‘Girlboss’ Trailer: 4 Things We Learned From Netflix Trailer
Every independent young female wants to make sure she has it all figured out, and the lucky few who do deserve a medal. Those that don’t need to become more resourceful—like the main character in the new Netflix series, “Girlboss.”
Netflix has officially dropped the trailer for the series, which begins streaming April 21, and the two-and-a-half minute long clip definitely dropped more than a few hints about what to expect from the show. Here are four things we learned from watching the trailer.
1. It’s Very Driven By Feminist Empowerment And Independence
While the overall story seems to follow a concept of a rags-to-riches tale, it also relies heavily on female empowerment as it follows Sophia (Britt Robertson) while she rebuilds her life following a catastrophic crisis which affects her employment status. Whether she is expressing feminist independence as she tries to find her way, or while she simply goes about her daily life, the implication is clear. Sophia doesn’t need anyone but herself to meet her goals.
2. There’s Some Surprising Lessons For Pretty Much Everyone
The story won’t just have lessons for millennials and young women. Everyone will get something out of this show, which is evidenced in the opening seconds of the trailer. After Sophia haggles the price of a jacket down to $9.00 from $12.00, she offers free business advice to the shop owner about knowing what his merchandise is actually worth. If more moments like that one pop up throughout the show, everyone will walk away a little wiser.

3. There Are A Ton Of Guest Stars And Cameos
While some may recognize Robertson from her roles in the Nicholas Sparks movie adaptation of “The Longest Ride,” or “Under The Dome,” she and other members of the cast aren’t all among bigger names in Hollywood. However, that doesn’t mean familiar faces won’t pop up from time to time, like RuPaul and “Breaking Bad” actor Dean Norris. Even if the story doesn’t interest you much, the attempts to identify the actors in cameo roles could be entertaining enough.
4. It’s Going To Be Seriously Relatable
While a lot of different audiences could get something out of the show, it will be one which resonates with younger women who are still trying to figure out their own lives. Every day can be a struggle to make it in a world which seems determined to keep pushing them down, but figuring out how to rise above the challenge is a huge lesson that most get the chance to learn. Plus, anyone who has moved out of their parents’ house and struggled, only to have said parents then offer up the solution of coming back home, will appreciate the show’s nod to parents always thinking it’s the answer that solves every problem.
Episodes of “Girlboss” begin streaming Friday, April 21 on Netflix.
