The Girls

De: Bella Osborne

Narrado por: Julia Franklin

In the 1970s, the girls were best friends sharing a house and good times: Zara, the famous diva actor; Val, the uptight solicitor; Jackie, the wild child and Pauline, the quirky introvert. Now they're in their twilight years, and Zara suggests that they live with her to support each other through old age.

Initially, being housemates again is just as much fun as in their heyday. But then Zara reveals the real reason she asked them to move in with her, and suddenly things take a sinister turn.

As the women confront their demons, they come under the spotlight of the press, the police and an angry parrot. With their lives spiralling out of control, can they save their friendships and each other?

Drawn out and boring. Disappointing

I think the premise is good. Fun to think of old friends living together in retirement. But the pace is very slow and two of the three are very annoying. I considered bailing several times but slogged through to a very predictable ending.
