"The Girls on the Bus: Drama, Politics, and Shirtless Scenes"

The Girls on the Bus, a new series on Max, follows four journalists covering the Democratic primary, offering a mix of politics, heart, humor, and relationship drama. Developed from a chapter in Amy Chozick’s book, the show features a fictional primary to provide an escape from real-life politics. Showrunner Rina Mimoun emphasizes the character-driven nature of the series, likening it to a workplace show about a found family. Julie Plec and Amy Chozick discuss the show's Berlanti heart and hope it offers a fun, hopeful version of real-life politics.

"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.
