are well explored. Liked it a lot.
