Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I am not one for writing reviews but Sophia kinda reminds me of some aspects of me and she makes it very real. All her troubles and her behaviour in certain situations... sometimes they are far fetched but this is what makes this show great. It exacerbates a feeling that all of us had at some point. It a great story of hitting life hard and failing in some ways along the way. Just give it a try. These performances are extraordinary.

Here's the thing: the cinematpgraphy is good. But the writers somehow managed to create the most unlikable, annoying character ever on a show or movie (no, seriously) and more so, glorify her shitty behaviour.
Shoplifting isn't just some nasty thing that rebels do- it's an unacceptable behaviour that is most likely gonna cause troubles to the employees- just like her AND just like the ones who would later work for her company! Could this person ever be a good boss? i doubt it and the lawsuits filled against Nasty Gal in the past years prove it.
Moreover, the show misses a focal point here. It's another thing to tell a story and another thing to glorify someone's story. Everyone around her is made to look dumb and uncool- her boss in the shoe store, AN ENTIRE ART SCHOOL, the other vintage sellers on Ebay- everyone seems pathetic except the cool girl who doesn't give a shit about society, laws, other peoples feelings, politeness, moral values.
The way she treated her best friend, ultimately, says it all. She is so unlikable that you really hope she fails, she takes shit back. Also, for those interested for the story of the real Sophia- Nasty Gal has filled for bankruptcy, she stepped down form the role of CEO, more and more former employees accused the founder of not knowing how to run a successfull business and sales declined. So, maybe, it needs more than just to be savy and ruthless to win the #girlboss title. It needs at least a tiny bit of ethics. (just my opinion)

I agree with a few other reviewers, you need to watch past the third episode. Sophia is definitely a frustrating character but not detestable as I've seen her described. I thought it had great humor as well. I'm incredibly sad that they decided to cancel, I wanted to see more on what the outcome of her life and relationships.

OK, so you've watched a show about a 20 something year old girl. What did you expect?? That's the main problem she has during the entire show. It's such an easy show to watch, just to take the edge off from the freaking daily routine that's just so annoying. That it as it this and don't get so easily offended by how a FICTIONAL CHARACTER is built.
