Not sure how this show slipped under my radar for so long but Girls5Eva is amazing. We have talked about how women seem to have an expiration date in Hollywood. They are either young and hot, this normally caps out around 30. Or they are old and bitter and this doesn’t really start until 50+. So there is kind of this dead space for actresses where if they don’t create their own work, they don’t work. It’s wildly upsetting because there isn’t anything even remotely comparable for men. So the casting and message of Girls5Eva is needed on so many levels. Let’s get into it.

This show is incredible and if you haven’t seen Girls5Eva yet, you definitely need to. Very rarely do women in the film industry have the space to be over the age of 30 and this show not only allows them to exist and work but it allows them to be celebrated. We need more projects like this and we need them to be ongoing and sustained. The world can not afford any more amazing projects being canceled. Girls5Eva is a brilliant piece of media and it doesn’t ever try to be more than it is. It’s campy, it’s funny but it is also heartfelt and it does all of those things well.
