    Yes, Sophia's character is annoying and eccentric, but after watching halfway through the season and especially at the end, you can see why she is like that and how deep and humorous this show actually is. In one of the last episodes, Sophia visits her mom who left her when she was twelve. It was kind of confusing how they acted like they were just friends that haven't seen each other in a while, and this kind of just happened without any explanation, but in this episode you see what sophia's mother is like and instantly see her resemblence to sophia. Her mother has a big ego and bad temper just like sophia and even sophia admits that she really is her mother's daughter. Sophia is portayed as heartless mainly becuase she doesn't express any emotion besides anger. Overtime, you see her character grow as a person. She even flies all the way to a former nemesis to make ammends. Yes, at first she is selfish and egocentric and acts like a child, but she learns to swallow her pride or lack there of and build strong connections with people and admit her faults. Despite what others say, this show was actually inspiring and not like I thought it would be. It is extremely hilarious and the casting was done extremely well. Britt Robertson does an amazing job. Even though her acting may seem forced at first, it gets better. I'm sad Girlboss didn't get renewed for another season but I encourage everyone to give it a chance because it has a very inspiring underlying message.

    I saw a trailer on this series yesterday, today I have finished the first series and I'm dying for more, as a 22 year old woman finding her feet I find this series so relateable. Sophia is a quirky personality who on one hand doesn't care what anyone thinks about her nut on the other hand seeks approval from those she loves.I honestly can't wait for the next series to come out!

    Here's the thing: the cinematpgraphy is good. But the writers somehow managed to create the most unlikable, annoying character ever on a show or movie (no, seriously) and more so, glorify her shitty behaviour. Shoplifting isn't just some nasty thing that rebels do- it's an unacceptable behaviour that is most likely gonna cause troubles to the employees- just like her AND just like the ones who would later work for her company! Could this person ever be a good boss? i doubt it and the lawsuits filled against Nasty Gal in the past years prove it. Moreover, the show misses a focal point here. It's another thing to tell a story and another thing to glorify someone's story. Everyone around her is made to look dumb and uncool- her boss in the shoe store, AN ENTIRE ART SCHOOL, the other vintage sellers on Ebay- everyone seems pathetic except the cool girl who doesn't give a shit about society, laws, other peoples feelings, politeness, moral values. The way she treated her best friend, ultimately, says it all. She is so unlikable that you really hope she fails, she takes shit back. Also, for those interested for the story of the real Sophia- Nasty Gal has filled for bankruptcy, she stepped down form the role of CEO, more and more former employees accused the founder of not knowing how to run a successfull business and sales declined. So, maybe, it needs more than just to be savy and ruthless to win the #girlboss title. It needs at least a tiny bit of ethics. (just my opinion)

    'Girlboss' is not a good TV series. The dialogue is poorly written, the characters are not likable, and it mostly ignores developing its premise (the online business) in favor of generic sitcom relationship plots. However, as bad as 'Girlboss' is as a whole, two things do stand out. The first is the filming/set and camera angles, which were nicely done and at times very creative. The second standout in this show is Britt Robertson, who plays the lead character, Sophia. I had never thought much of Britt's acting before seeing this show, but her work as Sophia was fantastic. Britt truly became the character and was not only able to make the slightly ridiculous Sophia believable. But, Britt was also able to execute the very difficult job of garnering sympathy from the audience for the unlikable Sophia when needed. Britt really melded into her role. And if 'Girlboss' wasn't such a terrible/forgettable show, I'd say her role as Sophia was one the most memorable TV performances in a while.
