I also thought this show reminded me a lot of weeds and breaking bad. Ironic that people writing reviews on this episode are saying the writers obviously don't know their audience. It should be the other way around. I completely knew this is the turn they were taking and they execute it well in many ways. I know it's been a long time since weeds and breaking bad I didn't think they would end up jacking two completely same plots for this season. In weeds Nancy botwin screws around to much and ends up a loose end. However the kingpin can not kill her because she reveals shes pregnant with his baby. Knowing once the baby is out, she is dead. The breaking bad plot became that Walter white was the chef and only person who could make the special blue crystal. Being as he's the only one who can produce it, even though he is a complete loose end they can't kill him until they can train someone to take his place. Good girls has done both those plots into one. Exact same just different characters. That being said it's been along time and it's not something that's been done over and over and I'd imagine these writers drew inspiration from both those shows. Little to big to be a nod. Hoping good girls can find a unique idea to now separate them from the rest. In regards to the current reviews this show is absolutely going in the right direction and only direction it can go. If moms were watching this as a giggle thinking it's about other bored moms, you were obviously wrong from the get go. I knew what this show was gonna lead to by the 4th episode of the first season
