The Bold Type (on Netflix)

[paniniswapx3]

Anyone watching?

I'm totally loving it - women supporting women and no one being awful, but going through the ups and downs of 20-somethings in NYC. Beautiful clothes and people!

I'm not keen on all the sex as some of the lesbian scenes seem gratuitous and made for men but overall I love this show!

I tried this a few weeks ago, not generally my sort of thing at all.
Ended up bingeing all 4 seasons, thoroughly enjoyed it. I found the lack of bitchiness and their mutual support quite uplifting.

[toucancancan]

Yes it's like a younger, modern Sex and the City.

[paniniswapx3]

I think it's the lack of bitchiness that I love the most - there's no 'baddie' as such and everyone (including Jaclyn) is there to help and support one another and make the best possible magazine they can. Shit still happens but they love and support each other as best they can through things. Currently watching about Jane's mastectomy and Sutton's miscarriage - so good!

[DariaMorgendorffer]

I liked it! Binged it all.

[DaisyChainsForever]

I didn't think i'd like it, but i ended up watching all of it very quickly! Really hope there's another season.

[DariaMorgendorffer]

The fifth season is the last, and only 6 episodes
I think! It's airing in the US now, but not sure when it'll be available in UK.

[SpeakFriendAndEnter]

I binge watched too and really enjoyed it! I was sad when I'd watched all of the episodes!

Oh no, that's too soon for me! Need another few seasons!

I’m watching this with my DD. Agree supportive women is great, gratuitous sex scenes not so much. Don’t get me started on the unlikely scene where a love egg gets stuck and rather than go to A&E/a nurse you get your friend to fish it out 🤢

[Cheeseandlobster]

I love this too. Especially Jaclyn who is THE best boss. I do think Jane tries to make a lot of things about her though. She started to grate on me in series 4

[SatsumaFan]

Oh FML I just clicked on this as have just started S2 and scrolled down to see massive spoilers! Thanks OP Maybe ask MNHQ to add SPOILERS to your title??

[mnahmnah]

I loved it, even though I’m much older than their target audience I’m sure! It’s a great update to sex and the city.

[Shmithecat2]

I love it. I want Jaclyn's whole wardrobe. Although I'm sick of Kat's constant navel gazing, and if Sutton doesn't want Richard, I'll have him. And yes, I'm pretty sure I'm too old to be watching it.

[EasterIssland]

I have binged it. And I’d be happy to have Richard as well :)

[paniniswapx3]

Agreed - I'll take Jaclyn's wardrobe and Richard as a partner and all will be well

I know this is a proper zombie thread, but I'm bumping in case anybody might like to know that all five series of The Bold Type are now available on iplayer - it's showing from the start on BBC3 🥳

I've never seen the fifth one so I'm very happy 😊

[Gothambutnotahamster]

Me too - i didn't even know there was a 5th series. Think I'll rewatch from Season 1 again!

[SocksAndTheCity]

@Gothambutnotahamster

Me too - i didn't even know there was a 5th series. Think I'll rewatch from Season 1 again!

I'm doing exactly that! I'd forgotten how good it is, even allowing for the odd patchy episode.

The fifth series is the end AFAIK

[SatsumaFan]

Ooh thanks for this! I binged series 1-4 during Covid and didn't realise 5 was now out in the UK finally!

[Netaporter]

Ooh 5th season? Assuming not on NF? I’m all over that!

[tennissquare]

Yes thanks for the tip, I'm watching Series 5 now, reminds me of my binge in 2021!

[BlessedBeTheFruitCake]

Ah brilliant. I watched this originally on Netflix but can’t remember how much I watched and of course it’s not on there now. I’ll rewatch it all on iPlayer.

[SatsumaFan]

How's everyone going with watching the final series? I finished it last night and shed a little tear (blame the hormones!). It was so so cheesy and probably the worst season yet, but still a nice easy watch and I'll miss the fashion!

[Netaporter]

Also finished. Knew that Jane was going to turn it down and shouted at the telly 😂

[SatsumaFan]

😂 Yeah, she had an immediate "look" that she gave, didn't she? Happy for Cat tho, absolutely the better choice. Not sure about the Sutton story line... It was all so cheesy and trite?!
