It’s meant to be a funny tale of a woman hustling her way to the top of the fashion business – but you’ll never side with the overindulged star of this Netflix drama
Why you’ll love it: If you watch Girlboss and love it, I want you to get help. It is a “comedy” loosely based on the autobiography of startup millionaire Sophia Amoruso who made her fortune a decade ago (when this is set) with her vintage fashion brand, Nasty Gal. They have since filed for bankruptcy.
It all starts with a girl in a bedroom in San Francisco, wishing she could opt out of adulthood and just please herself all day. We meet her pushing a clapped-out car up a hill while wearing an outfit barely covering her butt-cheeks. If real Sophia is anything like fictional Sophia (played by the otherwise excellent Britt Robertson, the spunky teen from Tomorrowland) then she deserves none of her success and should immediately hand over every cent to charity for crimes against humanity.
Ow: That Leaked Powerpuff Girl Script...
Fictional Sophia is a walking selfie, whining about having to work for a living. She says “love you in case I die!” whenever she bids farewell to her best friend. And she inexplicably steals food out of dumpsters despite having a dad who offers to help her out financially. It’s a show which fully mistakes being an overindulged horror-show for being an assertive millennial role model.
According to show creator and writer Kay Cannon, a Girlboss is “opinionated, confident, feisty” and, you know, strong or something. She and her co-producers (of whom Charlize Theron is one) are trying to make Girlboss the new Girl Power: the same vapid, non-specific, something-to-do-with-feminism-in-hot pants fluff but with added narcissism and less of a sense of humour.
Girlboss is so unrelentingly tone-deaf to the human condition it’s hard to know where to start. It purports to be not only Sophia’s story but a rallying cry to dyspeptic, wasteful goons everywhere who think the world owes them a lovely time with zero input or effort expended.
The Triumph Of The Girlboss?
The cry is: do what you like and figure it all out as you go along because you’re probably fabulous. Sophia’s epiphany here isn’t one of self-knowledge. She just finds an expensive jacket going cheap in a thrift store, sells it on eBay for hundreds, and cries. Money makes her cry. It’s everything wrong with the world today, distilled into a single, selfish tear.
She has no romance in her heart because all that’s at stake is her success. Trying to drag a romantic subplot over the top of it only serves to highlight her dreadfulness further, rather than showing her vulnerability. When Sophia has a sleepover with a boy and he remarks afterwards that he doesn’t know why, but he likes her, she smirks back, “You’ll figure it out, ” before forcing him to make ocean sounds to help her sleep. She is unrootable-for.
An impressive supporting cast including RuPaul Charles as Sophia’s pot-smoking neighbour and Dean Norris from Breaking Bad as her concerned dad, cannot help this hammeringly unfunny script.
Gossip Girl Boss Laments Potential Pickup Elsewhere:
“Adulthood is where dreams go to die, ” whinges Sophia to a random old woman on a park bench who she sometimes uses as a sounding board. Girlboss is a show that could do with a grown-up in charge, because these kids have made a real mess of it.
Stand-out episode: Watch the tension headache that is episode one and tell me if you made it any further. I liked episode 13 best when it ended.I love it. I love this series so much!!!! First of all if you haven’t watched Girlboss you need to go and watch it now!!!! Second there will be spoilers in this review so you have your spoiler alert so no moaning!!
The series overall is amazing, I love the style of the series and the soundtrack is absolutely amazing(little side note – you can find a playlist with the whole soundtrack on spotify).
Best Netflix Original Series 2022
The characters are great and the whole feel of the series is quite real to life. There are a few of the episodes that I didn’t like as much however all together I really really enjoyed this series.
The opening scene of the first episode just jumps straight into the story and introduces you to the main character, Sophia, straight away. This scene when her car runs out of petrol and her pushing the car really captures part of Sophia personality. Her characteristics are portrayed even more when the tram is behind her but she is not going to be told to get out of the road because she will get to the gas station which is just slightly up the hill. From her interaction with the tram driver it truly shows her “There is a problem with my car but I will deal with it by myself” attitude.
I think the speed of the storyline is brilliantly done because in under 10 minutes you are introduced to the main character, her best friend and her love interest. You are also introduced to Sophia’s personality and how she interacts with different people.
Girlboss On Netflix: Interview With Sophia Amoruso, Britt Robertson And Kay Cannon
The intro to ebay is quite sly being that it is when she is searching up vintage clothes while at her job in the shoe shop. But this really starts of exploring Sophia’s love for clothes, especially vintage clothes.
I really like the scene where she has just gotten fired and she calls her best friend. She begins to well up however she doesn’t allow herself to overcome with sadness.
Also I liked that the first place she goes to cheer herself up after being fired is the vintage shop. This shows the happiness that Sophia links with clothes and vintage clothes. If that is through finding a one of kind piece or just browsing.

I loved the editing of the vintage store scene where she is looking through some of the clothes and when she picks up an item, she turns to the mirror and suddenly her reflection is in this whole outfit that fits perfectly around this top. This really emphasises Sophia’s creativitness.
The fact that Sophia has such an extensive knowledge about clothes is emphasised when she finds the jacket. This is the turning point in the story and it happens in under 20 minutes.
The scene following Sophia purchasing the jacket is brilliantly done. The music is high energy which emphaises the new found energy in Sophia. Sophia is filled with a hell of alot of confidence as she has that “Damn, I look goooood!!” feeling which is just enhanced by her checking herself out in the shop window

I also liked dinner scene as it showed the relationship between Sophia and her dad. It is as if Sophia has tried doing so many different projects or jobs but her dad is so used to her failing at them or giving up that Sophia’s hope and energy about starting an ebay business is thrown back in her face but her dad.
However even though her dad doesn’t believe in her she arrives at home she goes straight to taking a picture and uploading it onto ebay.
The end scene shows her humanity and just her lifestyle in general but once she sees the price her hopes are fulfilled.

I thought this was a great first episode as it introduced the characters very quickly, the storyline was fast paced and all together set up the whole series extremely well.
The start of this episode starts off where the first episode ended. I love the music in this scene as it emphasises Sophia’s happiness. I also love that she is just dancing around in celebration about the jacket.
Also Lionel, Sophia’s neighbour, is a great secondary character. Some of his lines are so sassy and are great come backs to Sophia.

The editing in this episode is beautifully done. In a way the music is emphasising her happiness and once she gets the hern, her happiness ends and so does the music!!!
In this episode one of the main story lines is Sophia trying to find more one of a kind pieces of clothing to sell for more dolla!
The scene of her going through all of the different stores and looking is really nicely edited. It has a good flow to it but in each little clip she gets even more and more irritated. Before long she just goes back to the original place where she found the jacket. By then she is in such a rage that it brings some humour to the interation between Sophia and the guy in the vintage shop.

Again the editing for the scene where she is searching for the state sales is brilliant. I love the fact they have a search bar in the frame showing what she is typing. In addition I love that they had Sophia’s imagination of who the clothes used to own to shown through a little clip that it looks like Sophia is looking at the scene through her window.
The final scene is great, I love the climax of the episode. Her day has gotten worse and worse, finally it has
