Putting together a magazine is not an easy task, requiring a lot of teamwork to finish the job and get the publication on newsstand shelves. That's why the staffers responsible for producing global women's magazine Scarlet lean on one another as they try to find their own voices. While working together to publish each issue of the periodical, they struggle to find their identities, manage friendships and find love. The drama series is inspired by the life of longtime magazine editor and executive Joanna Coles, who serves as an executive producer.

Critics Consensus

The Bold Type presents an aspirational yet refreshingly realistic portrait of young women's careers, friendships and love lives in a big city.

Maybe I loved it more than I wanted to admit to myself, despite Jane's career. It's just very fun and full of colors and girls and laughter and light and power lesbians who are for some reason heterosexual.

It's the exact kind of joy filled, bubbly, girl power-infused YA drama that I'll never get tired of.

Viewers of The Bold Type get to see what an open relationship entails, sans the heavy-handed moralizing that normally accompanies the topic.

The Bold Type veers into cheesy territory often and the characters are as impossibly glossy as the magazine itself, but it's fun. It's also sex positive and non-judgmental.

The show is still touching on a lot of on-point subjects such as diversity, inclusiveness, racial and cultural identity, fake news, responsible reporting, our obsession with all things tech-all relevant conversations in our current milieu.

The writing is decent, but my two issues are with the prevalence of random sex with random people, but that's to be expected, I suppose (*sigh* because when you can't write, you put in a sex scene). My issue is the blatant leftist tilt with not even an ATTEMPT to be balanced in any way. It just never ends. The episode about guns was particularly irritating. The accusation was that having a gun is about holding on and control, and yet Jane was the one who was being COMPLETELY controlling, throwing tantrums and threatening, and then being completely patronizing in her fake "understanding" of Sutton's reason for having the gun (which is, BTW, not why most people have guns). It was so fake and disingenuous and just adds to the ignorance of the millennials who feign knowledge on topics of which they know nothing. If it wasn't for shows like this, the extreme leftism wouldn't gain a foothold, because it would be countered with informed logic and debate.

Bunch of girls who always land on their feet. Think charmed without the book of shadows. These girls have an accessories closet.
