... I really enjoyed this rendition for a couple reasons.
Firstly... As a little girl, I LOVED the original. It will always be a classic.
But I also always knew that it was VERY loosely based on the reality of the women's lives to make it more palpable for a male audience. For example... Geena Davis' character? A lesbian in real life. But whatever. I loved it anyway for what it was.
Similarly... I enjoy this show for what it is! I didn't give it 10 because the filming sometimes ripped me out of believing this is actually set in the 40's....
It is not the original. But I'm glad it isn't! So often remakes of things I loved let me down... Charlie's Angel's, Ghostbusters, and I was SO SCARED this also would. But it's well written... It's fun... It brought in some things that are more accurate than the original... It's funny... And it's worth watching. Give it a shot!
