The reality into which the 13-episode series struts makes it seem, in too many ways, spectacularly tone-deaf. Go to Full Review

This new character may not be the voice of her generation, but she just may be the voice of super-smart TV comedy. Good enough. Go to Full Review

Sophia is the epitome of everything people hate about millennials. Go to Full Review
Morgan Baila Refinery29 04/29/2019
The show itself is entertaining, if not addictive. It uses a killer alt-rock, post-punk soundtrack and a vibrant vintage wardrobe to transport viewers right into the lifestyle and mindset of 23-year-old Sophia, through all her quirks and catastrophes. Go to Full Review

As much as it pains me to even type this and become one of those negative eBay members or a disgruntled message board commenter, the show was a hit and a miss. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 May 26 LOL, 13 of the funniest single-season episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Jaime M @RT90480305 11/10/2024 Adulthood set to difficult. The story follows narcissistic Sophia, she has a chip on her shoulder about the world, the confidence of a bald middle aged marketing executive, and she doesn’t want to be an adult. The story follows a loose interpretation of Sophia Amoruso’s rise into Nasty Gal in the 2000’s. Surprisingly this show had a lot of hate behind it when it first came out, which I didn’t understand, but after rewatching… I still don’t get it. The interpretations of Sophia’s character from the beginning of the show to the end is so realistic for a person consumed in her job and a tendancy self destruction. I’ve also got to admit the last episode with her relationship was so realistic and so well done. Also a random amount of Ru Paul in it too. See more Lorna B @RT57240485 03/06/2024 Loved it! Don't know why it has such low scores? Took a few episodes to get into, seemed like annoying rom-com characters at first and then it just flipped and became something else. Gutted the show was pulled and no series 2. Always loved the store Nasty Gal, so it was an amazing surprise to me when I found out what the series was about. I've since bought Sophia's 'Girl Boss' book and am giving that a go. See more Nicholeee @RT49643513 08/20/2023 The main character was unbearable. I could barely get through episode 1 and 2. Definitely not a fan of the actress that played the main character. See more Ponhand P @RT86103820 12/02/2022 Excellent series. Very dimanic. The lead actress is a genius actor. Too bad the series was dumped. I would have watched an other season See more michael l @GonzoFlix 07/24/2022 I enjoyed the series, it was vibrant and funny. Critics didn't seem to like it at all, and I think that's a bit misguided. First, the supporting cast was filled with solid comedic character actors. They did a fantastic job. The show was shot well, the set dressing was fun and interesting, the acting is good, and the main character's personality flaws reflect a reality about people. Finding your way in the world is tough. Some people are angry, self-destructive, generally messed up, and it's a struggle to offload the baggage that created that flawed person. Sure, character and plot development could have been better, but overall I thought the show flowed well and was entertaining, and it was more than a formulaic sitcom, so it gets points for that.
