“This one’s different…”
The Girlfriend premiered on Prime Video on September 10th 2025 with all six episodes available to stream now. The limited psychological thriller series (based on the novel of the same name) stars Robin Wright, Olivia Cooke, and Laurie Davidson. Each episode is approximately 50-52 minutes.
Laura becomes paranoid when her son’s new girlfriend, Cherry begins to get between them, taking it upon herself to investigate her to see what her real agenda is.
Here is the trailer:
The Girlfriend is the latest trashy thriller to show up on streaming, but does it do enough to be worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:

Two unhinged performances.
When I saw the cast for this, I knew it would be good. Robin Wright is exceptional and I’m a big fan of Olivia Cooke (Bates Motel). Both actresses excelled with what they were given. They were both diabolical and manipulative, making this such a fun popcorn watch.
The back-and-forth really worked here and Olivia Cooke’s wardrobe was to die for!

Addicting and easy to binge-watch.
There are only six episodes so you can effortessly watch this in a weekend. Each episode did just enough to keep me hooked and coming back for more. This series is very Lifetime-esque, but I love watching shows like this from time to time. You can just turn your mind off and indulge!
The Cons:

Loses direction at times.
Overall, I thought this series did a great job of sticking to its core material, but it did change gears a few times. The switch in perspective between Laura and Cherry was distracting at times, but I understood the point of it and eventually got used to it.
So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!
The Girlfriend is deranged, soapy, and over the top, but I loved every second of it!
If you enjoy guilty pleasure thrillers, this one is worth your time.

DON’T TAKE THE JOB…

It was only supposed to be temporary…but when Olivia Crewe accepts a new position that seems too good to be true, she soon discovers that twelve other girls previously had the same job as her. Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
My supernatural thriller Girl Number Thirteen is out now! I hope you enjoy!
Girl Number Thirteen is available here!
