“Good Girls” is a captivating series that masterfully blends drama, crime, and dark comedy. Premiering on NBC on February 26, 2018, and running through April 30th, the show has already been renewed for a second season. Set in suburban Detroit, it follows the lives of three moms who, for various reasons, find themselves in dire financial straits. Driven to desperation, they turn to a life of crime, only for their heist to go horribly wrong when they discover their victims are hardened criminals. To make matters worse, the store manager recognizes one of the women and attempts to blackmail them. The show is a rollercoaster of emotions, with hilarious moments and heart-wrenching scenes that make us empathize with the characters. Here are the top 5 characters that make ‘Good Girls’ a must-watch show.
5. Dean Bolland – Matthew Lillard
Matthew Lillard brilliantly portrays Dean Bolland, Beth’s husband, and a character we all love to hate. As a cheating car salesman, he’s made a series of terrible financial decisions that ultimately push Beth to the brink and lead her to pull off the heist. While fans may despise Bolland, his presence adds a crucial element to the show.
4. Stan Hill – Reno Wilson
Reno Wilson plays Stan Hill, Ruby’s husband, and a fascinating supporting character. A former mall cop turned real policeman, Stan’s position creates an ironic twist as his wife becomes one of the “Good Girls” gone bad. The couple’s daughter, Sarah, suffers from a kidney disease, and the show explores the complex dynamics between parents on opposite sides of the law, both determined to provide their daughter with the costly medical care she needs.
3. Annie Marks – Mae Whitman
Annie’s tumultuous relationship with her terrible boss, Boomer, provides a source of humor that lightens the show’s more intense moments. Fans adore Annie for her quirky personality and her ability to make her children (and the audience) laugh, even when times are tough. Despite her struggles, she does her best to shield her kids from the harsh realities of life, and her humor and resilience make her a fan favorite.
2. Ruby – Retta
Although Ruby may not be as prominent in the series as her two female co-stars, her story is incredibly compelling. A loving mother and wife, she gets caught up in Beth’s wild plan to make some quick cash. With her daughter’s health as her top priority, Ruby must navigate her new life of crime while balancing her responsibilities at home. Her character’s journey keeps viewers rooting for her every step of the way.
1. Beth Boland – Christina Hendricks
Beth is a mother of four with a lying, cheating, and irresponsible husband, Dean. His deceit and poor decisions have pushed their family to the edge of financial ruin, leading Beth to turn to crime. Her best friend, Ruby, struggles to make ends meet as a waitress while raising money for her daughter’s kidney treatments, and Beth’s younger sister, Annie, is a single mom working as a supermarket cashier. With so many reasons to take drastic action, Beth decides it’s time to take matters into her own hands. Fans admire her initiative and determination, and while her criminal activities may not be morally justifiable, it’s clear that her heart is in the right place.
