A new HBO series called “The Girls on the Bus,” starring “Supergirl’s” Melissa Benoist, Carla Gugino, Christina Elmore, and Natasha Behnman, released its first two episodes on March 14, with weekly episode drops each Thursday. The hour-long drama covers four political investigative journalists and their journey toward friendship during the presidential election.

Based on Amy Chozicks novel, “Chasing Hillary,” the series is set to unfold how these women on the same campaign trail investigate the candidates. All four women follow the same candidate on press releases, appearances, and more.

The trailer teased sex scandals, queer relationships, drama, and of course, politics. So far, the show lives up to it!

The first episode aimed to hook viewers with Sadie McCarthy, played by Benoist, getting arrested. Sadie is the series’s main protagonist and a reporter at the New York Sentinal who tends to show her bias. Partially narrated by Benoist, the episode led to the events leading up to her character's arrest.

The show is filled with the harsh realities of modern journalism, shown through Sadie’s struggles to regain credibility after her meltdown on the previous campaign trail went viral.

Despite her working to rebuild her reputation as a respected journalist, bitter reunions and burner phones get in the way, leading Sadie into another downward spiral. Investigating a certain relic from her past, she becomes consumed by conspiracies, anxieties, and impulsive behavior.

Grace Gordon Green, played by Gugino, is Sadie’s coworker at the New York Sentinel. Grace is Sadie’s only confidant and friend. Grace herself does not play around and is a hard-hitting journalist unafraid to make her mark.

In episode three, we see Grace waver from professionalism, letting bias and personal matters interfere with her work.

Lola Rahaii, played by Behnman, is a social media influencer and citizen journalist. The other journalists on the trail dislike Lola as she is a social media reporter, categorizing her as a sellout and a typical millennial.

By episode three, Lola’s seemingly unshakable confidence wavers but returns when she bumps into someone who catches her eye.

While Grace is initially particularly critical of Lola, by episode two, they formed an unlikely bond, teaching each other about their different worlds of journalism. In episode three, Sadie and Lola become quite familiar with each other, with Sadie showing her the ropes of the press.

The show displays the trials faced by modern journalists who embrace social media as an outlet. Lola is excluded from her traditional journalist peers, and Sade, Grace, and Kimberly are the only ones reaching out to guide her.

Finally, Kimberly Kendrick, played by Elmore, is a right-wing journalist and rival of the three more progressive journalists. Freshly engaged and on the trail, she does not waste time with pleasantries towards journalists at competing papers. By the end of episode two, Kimberly shows her more progressive side.

Episode three also starts to push these four women closer together, slowly unveiling their inevitable sisterhood.

The series so far is riveting, with twists and turns in the first episodes, and is most definitely binge-worthy.

However, fans will have to wait for the new episodes to drop on HBO each Thursday until all ten episodes have been released. This week, more will unfold on how these journalists let their personal lives interfere and if Sadie is due for a scandal.
