In 1970 award winning journalist Lynn Povich, along with 46 other women sued Newsweek for sex discrimination. It was a ground-breaking case which allowed women to take on the role of reporter and culminated in Povich becoming the first ever female senior editor for the magazine. In 2012 Povich wrote a book titled The Good Girls Revolt about the case and how it changed the face of journalism which has inspired a new eight episode fictionalised dramatization starting on 28 Oct. Grace Gummer takes the role of the late, great Nora Ephron who in real life left the magazine to pursue her career elsewhere before the case began. The pilot episode is already available to watch if you'd like to get a taste of what the series will be like.

Billy Bob Thornton takes on the role of Billy McBride, a lawyer searching for redemption in another Amazon Original Series Goliath (14 Oct) created by the David E Kelley (Boston Legal, Ally McBeal and LA Law) and Jonathan Shapiro. When McBride agrees to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against his old firm it leads him and his team to some dark and dangerous places. The LA set show also stars Dwight Yokam, Maria Bello, Olivia Thirlby and William Hurt.
