Leans Progressive
Primary
The show is rated -1 (Left-Leaning) because its central narrative consistently portrays women driven to crime by economic desperation and systemic failures, finding agency and solidarity by challenging traditional roles and male-dominated structures.
The series features a diverse main cast with two white women and one Black woman in leading roles. The narrative explores themes of female empowerment and economic struggle without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on strong DEI themes.
Secondary
Good Girls features a significant LGBTQ+ character arc through Annie's child, Ben, who comes out as transgender. The show sensitively portrays Ben's journey of self-discovery and his mother Annie's evolving acceptance and support, ultimately affirming his identity with dignity and empathy.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Good Girls is an original series, not an adaptation or reboot of existing material. All characters were created for the show, establishing their genders from its inception. Therefore, no character's gender was swapped from a prior canonical or historical depiction.
Good Girls is an original series that premiered in 2018. Its characters were created for the show and are not based on pre-existing source material or historical figures, thus precluding any race swaps.
