Review of "The
Bold Type" 7/15/17 by
Suzanne
Airs Tuesdays, 9:00pm ET/PT
This is a show about young women working at a "Cosmo"
type of magazine called Scarlet. The focus is on three young
women. One (Jane) has just been promoted to writer, one is
an assistant (Sutton) and one is in charge of the magazine's
social media (Kat). Jane grew up without a mom, and she's a
bit insecure about her big new job. Sutton is in love with
an executive at the company, Richard. Kat is a bit
headstrong and impetutous. They worship the magazine's
editor, Jacqueline.
The show is loosely based on the
life of former Cosmo editor Joanna Coles, who's also
executive producer. At first I thought it was kind of boring
and trying too hard to be like "Sex and the City." However,
once I got into it, I saw that I was wrong and that it has a
lot more substance than that show. The writers make you care
about the characters. They're not just cardboard cutouts of
what Hollywood thinks young women might be. They're very
real. There aren't too many shows on TV today that you can
say that about.
