“The Girls on the Bus” Is Pulling Into the Station

The Women on the Bus is an HBO present based mostly on the memoir Chasing Hillary, written by Amy Chozick, who coated Hillary Clinton’s political campaigns. Based mostly on the adverts I’ve seen, it appears to be like like HBO has turned that into extra of a horny, giggly romp than the rumination on journalism as a complete, and I’m undecided how I really feel about that? I haven’t learn the e-book, however I collect it’s pretty considerate. The adverts play extra prefer it’s Gray’s Anatomy on wheels. I will let CNN’s review tell it:

As very, very loosely tailored for TV by Chozick and Julie Plec (“The Vampire Diaries”), working with one other CW veteran in producer Greg Berlanti, “Women on the Bus” devolves right into a CW-style drama that often addresses the gradual demise of journalism on essentially the most perfunctory stage. 

And:

[G]iven the occasions and timing one may need nonetheless hoped for higher from “The Women on the Bus.” As a result of at a second when journalism would profit from any form of morale raise, the very last thing it wants is one other broadly drawn sequence that appears to place a highlight on the career’s ideas earlier than backing over them.

Hoo boy.
