"The Girls on the Bus": Amy Chozick's Journey from Journalism to Drama

Amy Chozick, co-creator of the Max series "The Girls on the Bus," explains why the show, inspired by her book "Chasing Hillary," is set in a fictional world with made-up politicians and media outlets instead of exploring real-life challenges. The show, a light dramedy, follows four female political journalists covering a presidential election and aims to be an escape from the dark and divisive nature of real politics. Chozick discusses her transition from journalism to TV writing, the focus of the TV project, and the challenges female journalists face. She also reflects on the public's perception of journalists and her nostalgia for the newsroom.

"The Girls on the Bus": A Dramatic Retelling of Hillary Clinton's Campaign through the Eyes of Journalist Amy Chozick

Former New York Times White House correspondent Amy Chozick, who covered Hillary Clinton's presidential campaigns, has turned her experiences into the fictional TV series "The Girls on the Bus," now available on Max. Inspired by her memoir "Chasing Hillary," the show follows four female journalists covering a fictional presidential campaign and celebrates female friendship while addressing social issues. Chozick's mentor, the late David Carr, played a significant role in shaping her career and is portrayed in the series. The show's producers aimed to create new stories rather than revisit specific elections, and Chozick sees the series as an opportunity to work through her lingering concerns about her coverage of the 2016 election.

"The Girls on the Bus": A Max Original That Divides Opinion

"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.
