I found this show a few weeks ago. I've now watched all three seasons. It's a delightful escape - not reality. Everything in life does MOT revolve around sex. BUT that being said - it's pure escapism ... just don't believe it's true life. Kind of like a Hallmark movie - don't believe it. I watched it for enjoyment, friendship, and entertainment. Will watch season 4 when it comes out!

This show is the perfect mashup of all the good things from 'the devil wears prada', 'gossip girl', and 'sex and the city' with the added bonus of more contemporary, feminist, political and identity issues leading the plot. Yes, some of the twists and turns seemed too good to be true, but it's one of those shows you can just put on to feel good, although you'll probably end up getting hooked on it! I'm obsessed!

Got into it as from the very first episode. The characters professionalism in their job was kind of inspiring. The show was interesting and pretty captivating. But season 4 went down to be cheesy. It's still worth watching up to season 3.

i think there's no reason for this show to have a 5.9. it's funny, clever, dramatic, and exciting, all while being about feminism- particularly inter sectional feminism-at a magazine called "scarlet". its unique even when it plays into tropes. the main trio are likable, interesting characters that we can root for. I'm really excited for where this show will go!

I agree with some of the previous comments that some parts of The Bold Type are unrealistic- but that's TV right?? This show is politically correct, and constantly counters the narrative of "pull yourself up by your bootstraps". These women have each other's backs throughout all of their struggles, and it echoes an incredible sense of community. In season 2, what Kat and Jane individually go through I have never seen on TV before (I've seen a lot of TV) and I'm been going through those instances in my life recently too. It felt incredible to be represented and feel like I'm not the only one facing these dilemmas. After each show I'm always in a better mood, and catch myself laughing at their subtle humor and goofy acts throughout every episode. Upon reflection, I think this is my favorite show. (as a 20-something woman).

Upon seeing the first ads for this show I wasn't particularly intrigued, but because of the feminist themes I gave it a chance and was pleasantly surprised. I have so much respect for what the show is doing in terms of showcasing real diversity and giving these women depth that is often unseen in female characters. So many supportive and positive relationships/interactions between women (and even with the men too) here as opposed to the stereotypical cattiness. There's SO much quality representation for women in general, but particularly valuable rep for women of color, Muslim women, and LGBT women. I really like that the drama doesn't center around the love interests, and that the women get to be fully fledged outside of their romantic entanglements; they confront the real life issues of today. It isn't my usual TYPE of show, but I'm 100% hooked!!

This show satisfies my most feminine fantasies of that glamorous job, office romance, and a sisterly bond of best friends. I also absolutely appreciate that the female boss character isn't a b*tch and actually supports her employees in a strong motherly way. All in all, the show is very entertaining and I'm continuing to binge away!

Somehow the makers of this show portrayed the vulnerabilities of woman especially Jane all-over and Sutton in Season 4. Skipped Most of Kat and Adena episodes coz it's very irritating how Kat changes her love interests from time to time. May be as a guy I feel the observing angle rather than personal angle but whatever happened to Richard was not good and not well written in my opinion. Theme was great also Jacqueline was pretty amazing. Good for binging but gets more unnecessarily dramatic as it goes.

It is so good to have a TV series where the women are helping other women instead of stabbing them in the back. Looking forward to seeing more.

So I usually don't write reviews but I felt compelled to do so, bc I honestly don't understand why I watch this show but I can't help myself. I realized the most redeeming quality of the main 3 characters is Sutton. She is such a great character and fun to watch. Very much reminds me of a person who could be on Younger. But as for the other two Jane is tolerable, but Kat is the most intolerable character on the show! I say if you like Younger get give it a shot, but you will find that Sutton gives you that appreciation

This. Show. Is. Great. Have to admit I wasn't planning on watching based on the original promos but I'm so glad I have it a chance. Each episode gets better and every character brings something to the table. Writing unlike anything I've seen before and compelling storytelling that makes me want Tuesday to get here ASAP every week.Give it a try!

I just started watching this show on netflix and I must saay its a cool show to watch but its not realistic. Everything just seems to fall into place with each one of the girls but life isnt like that. They all get good jobs, handsome or pretty partners who are deeply in love with them...awards,recognition, I mean I wish as a twenty something year old..I wish I had that luck! I cant even get a job with my degree lol.. Im not hating but its just not real. Another thing each of of these girls have partners and still have so much time to spend with friends? As soon as one of my female friends get a partner thats it..just a little time to spare LOL. As I said its cool just not real.

These beautiful ladies take a lot of risks on the road to love, successful careers, etc. I wish I had a great group of close friends like these ladies. They aren't perfect but nobody is. I appreciate this show and enjoy each episode watching them grow and learn. I'm so sorry this is the final season airing now but am grateful we got to be there to watch it through the years. I will miss it.

It's rare that you see positive female friendships on TV and that is what makes this show so special. The main characters are kind and constantly support and build each other up, a far cry from the usual catty, female drama you see in most shows. It's not just a "fluff" show and doesn't shy away from tough subjects. I am always so impressed with how they tackle complex, nuanced issues while still be engaging and fun. Yes, some parts are unrealistically lucky but it's a c'mon it's television. This show is truly a breath of fresh air amongst the legions of other stale dramas. I love that they break the mold with so many characters and don't rely on outdated archetypes. It makes me feel empowered and pushes me to support the other women in my life. I highly recommend giving it a shot!

An amazing show filled with strong women! The main friendship between the three girls is wonderful and refreshing, and most importantly, realistic. They could've made the boss a stereotypical "bitchy" character but she's super supportive and believes in the girls. While it's a show with lots of women, the men are also well written. Sutton's boyfriend Richard is sweet and kind and always there for her and i hope we can see more of Alex. And of course the LGBT representation between two women!!! This is a show I'm definitely looking forward to every week!

It's an entertaining show, but that's it. they really try to force political correctness in every episode, without it really adding to the story. that makes it feel like the show is based more on a checklist than a storyline.

Usually karaoke scenes in a pub/bar are not good. This just takes to a whole new level of how worse things can actually get. It's so obvious it's not their voices. It's so bad that it's hilarious :D.

Sooo good to see a show about millennials that isn't superficial, explores contemporary issues but is also light and funny. It is full of great characters and it has something for everyone. I'd definitely give it a watch!

I love this show. The Bold Type is a feel good type of show that I just want to watch with my girls. It doesn't just show what a good friendship looks like between girls but it touches on real issues that our country is currently facing. I really love how this show's setting is in a workplace and not in a high school like so many other TV shows. I feel as if this show should have a higher rating because who doesn't like a feel good show with feminism and girl power???
