"The Girls on the Bus": A Max Original That Divides Opinion
TL;DR Summary
"The Girls on the Bus" on Max, inspired by Amy Chozick’s book "Chasing Hillary," is a female-forward workplace buddy comedy with soapy undertones, decent journalism portrayal, and mostly a crock as a political thriller. The show's likable dramedy is marred by superfluous thriller elements, but the strong casting and character dynamics make it enjoyable despite eye-rolling moments. The series follows four protagonists on the campaign trail in an alternate 2024, and while the potential conspiracy thriller-based second season is intriguing, the show's strength lies in the excellent performances and chemistry among the characters.
