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 – see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes and David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.
