Entertaining series tackles a discordant musical history
The Guardian
|November 01, 2025
As a pop-cultural moment, the turn-of-the-millennium girl group boom hasn’t been flooded with solemn analysis.
Wisely, this entertaining three-part documentary doesn’t attempt to rectify that. Instead, Girlbands Forever reminisces in a manner that is in equal parts meaty and frothy. And, yes, it is often about as stomach-churning as that combination sounds.
At the heart of this series - a followup to 2024’s Boybands Forever - is a lot of old ground. Viewers of a certain age will know the trajectories retraced here - the head-spinning arrival of Spice Girls, the scrappy ascent of Atomic Kitten, the lineup rotation of Sugababes, the talent-show conception of Little Mix and the dominant themes of tabloid hell, merciless management, relentless touring and intraband resentments.
