07.08.17Netflix We watched and liked the Netflix series so thought this would be worthwhile. It mostly is. It's definitely in the vein of informative-rather-than-entertaining in that there's not much filmmaking technique on display here. Lots of talking heads intercut with old footage. Groan-worthy sad guitar when it's time to cry, etc. But it does what it needs to do... You catch up/learn about the real ladies, you learn how the show came together, how it was produced, why it died. You also see a nice reunion segment of all the oldies back together again. I got what I wanted out of it; i'm not sure what else there was for the movie to say so I'm glad it didn't stretch out or whatever. Good time.
