  • Callie and Mariana supporting one another was great
  • The way they introduced us to the characters was so creative
  • The pacing was spot on
  • I thought it was great how they realistically showed what it’s like to live in LA
  • The way they show the different jobs was a great comparison
  • The lines this episode are great
  • How they showed what it’s like to be a woman in a room full of men at a tech industry
  • The family dinner scene was fun; it was interesting to see everyone’s opinions and all of them getting along
  • The Mariana and Callie heart-to-heart scene was the best part of this episode.
  • The ending was sweet and funny

Things I didn’t like:

  • They jumped around from scene-to-scene a little too much
  • Why can’t shows stop using a love triangle as a plot-line; it’s so boring
  • There were too many flashbacks to the night before

Overall, Good Trouble is an amazing show that talks about serious issues in a fun and creative way. This show is a good fit for anyone who wants to watch something that makes them feel as if their personal concerns are being heard. While there are some technical issues among the construction, like cutting from one scene to a different scene too much, in the end, it has a lot to offer for anyone who’s willing to watch it.
