            I’ve only been able to watch one Amazon series thus far and it has been tremendous. That show is Transparent and though I’m halfway through Season 3, a review should be up before the end of the weekend. The first trailer for another show on the streaming service was just released today though and that show is Good Girls Revolt.

            The show is a true story about a group of 45 women who worked at Newsweek and brought a discrimination lawsuit against the company in 1969. It was inspired by Lynn Povich’s book of the same title which recounted her real life experiences of changing the workplace for women. This is obviously a show that can relate very much to the current state of equal rights in the workplace for women as now in 2016 we deal with another significant problem, equal pay for women. This show looks great though and features Anna Camp, who is best known for the Pitch Perfect films and also Grace Gummer who is Meryl Streep’s daughter and had a supporting role on the latest season of Mr. Robot which just ended last night.

            This looks to have a similar look and tone to Mad Men but with women. Check out the first trailer for Amazon original series, Good Girls Revolt. Season 1 will be released on October 28^th!
