"These characters are so charismatic, it makes the horrifying situations they’re stuck in even more depressing, so much so that you long to see them on any other type of show."

—

A.V. Club

"As is, it’s more of a dark comedy that can’t be dark enough to earn the drama or sharp enough to work as a comedy. It tries to be everything, but moves too quickly between genres to fit into a 44-minute cut."

—

IndieWire

"Generally more than watchable thanks to a trio of leading ladies--Christina Hendricks, Retta and Mae Whitman--who appear to be having a tremendous time playing funny, badass characters who are the focus of the show and not just wives or girlfriends."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"Good Girls also operates like a character-driven family drama, the more tension-building aspects of the plot sometimes feels like they’re coming at you too fast."

—

Vulture

"It feels like there’s a built-in shelf life for Good Girls, but watching these frazzled moms use their hard-won problem-solving skills to get out of scrapes is a fun caper while it lasts."

—

Entertainment Weekly

"Good Girls doesn’t always find the balance, but thanks to remarkable performances from its leads and a daring streak of risky storytelling, it’s a welcome addition to the procedural-heavy world of network drama."
