Another Bailout - Girlfriend (2025)

I like Olivia Cooke (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, The Limehouse Golem,  Bates Motel, Slow Horses - Season 1, I'd forgotten these - Thoroughbreds, Pixie, Life Itself, Sound of Metal) but even she wasn't enough to make me watch more than two of this preposterous series. Its opening, a woman swimming in an indoor pool is suddenly jumped on - assaulted / sexually grappled - by her son?? That sets the tone and is enough of a warning right there. But no - we carry on and watch her inveigle her way into rich family's world, knowing she's up to no good.

I'm afraid it's more proof that people - whether wittingly or not - love a load of bollocks. Bollocks served this time by Amazon / MGM. Very annoying soundtrack selection, also.
