Crime pays, until it doesn't.

Where to watch →

What starts as a desperate, half-baked heist becomes a slow-burn descent into laundering, gangs, and increasingly bad decisions.

Good Girls works because it never lets you sit comfortably with what these women are doing. One minute it’s sharp and funny, the next it tightens into something genuinely tense, before pulling the rug again with moments of surprising emotional weight.

Underneath the crime and chaos is something more grounded: a sharp look at financial pressure, quiet desperation, and the illusion of control in suburban life. The picket fences don’t hide much here—they just make the cracks more obvious.

It’s addictive in that dangerous way where every solution creates a bigger problem, and you can’t look away as it all slowly spirals.
