Critics Consensus

Girlfriends offers an honest -- and frequently hilarious -- look at a time of life too often marginalized on TV, with wonderfully well-acted results.

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 03/04/2020
The cast is a ripper but life is a succession of hammer blows in this sudsy but emotionally authentic series from veteran British writer Kay Mellor. Go to Full Review Gabriel Tate Daily Telegraph (UK) 09/06/2018
2/5
Plenty to be going on with there, you might think, and a drama featuring older women should always be welcomed. But Girlfriends is a Kay Mellor six-parter so, the narrative is ludicrously overstuffed. Go to Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle 02/02/2018
4/4
Girlfriends is part mystery, and we're hooked on wanting to know what happened to Micky. But the more important "mysteries," really, are the lives of these three women, each one heroic in her own life. Go to Full Review Sara Wallis Daily Mirror (UK) 09/06/2018
This increasingly bizarre series has morphed from drama to comedy to utter farce. There were moments of greatness at the beginning of Girlfriends, but recently we have been left staring at our screens perplexed. Go to Full Review Bernadette McNulty iNews.co.uk 09/06/2018
It's a shame though that in this first episode, good intentions seem to outweigh great drama. There is something of an oddball mix to the trio of lead characters and their reconciliation. Go to Full Review David Stephenson Daily Express (UK) 09/06/2018
No one could say Girlfriends, the daftest drama of the year (so far) didn't leave us in any doubt about what it wanted: larger suitcases for "dead" bodies. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/15/2022 Really quite enjoyed this show. Binged it in a day and was left wanting more by end of episode 6, but alas there does not seem to be another season. Love that a show with 3 mature woman are the lead roles and their lives are true to life. There is a bit of silliness but a refreshing change to the fake, over the top, mind numbing reality tv drivel that seems to be only thing being pushed on networks these days. See more 08/22/2020 If your cup of tea is watching train wrecks for an hour, you will love this. There is not a normal, I mean not dysfunctional character in the entire series. That said, the acting moves it along and the writing seems to have a point....but I can't think of what that is right now: something about older women supporting each other. It was a slog but not always painful. See more Read all reviews
