Is here and the new Netflix series is getting as much scrutiny as the Girlboss it’s inspired by, controversial Nasty Gal creator Sophia Amoruso. Our fictional Sophia (Britt Robertson) has already been called cartoonishly brash, a classic asshole genius, and a manic-pixie-jackass. All of this is true. But, if you stick around through all of season 1’s 13 episodes, you’ll realize there’s a lot more going on underneath all that bluster and vintage clothing.
When we first meet Sophia in Girlboss, she’s simply a caricature of everything we’re told is wrong with millennials, and then some. She’s self-obsessed, always late, and has a crippling case of Peter Pan Syndrome. On top of all of that, she also steals, has a misplaced sense of superiority, and is rude in ways that hint she’s never spoken to another human being.
Then, episode 4, Ladyshopper99, happens. This is the moment we see Sophia go from a sketch of countless awful qualities held together by rocker-chic duds, to a deeply sad young woman with a real history. A big part of that is thanks to a dinner conversation between Sophia, her artist friend Nathan (Cole Escola), and his mom (Nicole Sullivan). Nathan and his mom couldn’t have a closer relationship, which finally gets Sophia to open up about her own family, which includes an MIA mother and a (sometimes understandably) critical dad.

, she explains, starting to get a far-off look in her eyes. I have this eBay thing, which I think is pretty cool. But, I know that [my dad] would just find a way to make it seem like I was doing it all wrong. I’m not even gonna mention it to him until I can buy…really everything that Barbie has.
Then, Nathan’s mom gives Sophia the kind of hug that nearly brings tears to her eyes. It looks like the first time the budding fashion mogul has received any maternal love in years. That’s when we realize Sophia is still haunted by demons from her childhood. She doesn’t act like a monster because she’s a natural Garbage Person as she’s called later in Girlboss; she’s thick-skinned because she still feels abandoned.
This plot point becomes even more obvious when Sophia goes nuclear and tells her best friend Annie (Ellie Reed) she’s essentially done nothing to make Nasty Girl the nascent success it is. Of course that’s a lie — Annie does all the hair and makeup for the eBay photos and essentially manages the business — but our resident narcissistic girlboss can’t see that. Sophia was deserted once by someone she loves, so she’s convinced herself she doesn’t need anyone else, that she's a one woman army. Again, this is totally incorrect.

Is able to start reversing Sophia’s most self-destructive tendencies is to go right to the source. For the Christmas episode, Garbage Person, Sophia eventually tracks down her mom Kathleen (Alice Ripley), who’s a down-on-her-luck aging actress. Despite the mother-daughter pair’s longtime emotional and physical distance, they have the same scream-first, apologize-never attitude. While Sophia has been celebrating this behavior for the entirety of the series, her mom acts as a Ghost Of Christmas Future, revealing the sad, lonely life her daughter could have if she doesn’t get her act together. It’s no surprise Kathleen’s troupe is performing
When Sophia returns to San Francisco she's not a totally new person, but she finally has enough humility to ask Annie to forgive her. So, yes, Sophia is sometimes a manic-pixie jackass. But she's also the kind of nasty gal you'll end up rooting for if you're paying attention.

: Each of you are starring in or running your own show or business. What does the title “girlboss” mean to you?
The Women Of Girlboss
[1996] and I just wanted to know how all of this was made: What happens before you end up standing on a pink mark with a bunch of light facing you? That’s why I started my own company, to realize all the aspects of a movie—financial, how you pull talent and crew in, how you bargain and find better incentives—and I kind of fell in love with it. It wasn’t “Oh, I just want ownership.” I really wanted to do this thing, the whole thing.
Sophia Amoruso: Yeah, it’s not about bossing around other people at all. I love that #girlboss is a way for women to self-identify as someone who stands up for what she believes in. I don’t think there is a more important time for women to talk about what matters to us. I want women to wake up in the morning and say, “Yeah!” That to me is a boss.
Britt Robertson: For me, [being a] girlboss is about being the boss of your own life. At 26 I still don’t know what’s happening in my life, but I’m asking, What will make me happy next?

Kay Cannon: That’s right. A lot of people don’t know what their passion or purpose is. For Sophia, it’s important she find out.
Charlize: It took a while for me to be able to sit in a room of studios and financiers and say, “I’m not some hoity-toity actress looking for a vanity deal—I really know how to make a film!” In order to do that, you’ve got to break your f-cking back.
Sophia: There is a “Fake it till you make it” mentality that works. In the early Nasty Gal days, I’d
