'The Girls on the Bus': the failed revenge against the cliché of the hussy journalist. Inspired by the memoirs of a columnist for 'The New York Times', the series aspires to settle accounts with toxic archetypes by following four journalists covering a presidential campaign.
It is a light fiction that could have been a fine parody of journalism a la Veep, but preferred to get dangerously close to Shonda Rhimes' soap opera universe without the bed scenes. Sadie McCarthy (Melissa Benoist), a correspondent for the New York Sentinel (what would be the Times ), a thirty-year-old who must overcome her professional streak.
