Calling the shots
Criminal suburban moms are back in season 2 of ‘Good Girls’
By Joy Doonan TV MediaShowrunner Jenna Bans has been praised for her forthright portrayal of fed up, angry women in “Good Girls.” Bans came up with the idea for the NBC dramedy during the 2016 U.S. election, and she wanted to capture the pervasive sense of injustice that many people seemed to be feel ing. The producer and writer, whose previous credits include “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal” and “The Family,” recalls in an inter view with The Lily that she told her mother she “wanted to write something that was fun and en tertaining, but also empowering, and speak to those women out there who feel like they’ve been backed into a corner.”
deliver both a tight-knit on-screen relationship and the steely deter mination necessary for their char acters, Bans has accomplished just that. An unapologetic comedy about three downtrodden moth ers who take their fates into their own hands, the show has been declared timely and authentic by many critics. A year after “Good Girls” first premiered, its anxious ly anticipated second arrives this week, picking up where season 1 left us hanging. The first episode of season 2 airs Sunday, March 3, on NBC.
three earnest working moms who are at the ends of their ropes, struggling with finan cial strain and a host of personal troubles. Beth Bo land (Christina Hendricks, “Mad Men”) has mentally checked out of her marriage to cheating husband Dean (Matthew Lillard, “Scream,” 1996). Dean, meanwhile, has led their family into debt that leaves them on the verge of los ing their house. Beth’s sister, An nie (Mae Whitman, “Parent hood”), is a single mom strug gling to make ends meet for her 11-year-old daughter, while being sued for custody by her ex. Their close friend, Ruby (Retta, “Parks and Recreation”), is a chronically mistreated waitress desperate for the funds to treat her young daughter’s kidney disease.
At their wits’ end, the women decide that being law-abiding suburban moms is not working out for them, and realize that no one can dig them out of their respective holes but themselves. They plot to rob the supermarket where Annie works, but when they end up with far more money than they anticipated, they find
Though the raucous intrigue of the plot is enough to suck you into a TV binge fest, “Good Girls” is more than just a heist comedy. The characters make conscious decisions to break away from their old lives, and they let everyone in their paths know that they will no longer be taken advantage of. When Annie’s boss figures out

These are three thoroughly ordinary women who, faced with mounting abuse, decide they would rather join the criminal underbelly of their suburban world than remain on its surface with the odds eternally stacked against them. In an interview with Variety, Hendricks said that it’s important to her that the show resonates with the cultural mood surrounding the #MeToo movement. “It’s not preachy,” she noted, “it’s understanding and accepting, and still ... in complete support of how

Preheat the ovens, work out the palates and sharpen those knives: globally renowned chef Gordon Ramsay is back for another season of his hit cooking competition. Nope, not the one where he yells and swears at the contestants, and not the OTHER one where he yells and swears (albeit a little bit less). We’re talking about the one where he’s actually — dare I say it — nice.
“MasterChef Junior” returns to Fox for a seventh season on Tuesday, March 5, with the celebrated culinary artist at the helm. The premiere brings together 24 of the nation’s most talented home cooks between the ages of 8 and 13 for a cooking competition like no other, filled with
challenges that would make even professional adult chefs sweat.
Chef Aarón Sánchez, who serves as one of the main judges in the adult “MasterChef,” joins Ramsay and chef Christina Tosi as a judge this season, after previously appearing as a guest judge a few times back in season 5. Together, the three of them not only sample the dishes that the pint-sized contestants prepare and decide which one gets eliminated, but also mentor the kids and help them reach new heights in the kitchen.
These kids aren’t exactly novices in the kitchen — in fact, they’re anything but. Their palates, knife skills and knowledge of ingredients are on a level that puts most adults to shame, and the dishes that they put out week after week are often good
enough to appear on a fine dining menu.
Of course, the judges aren’t afraid to let the kids know when their food just doesn’t cut it. This is a cooking competition, after all, and even the smallest mistake can send a contestant packing. “MasterChef Junior,” though, is just warmer than its parent, and the judges are more understanding of the kids’ mistakes, and are always ready with helpful advice and a warm embrace instead of a biting observation or a lip-curling scowl.
Ramsay’s TV empire is vast, but “MasterChef Junior” definitely holds a special place among his cooking competitions, thanks to its warmth and sincerity. The latest season premieres Tuesday, March 5, on Fox.
