THEn America they have Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, us Mara Maionchi, Sandra Milo and Orietta Berti. Which, in addition to being three instead of two, in Those good girls – on the road program from tonight on Sky at 21.15 – they’re even nicer than Grace and Frankie. Oh yes, sorry but that’s it.
Well, what these three do together that add up – as Mara Maionchi says – total 240 years? They go on a trip to Spain, a destination not so foreign but not so familiar. From Milan to Madrid, and then off to Seville, the Tabernas Desert, Granada and Valencia, accompanied by Alessandro Livi, half Italian and half Spanish hunk with the role of bodyguard, handyman, driver. And that during the episodes becomes a sort of fourth element of the recipe, the toy boy that retirement should guarantee to every citizen.
In short, a nice holiday organized, but as it is done today: immersive. Between customs, people to get to know and small challenges. Even with a mission to accomplish (to be immortalized with a selfie). Because the goal is to see Mara Maionchi, Sandra Milo and Orietta Berti interact and have fun facing the news; confessing thoughts and chasing jokes. This matters.
After all, having ascertained that Spain is beautiful, we would have seen the videos of these three even if made in a barracks of the ring road.

Those good girls they go to a metal club
The idea of the “with old women” program she came to Maionchi (notoriously brutal); to find the format on Sky. Which obviously didn’t tell them the destination, he only made them arrive at Linate with a passport (Berti is the one with the most suitcases; Milo is the only one who has thought of evening dresses “because you never know”). The first episode begins like thisin an airport lounge with the ground hostess saying “ok, you’re going to Sydney.” Sandra shoulder bag but it’s a joke. The destination is actually Madrid.
In flight the jokes flockand disasters: Berti loses his identity card (“He took out 5 phones”, underlines Mara), he is continually hungry and “thank goodness I have false eyelashes, so I close my eyes and I sleep”. The living room is in a house in the centerwith services as if you were in a hotel, but Sandra is disheartened: she doesn’t want to do things she does at home too, make the bed, cook, “otherwise what kind of holiday is it?”. Wrong her.
Orietta then describes the character of Fellini’s muse: «she is like a child – she says -, she is not a diva but she lived through the golden age of cinema and for her there must always be magic». The fact is that with gourmet tapas downloaded by Alessandro in the kitchen, Milo immediately takes heart. And she is the first to make up her toilet to go to the Trash Canan alternative metal club where the three have a mission to accomplish.
Between shoving and ugly faces, deafened by music made with a single chord, Orietta is the one who is most at ease. She is basically among colleagues, to whom she reminds that, «with One thousand has released 5 platinum records », and two,« that the blonde lady is so much fairy she was Fellini’s lover“. The punk who takes the confession nods, however his face is the same as that of a cow in front of a train. After that, it’s time to go inside.
Here is the tone of Those good girls. Wheelhouse Maionchi, Milo in tow but capable of poetic intuitions from stopping the traffic to introject them, Berti practical defender attentive to the result. Three different women, three Lost in translation who know how to communicate very well.

In the next episodes
After Trash Canfor Mara Maionchi, Sandra Milo and Orietta Berti the challenges are shopping at the market for a special dinner, meeting a bizarre superheroa stay in a religious brotherhood and of course flamenco. As a first-person performance. Space also for Spaghetti Westernto stop in a spa because you can be Gwyneth Paltrow even at 80 years oldto a flight in a hot air balloon.
He concluded the 6 episodes of about 60 minutes will the three friends return for another trip? It is not excluded, they say from Sky. The destinations are many, and the friendship born in Spain should still be told. Provided that Berti doesn’t do loads of laundry at night to allay anxiety, ea Sandra is occasionally granted a breakfast at the hotel. Thus, even without a full overnight stay.
