When Girlboss season 1 was released in late April, the series was met with scathing reviews that particularly criticize Sophia Marlowe's (Britt Robertson) character. With all the bad feedback, did Netflix really cancel the reprisal?
Critics may have to sit around a little longer as Netflix just recently released the upcoming season's trailer. This can only mean that a reprisal is definitely coming soon.
Sophia Amoruso On Regrets And Her Canceled 'girlboss' Netflix Series
Back in April when viewers were doubting if the show is going to make a comeback, Movie Pilot suggested that it is highly likely as Netflix has always renewed their original shows for at least a second season.
The show, written and produced by Sophia Amoruso herself, depicts the Nasty Gal founder's origins presented in a real loose manner. Viewers watched the former eBay queen go dumpster diving, getting an hernia, building a multimillion-dollar company, and going bankrupt, all of which happened before she turned 33.
The first years few years of Sophia's story were undoubtedly inspiring. She was a college dropout who realized her knack for vintage shopping can become a good business. Sophia started selling on eBay, and moved to her own website NastyGal.com in 2008.

In 2009, the company moved into a warehouse in Berkeley, but soon transferred to a larger space in Emeryville. A year after, Sophia took Nasty Gal to Los Angeles to accommodate the company's massive expansion.
Even though Nasty Gal began as an online empire, it later evolved into a clothing brand. The company enjoyed an initial runway success and in 2014, it opened its first physical store in Los Angeles. The store was stocked with Nasty Gal's own brand and apparel from various designers.
By 2016, Amoruso she became one of the youngest people to be sworn in Forbes' list of richest self-made women. She made her debut with an estimated net worth of $280 million.

So, what is there to hate with this success story? Most reviews highlight Sophia's attitude. Mashable, for instance, described her as the epitome of every quality that older people do not like about millennials. She remains rude even when she is at fault. She is also lazy and wants to be financially successful without working hard.
The real-life Sophia has also encountered several lawsuits. In June 2015, an ex-employee filed a lawsuit claiming that Nasty Gal was a horrible workplace for pregnant women. She alleged that the company illegally terminated her along with three other women. They were also refused four months of unpaid leave which the California law supposedly guarantee for new mothers.
Viewers were so enraged with Sophia's attitude that even Robertson suffered heavy criticism. In an interview with Bustle, the Girlboss star explained, I think that's sort of the point to the show, to be honest with you. Because she is unlikable, it's a part of what the story is. She can't make her way in life because nobody understands her story or gets who she is.follows the story of Sophia Amoruso, the self-made millionaire who founded the online vintage shop Nasty Gal. The show traces the rise of an empire that began in mid-2000s San Francisco, but ignores Amoruso’s fall from grace, which was prompted by some pretty serious accusations of business malpractice and ultimately led to the company’s bankruptcy.
Girlboss Cancelled, No Season 2 At Netflix
“We would see more of her rise, ” Cannon said. “It’s unclear if she’d move to L.A. or not, but we’d see some of the bumps of actually being a boss to people. What we’ll do in the show is this idea of understanding what your strengths and weaknesses are.”
There’s a lot left out of the romanticized interpretation, likely because Amoruso herself served as an executive producer. And it looks like Cannon doesn’t plan on exploring the hard truths in a second season, either. But for the show to be worth watching, it needs to tell the real story, so here are important moments
The story of Amoruso’s relationship with her employees will eventually go south, as the former CEO was accused of firing several employees due to their pregnancies. However, for that storyline to work, we’ve also got to see how happy the mainly female workforce at Nasty Gal was before the eventual fall. From its founding in 2006 until around 2013, Nasty Gal seemed exempt from criticism, and was known for offering good health benefits and offices full of free snacks. It’ll be nice to see Britt Robertson’s version of Sophia struggle to deal with managing people, as the real Amoruso did; look no further than the gnarly Glassdoor reviews from former employees for just a few anecdotes.

One of the early controversies surrounding Nasty Gal was Amoruso’s decision to transition the company from a vintage retail store set up on eBay to a clothing line on an independent website. What gets buried in the retrospectives of that move was that it was a necessary one, after a suspension from eBay that some speculated was connected to the Girlboss “ripping off her customers” with the products she was selling. There are some well-documented allegations of Nasty Gal passing off non-vintage items as the real thing, rigging auctions and other offenses. By the time the suspension was lifted, Amoruso had already moved on to her own site. Some of these early scandals are included in the
Features a Sophia that is headstrong but naive as she begins an online vintage store on eBay merely to spite a local shop owner. After Nasty Gal begins to take off, though, we know that the real-life Amoruso underwent a transformation of sorts, and her Cinderella story led to her bestselling memoir #GIRLBOSS in 2015. There was likely a number of attitude adjustments and harsh lessons learned, as well as healthy ego boosts via the droves of magazine covers and hungry reporters flogging her story. There’s certainly the seeds of an egomaniac in Sophia as she’s portrayed in season one, and it would be interesting to see her slowly transition into the full-fledged thing.
Because Nasty Gal expanded so quickly in its early years, an examination of why Amoruso eventually decided to move the company to Los Angeles from San Francisco would be a good opportunity to explore her relationship with the higher-ups at Nasty Gal, as well as her ability to manage a major business move without losing her cool. This would be an especially interesting challenge for the show itself; San Francisco was such a huge character in the first season, and the writers would have to match that sense of importance of location to LA to keep the show tonally consistent.

While season two might be too soon to get to the real meat of Nasty Gal’s downfall, much of the criticism heaped upon Amoruso by employees revolved around her increasing distance from the company in the 18 months before her departure as CEO altogether in early 2015. After Nasty Gal reached a certain height, many Glassdoor reviews indicate that Amoruso became more interested in the press surrounding her image, and then the success of her book, than the company itself.
This would an interesting opportunity to introduce a new character :Sheree Waterson, who would eventually inherit the CEO position when Amoruso stepped down. Waterson, who has a 19% approval rating on Glassdoor right now, has been highly criticized, and blamed with a severe dip in workplace morale. It would be interesting to see how her time with the company slowly allowed Sophia to distance herself from her company.
We’ll see if Netflix opts to continue the Sophia Amoruso story, but there’s plenty of real-life inspiration to fuel a more honest second season if Kay Cannon’s creation moves forward.
