Totally agree with everything you say.
I was especially annoyed by how bad Girlboss was. I started reading the book at a friend’s house and really got into it. It’s a fun rags to riches tale with a little bit of an edge. I was excited by the idea of a series.
I don’t know who designed the show so poorly but I can’t believe that Sophia Amorouso signed off on it.
If you look at pictures of Sophia Amorouso, you can see that that she’s a beautiful woman with a killer sense of style, pretty with a punk rock edge. Her fashion sense is extremely important to the story, obviously. Yet the actress they chose to portray her is mousy, irritating and completely lacking in style. WTF.
I started watching Gypsy, intrigued, but very quickly lost interest when the main character’s “dark side” was simply that she was interested in a lesbian romance with a barista. Are you kidding me? This is 2017. There is nothing innovative, shocking or dark about lesbianism and coffeehouses. Come on. Borrrring.
