1!Representation of Women and Crime in the Show Good Girls
In the first episode of season one in the Netflix series, Good Girls, the central themes of crime and female empowerment are represented. The show is a feminist crime drama about three independent women Beth, her sister Annie and their best friend Ruby, who take part in illegal activities to gain financial safety, in desperation to support their families. The show presents women in Detroit dealing with real relatable situations. Beth is a perfect housewife and mother who cares for her four children like no other, but her cheating husband has put their whole family in financial debt. Her little sister, Annie is a single mother, who is caught up in a custody case with her ex, who wants full rights over her child. Lastly, Ruby is a
mother of two married to a policeman, but unfortunately cant afford to pay for her daughters drugs and medical bills, as she is very ill and on a waiting list for a kidney transplant. In episode one of the show, Annie suggests that they rob Fine and Frugal the grocery store where she works, under the impression that it will only be a one time thing, and a great opportunity to get rid of all of their life problems at once. Halfway through the pilot, when the women have successfully robbed hundreds and thousands of dollars from the cash vault, they realize they have escaped with way more money than possible. Later on, they find out that the manager of the store has been secretly involved in laundering money to a gang. Throughout the entire show, the three women stick together as they are forced into doing suspicious crimes with a shady gang, in order to not get caught and risk losing everything; their kids, their homes or each other.
