Not only does The Bold Type merit those comparisons to Sex and the City and Younger], it courts them with intelligence and feeling. ... What puts everything across, even more than the likable performances and efficient storytelling, is the series’ understated authority. Without relinquishing the escapist pleasures that the audience wants, it convinces you that the people who make The Bold Type are grounding the story in lived reality, not just secondhand research.
Thankfully, The Bold Type, with its earnest story lines and thoughtful touches, remains a delight to watch.
As it stands now, Tiny Jane’s arc is a glaring sour note in an otherwise impossible confection: A heart-on-its-sleeve, good-for-you affair that’s also a glossy, giddy comic workplace drama. There may be the odd off issue, but we’re still ready to renew our subscription.
It’s fun, if this type of fun is your cup of tea. ... Kat especially makes for a charming, bold character--and the chemistry between the girls is neither saccharine nor unbelievable. It doesn’t have the streak of darkness that Freeform’s flagship “Pretty Little Liars” does. But The Bold Type makes up for it with a lot of go-girl vim that would make Helen Gurley Brown proud.
The series hikes through that strange territory where objectification and empowerment meet and are rebranded as modern feminism. ... The charm of The Bold Type is in the way it illustrates the role that these magazines play in the modern woman’s life, for better or worse.
The Bold Type in fact seems to have one type in mind--and it isn’t anyone with even a remotely plain face or a few extra pounds. Whatever points it labors to make are blunted by all its beautiful people.
Trite, shallow and completely unbelievable.
