'Good Girls' star Lidya Jewett claims she is "up for sinking a car in the pond or picking locks" in season 2
If you are looking for a show about unapologetically badass women who would go to any lengths to protect the ones they love while having a little fun along the way, look no further than NBC’s ‘Good Girls.’
Starring Christina Hendricks, Retta, Mae Whitman and Manny Montana, the crime comedy-drama is about three Detroit mothers who are tired of having things taken away from them and decide to take things into their own hands – by pulling off a supermarket heist and later getting involved in money laundering.
While the women manage to get away with everything without the knowledge of their families, that euphoria does not last too long. For Retta’s character Ruby Hill, especially, getting exposed means facing the disappointed look in the eyes of her loving husband Stan (Reno Wilson), a mall cop turned actual cop. Her reason to turn to a life of crime, much like that of her friends, is one that we could empathize with.
