Here's why NBC put a non-canceled show on Netflix — and why you should be watching 'Good Girls'
One of the stealth high points of last year's TV season was the launch of "Good Girls" on NBC, a show that garnered decent numbers if little buzz.
That surprised me, because it's precisely the kind of show that should have generated a response on social media - both funny and deeply serious in what it had to say about female friendships, bad relationships, good relationships, money worries, the overwhelming work of motherhood and everything in between.
A few weeks ago I started seeing a number of people tweeting about the show - even though it hadn't been on the air for 10 months. Why? Because as of January, the first season is available on Netflix. Suddenly people who had been unaware of the show (or simply missed it among the deluge of other shows) were watching. And liking it. A lot.
Season 2 returns Sunday on
