This timely, overdramatic election series lacks even a hint of nuance

The intention behind The Girls On The Bus, which premieres March 14 on Max, is admirable. In it, four competing reporters in the throes of high-pressure political coverage form an unshakeable friendship while on the presidential campaign trail. That indeed has all the makings of a great message. The show’s timing, too, is incidentally perfect considering it’s also an election year in the United States.

The Girls On The Bus continually beats us over the head to remind audiences these women are opposites, whether it’s in terms of political views, financial status, family history, or approaches to their careers. Still, as they travel from city to city trapped in a claustrophobic bus and deal with major life events like marriage, pregnancy, breakups, and deaths, they begin to lean on each other in a moralistic “we can all get along if we try” lesson.
