The Girlfriend comes so dangerously close to falling face-first into the campy trash bin that the modicum of restraint it does demonstrate results in a tease that makes the series even more entertaining. Don’t get me wrong, it definitely dips its toes in that bin, but you’ll be having too much fun with all the twistiness to notice. Particularly great is the story structure that shows both Cherry’s (Olivia Cooke) and Laura’s (Robin Wright) perspective of the same events, which gives both actresses the opportunity to create two vastly different personas that will keep your loyalties in question. Overall, a delightfully sinister snack of a series.
