“The Bold Type” will leave the Prime Video catalog on June 30. This series, as pop as it is refreshing, will delight those nostalgic for “Sex & The City”.
The Bold Type, translated here as “Of those who dare”, is a series broadcast in the United States between 2017 and 2021, and available here on Prime Video.
Loosely inspired by the life of the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, it follows the personal and professional adventures of three New York friends (played by Katie Stevens, Aisha Dee and Meghann Fahy) who realize their dream by working for Scarlet, a women’s magazine to success.
But while they try to find their place within this glamorous and merciless universe, they will also have to fulfill themselves as young women, between love stories, betrayals and the dictates of social networks.
A series about millennials
At the end of the 90s, Darren Star imagined the adventures of four New York friends who discovered the ups and downs of love and professional life in the Big Apple. Almost 20 years later, The Bold Type offers us the same approach, but from a millennial perspective.
Exit Carrie, our new heroine is called Jane and just like Miss Bradshaw, she draws inspiration from her own experiences and those of those close to her to write articles on themes relating to sex and romantic relationships.
Resolutely feminist, The Bold Type will address themes that particularly concern women, ranging from harassment to problems related to sexuality or the body in general.
Without falling into pathos or moral lessons, it is above all positive, caring and sometimes funny too, thanks to these three heroines who support each other in their happiness as in their misfortune. A feel-good series that warms the heart.

And you just have to look at its rating on AlloCiné to understand that The Bold Type hit the mark with thousands of spectators. With an average of 4.1 out of 5, it was praised for its modernity (we talk in particular about social networks and their impact on real life), the themes handled brilliantly and its lightness.
If you want to get started and catch up on the series before it leaves the catalog on June 30, know that it has 52 episodes spread over 5 seasons. And they are all worth a look!
