However the successful robbery attracts attention from not just the police - and soon the women are pulled deep into the world of crime and will need each other to get out.Ī mix of Desperate Housewives and Widows, Good Girls isn't exactly known for having the most believable plot - but this is more than made up for by strong performances from the three leading ladies: Mad Men's Chistina Hendricks, Park and Rec's Retta and Arrested Development's Mae Whitman. The show follows three suburban mothers struggling to make ends meet, who get tired of playing by the rules and decide to rob the local supermarket. – Daniel Furn Good GirlsĬriminally underappreciated, Good Girls has only recently started getting the acclaim it deserves after years of struggling in the ratings in the US. There's a reason why Seinfeld's arrival on Netflix is making headlines all these years later - if you want to see the inspiration behind much of modern comedy, look no further than Seinfeld.
The show was also groundbreakingly meta before it was all the rage, with a memorable season four storyline seeing Jerry pitch a sitcom series about himself. Rightfully so - Seinfeld pushed several boundaries during its run, eschewing a predictable romance storyline and instead refusing to let the characters grow or evoke sympathy, ensuring that the painfully awkward humour could continue.
Lasting for a whopping nine seasons and 180 episodes - including one of the most-watched finales in history - Seinfeld has gone beyond being simply a TV show and is now a pop culture icon, with many of the show's catchphrases seeping into common use. Together with his friend George, ex-girlfriend Elaine and neighbour Cosmo, the character of Jerry deals with the absurdities and trivial questions of daily life while living in New York City. Seinfeld is famously "a show about nothing" focusing on the minutiae of daily life, created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David starring Seinfeld as a fictionalised version of himself. – Daniel Furn Norm MacDonald Has a ShowĪ ratings juggernaut and one of the most influential sitcoms of all time, Seinfeld's arrival on Netflix caused quite the commotion despite the show ending well over twenty years ago. Mostly, however, On My Block will be remembered for its striking portrayal of teenage friendship - how it can be tested by real-life issues, how people can sometimes drift apart, and just how precious good times with your school friends can be.
However the show is far from all doom and gloom, with the show determined to showcase how fun adolescence can be, complete with zany comedy and spot-on performances from the cast who bring infectious energy to every episode. On My Block has been praised for its realistic portrayal of inner-city life, depicting all-too-real issues such as gang culture, crime and violence and how they adversely affect underrepresented communities in particular. On My Block follows Monse, Ruby, Jamal and Cesar as they find their lifelong friendship tested when they start high school in the gritty Los Angeles neighbourhood of Freeridge, following the highs, lows and emotions that come with adolescence in the inner city. The teen comedy-drama is hardly a new invention, but On My Block manages to keep things fresh and exciting with its talented diverse cast, unbridled enthusiasm and timely exploration of societal issues.
