Wife and i Started watching the new HBO show "The Girls on the Bus".
It's about 4 women journalists from different news outlets covering a democratic primary from city to city leading up to a presidential election.
Main character is this a millenial chick who's a journalist that works for a legacy left leaning NYT type of newspaper. She's idealistic and has Hunter S Thompson talking to her now and again as her conscience.
Carla Gugino plays an investigative journalist with a Centrist Cable News outlet, The sista that plays Condola from "Insecure" is the wealthy Black Conservative who works for "Liberty News" a right wing Fox News type station. shes ambitious and upwardly mobile but is constantly frustrated working with those racist CAC's, and A chubby Persian chick is the GenZ, sexually fluid social media influencer covering the progressive/socialist candidate.
The candidates for the race are: a wealthy former Action movie star, an established Legacy female senator, an Elderly former Governor, a young, blue collar Small town Mayor, and a Young, Hip, AOC type progressive. They're all put together to cover the primary from city to city and interact with each other and find common ground despite their different beliefs.
It has elements of the Newsroom, The Good fight etc as far as political conversations and timely subject matter..but has the pacing, humor and kind of soapy drama elements of a Shonda Rhimes show. It's well done imo and we've been enjoying it so far
