"Whoever said money can't buy happiness never had three crushing mortgages to pay, a looming custody battle to fund, or a little girl with an expensive, life-threatening respiratory illness. The mothers in Good Girls — Ruby, Annie, and Beth, played respectively by Retta, Mae Whitman, and Christina Hendricks — have all of those problems . . . and then some. NBC's hilarious, unexpectedly moving, and fast-paced show is packed with plenty of twists, hilarious one-liners, and a deeply moving dramatic performance from Retta as struggling mom Ruby. Sure, the conceit of an average, everyday person turning to a life of crime to save their family already played out on Breaking Bad, with which Good Girls shares a few definite similarities, but the show's initial grocery store robbery has far more complications for the three heroines than you might think, offering the characters room to grow in season two." — QK
