In the not-so-distant past, summer was known for its dearth of television.
Praise be Peak TV, that is not the case anymore.
Now, bring me a fountain Diet Coke and let metell you things.
What setsThe Bold Typeapart is that its remarkably of-the-moment.
Its a high-wire act thatthe show pulled off consistently in season one.
Dont worry,The Bold Typemakes that part really easy.
The three women met as assistants atScarletmagazine four years ago and it was BFF love at first sight.
But they also fight and disagree and say hurtful things.
Their friendship is messyandit is unconditional.
Know that I do not say this lightly:Meredith Grey and Cristina Yangwould be crazy proud.
From the pilot episode, Stevens, Dee, and Fahy seemed to have that BFF shorthand down.
The teasing, the laughter, the hugs it all feels so genuine.
They really do seem like theyre having the best time and it radiates through the screen.
Is there room for a fourth?
I promise to never wear a fedora!
Well, that child would be Jacqueline Carlyle, editor-in-chief ofScarlet.
She wants the best out of her employees.
She doesnt coddle, she pushes, but in a very supportive way.
She can cut a person down with an eyebrow raise.
She is so self-assured, she eventells Beyonce that shell call her back at a better time.
Even if you are not 25, it is a relatable and reassuring angle and its done so well.
There are compelling love triangles!
Also, its very sexy!
Dont discount the sexiness!
The season follows Kat as she navigates her first gay relationship all while dealing with Adenas visa issues.
These relationships really execute the gamut, is what Im saying.
(I mean, they do work at a fashion magazine.)
The montages!
You know those TV shows where youre like, Im crying right now!
Sometimes its joyful, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes empowering.
Give me women marching into rooms demanding things all day, every day!
Whatever the mood, the montages always seem to be tear-inducing.
Seriously, the music supervisor deserves a raise.
