This series was a refreshing binge, showing a side of the Showbusiness, that back in the times many turned a blind eye to. It touches on very nuanced conversations about women’s treatment in the entertainment industry, as well as the differences between female and male gaze and also women’s rights to their own choices (and their own bodies). For this alone I wish there were like 2 more episodes, to really show how this treatment affected women, and how these male predators get in those positions in the first place. Nevertheless the series was concise with a rather satisfying and definitely beautiful ending. I enjoyed watching the friendships and rivalries blossom, and I love seeing women in “hero”-roles. The message at the end of the series was sad yet refreshing. While others criticize the “comedy” aspect, for me it was more about showing that no matter how big a tragedy is, people move on and mostly care about their own problems. All in all I would recommend and also rewatch it.
