2 • March 22 - 28, 2020 • Brainerd Dispatch By Kyla Brewer TV Media T hey say good things come in threes, and that's certainly true in one of prime time's most intrigu- ing comedy-infused dramas. Rife with moral conundrums and crimi- nal characters, the series has earned critical praise and has be- come a must-watch on Netflix. Tired of struggling to make lemon- ade every time life handed them lem- ons, three women take matters into their own hands in the third season of "Good Girls," airing Sunday, March 22, on NBC. In the beginning of the series, suburban moms Beth (Christina Hendricks, "Mad Men"), Ruby (Retta, "Parks and Recreation") and Annie (Mae Whitman, "Parent- hood") turned to crime to make ends meet when they robbed a grocery store. However, they had no idea that the grocery store in question had ties to organized crime and a dangerous thug named Rio (Manny Montana, "Graceland"). Thus began an unfor- tunate series of events that led them farther down a dark path. "Good Girls" is a bit of a depar- ture from the tamer fare that is usual- ly seen on broadcast television. This kind of grit is more often at home on cable channels such as HBO, AMC or FX, not one of the big four networks. That's one of the reasons Hendricks wasn't so sure about the show when she first read the script. A May article on theatlantic.com indicated that Hendricks explained why during a press tour panel. "My big fear was that it was on network television," she said. "I was terrified that they were just not going to allow the real rawness of it." Fortunately for fans, NBC has al- lowed the series to flourish, with plenty of action to go around. During the show's inaugural season, some critics compared the series to a gen- tler or feminist version of AMC's hit "Breaking Bad." The comparison made sense given that the women were doing the wrong things for the right reasons. They were trying to im- prove their lives and the lives of their loved ones with a so- called "victimless" crime by robbing a fully insured gro- cery store. They merely wanted to use the money from the rob- bery to fix some fin- icky financial situa- tions. Beth discov- ered that her family was on the verge of losing their home, thanks to her husband Dean's (Matthew Lillard, "Scooby Doo," 2002) poor financial decisions. Ru- by's daughter is ill and needs expen- sive medical treatment. Meanwhile, Annie, who's also Beth's sister, needs money to hire a lawyer because her ex, Gregg (Zach Gilford, "Friday Night Lights"), is taking her to court for custody of their child. The first two seasons had some thrilling moments as the women tangled with both criminal under- world figures and law enforce- ment, but the heart of the series is rooted in their relationships with each other and their family lives, which is perhaps what makes "Good Girls" so relatable to view- ers. Beth and Dean's marriage has its ups and downs as she becomes the de facto leader of the group. Ruby has had some pretty close brushes with the law, consid- ering that her husband, Stan (Reno Wilson, "Mike & Molly"), was a cop. When he found out about her il- legal wheelings and dealings, he risked his ca- reer by covering for her. In Season 2, Annie and Gregg's son, Ben (Isaiah Stannard), previously known as Sadie, came out as a transgender boy in a forward-thinking storyline for network television. While the show's criminal story- line is unquestionably intriguing, these family struggles are just as fas- cinating for viewers. Ratings for "Good Girls" have dipped over the course of the first two seasons, but the program does very well on Netf- lix, which may have helped it earn a Season 3 renewal from NBC. "We're so excited to continue fol- lowing the friendship and adven- tures of these three incredible wom- en while also exploring relatable is- sues in both funny and surprising ways," NBC executives Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta said when "Good Girls" was renewed for Season 3 in April. The new season picked up shortly after the events of Season 2 when it debuted in February. Beth had re- cently shot Rio and left him for dead. With him presumably out of the pic- ture, she was keen to take control of the game. The women kicked off Season 3 by getting normal jobs as they plot to expand their enterprise. Beth works in a stationery store, Ruby takes a job in a nail salon and Annie becomes a valet. It wasn't long before they became mixed up in a counterfeit scheme.
