Would've been a nice season finale as it hints at a change of pace and some actual stakes moving forward. Since we'll (likely) never get answers to several huge questions, can't help but feel a bit letdown (through no fault of the show itself). A decent and very watchable series...

Why did good girls go so bad?
keisha_anne23 September 2021
This series was right up in the ranks of greats like weeds and ozark... until this season. What the $&@? Happened?
The entirety of season 4 was full of plot holes and half baked ideas that weren't that interesting to begin with. It felt like running out the clock without actually accomplishing anything, we seemed to be chasing a point, or series of points, that never came. No one seemed to be able to focus on what the point should even be, plot points were thrown around like confetti with no discernible rhyme or reason. What wasn't predictable was so only because it made no sense.
It was such a painful disappointment for such a strong series to die so pitifully.

Really enjoyable last season

I thought this season was great. More character development & interesting storylines for everyone. I wish there was another season or answers about Annie & Dean but the ending with Rio touching Beth's hair was quite fitting. The chemistry between those two made this entire show.
Disappointing

I realize the writers didn't know ahead of time that the series was getting canceled but, I believe they could have done a better job of ending it. This was a very disappointing finale. To me, nothing got resolved and nobody got a happy ending.
Great ending to the series!

Total letdown

This has to be the worst series ending ive ever witnessed. Strong season but ended like this. Looks like the writers just had to cut it short. Extremely disappointed Annie took the fall and Beth is unphased about her sister being in jail. So called wannabee gangster.
Good ending

Garbage ending

I don't care what anyone says that was awful writing for that last episode. Annie deserved better, Beth with that whole Stockholm for Rio is disgusting and the fans BEGGED for it for 4 seasons but I wasn't one of them. Ruby was the only one who had a decent end for the series. Dean deserved better even with all his flaws. Stan was just annoying this whole season. Beth doesn't even seem phased that her sister went to prison she was basically like "I screwed everyone over but meh i got money and a gangster I'm good."
What and why?

I can't really understand how it's possible to make a last episode this bad. Why does it happen? The viewers and fans of the show have watched 4 seasons and are paying customers, is this really how you thank them? Why do you want your fans dissapointed and irritated?
Shame to the writers Helen Childress and Ester Lou Weithers, you or if there is anyone else to blame should do something else, you cannot be proud over this.
When you need to Google and go back in seasons to understand what happened and there is still question marks, it's not good.
Beths finger prints on the gun could be explained (setting her up). Did Dean move out, did anyone go to Nevada, what happened to the gun, why send Annie to jail, why this lousy Nevada dream.... I could go on but it's not worth it.

An awful end to a series that sadly went downhill

Well, that was disappointing. I really enjoyed the first two seasons of Good Girls but boy did it decrease in quality over time. It feels like the show ran out of tricks by Season 3. Phoebe and Dave made things interesting for a bit but by the end, I had lost all interest in this show. And the finale SUCKS! Annie taking the fall for Beth? How does that make sense! Beth's been an anti-hero for a while now but she's not a compelling or likeable one anymore. So she survives getting shot (a common theme in this series) and everyone else has their lives ruined? What a letdown for everyone else's character arc.
It doesn't help that half of these characters shouldn't have survived this long already. I always felt Good Girls not having that element of risk would hurt it in the long run, and boy was I right. EVEN RIO SURVIVES SOMEHOW?! It's a messy and nonsensical end to a show that lost its bite a long time ago.

BORING

This season is SO BORING compared to the previous seasons. I was hoping to see something interesting and thrilling but I was disappointed. 16 episodes could have been summarized in 8 better episodes. Just don't waste your time.
DONT WATCH THE SEASON 4

Dragged myself through this awful season, hoping that everything would be roundup.
Nothing was, and worse, even more confused now. So many holes. Stupid and a complete waste of time watching.
Glad the show was cancelled. Won't be forced to watch another season of dross.

Terrible conclusion!

Wow. This has to go down as one of the worst endings to a show ever! Even gives the Dexter finale a run for it's money!
No good pay offs whatsoever, was so muddled and nonsensical (much like the entire final season) that I have come away feeling I have wasted my time in watching this show.
Genuinely gutted it turned out this way.
