Just as
Cruel Intentions was a young and modern take on
Les Liaisons Dangereuses, this new Freeform series, basically, is a young and modern take on
The Devil Wears Prada. It’s based, loosely, on another matriarch at another fashion magazine – former
Cosmopolitan editor in chief Joanna Coles – but with its interns and intrigue, its fashion and its tension, it’s basically another glossy, sexy take on
The Devil Wears Prada. (Presumably, it’s a lot more restrained than a porno parody version called
The Devil Wears Nada. Never seen it – but I have to admit, I love the title.) For a full review – of
The Bold Type, not
The Devil Wears Nada –
