by

The romantic series titled “The Girlfriend” is now live on Prime Video, giving viewers the opportunity to watch all its six episodes at their convenience.

The show, led by Robin Wright (who also serves as director) alongside Olivia Cooke, is based on Michelle Frances’ 2017 novel with the same title. Critics have lavished it with praise, and it boasts a remarkable 94% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Telegraph highly praised it as a “drama delightfully out of balance,” going so far as to say that it encapsulates every post on Mumsnet discussing overbearing mothers-in-law and heartless daughters-in-law, but amplified and placed within one of those grand London townhouses featuring a pool in the lower levels.

In a shining critique from The Hollywood Reporter, the captivating on-screen connection between Wright and Cooke was singled out as a standout feature. The intense moments where they lock horns were particularly praised, being referred to as “insanely intense.

Personally speaking, I found myself utterly captivated by the four-star rated show, “The Girlfriend,” as featured in RadioTimes. This intriguing series stands out not just for its gripping mystery, but also for its mischievous and sometimes amusing tone.

Similarly, The Guardian has advised viewers that The Girlfriend might be too intense for more conventional audiences due to its peculiar family relationships and startling disclosures.

During a conversation with The Guardian, Wright reminisced about some shocking instances in the movie “The Girlfriend”, many of which were rooted in its intricate love triangle.
