The Bold Type (2017–2021)
7/10
For a show that focuses so much on privileges, they sure skip easily over "pretty privilegie".

I loved the show BUT, I think a lot of women got slightly annoyed when they used themselves as "normal women" in the campaign instead of using models. The girls in the show benefits hugely from pretty privilegie, and pretty privilegie is one the biggest privileges you can have. The fact that they tried to act like they didn't have it, was really off. It was a great opportunity to talk about society's beauty standards and they missed it.

They covered pretty much every other privilege. But there's a huge difference in society in how we treat people (based on looks) and I would have loved if they made an episode where we talked about the messed of standards and the awful way some people are treated.
