I've only seen two episodes thus far - in Season 2- and will change this review if seeing further episodes alters my opinion - but thus show revolves around six characters - four are married. The three women are truly detestable.
One cannot imagine why the boyfriends and husbands put up with them - except that the women are available for sex - and that is the thing about which the men obsess .
One unattractive woman (though on this board people are blind) sleeps around, becomes pregnant, tells the likely father (whom she says she loves and who obviously loves her) that she's traveling to London to have their wonderful baby - and arranges its killing!!! The father devotes the time until he next sees her - to redecorating their home in preparation for the baby. When he learns the truth, he's upset at the slaying for a few days and they happily get back together!!!!!! Hard as it is to imagine, perhaps if I loved a girlfriend enough, I would want to resume dating her even if she had with premeditation stabbed to death my parents or siblings- but it's very hard to imagine. Obviously it's impossible to imagine her killing my child - who's never had the opportunity to live. Could I ever fall asleep if she were near? Who knows what she might do!
Another woman, a wife, has ugly fantasies of sleeping with her husband's best friend - tells her husband she doesn't love him - confides it to her diary - and then tells the best friend. whom she kisses passionately When the husband learns this from her diary, the best friend confirms it (and lies about kissing her) - incredibly the husband wants to continue living with the wife who say she doesn't love him, and to remain friends with the best friend (who said "Hey, I don't love your wife though she loves me!" so it's ok apparently). It's the WIFE who doesn't want to sleep with her husband because he read her diary! LOL!
The third woman - attractive but rather cold - attacks her husband for being a workaholic, failing to spend time with their toddler. He is terminated - comes to realize he loves being home with the toddler for a few weeks, fails to look for a new job (though he lies and says he is) and rather than being pleased at his response to her sarcastic attacks, the wife gives him an ultimatum --- she will support him financially "but NOTHING ELSE" as his spouse. And she insists that he make a big dinner for her associates - though she knows he can't cook - presumably to mock and insult him when it comes off badly. A woman with an ugly ugly heart - whose routine coldness toward her husband is matched by his obsequious submissive behavior.
The single man - is as promiscuous as anyone you'll ever see in movies or television - needing sex as much as air - willing to sleep not only with best friends of his girlfriend, but to do so the day he's sleeping with the girlfriend. He lies to obtain sex, deeply hurts others' feelings to get sex from others, accepts back the killer of his child so he can have more sex. Perhaps some of the motivation is that he's nothing else in life- he's very dim mentally and works at a no-hoper job. What an ugly ugly personality.
The only likeable person is the husband whose wife loves another and fantasizes about him all day long - yet the husband is routinely insulted, and disparaged by men and women.
The series does however hold one's interest because it establishes one embarrassing situation after another - and the situations are sometimes skin-crawlingly funny - but it should have been called "Appalling Women" or "The Despicable 30s". What a series! It's far inferior to dozens of other TV comedies - and cannot compare with the best, including, He & She or Love on a Rooftop, Friends or Frasier, As Time Goes By or To the Manor Born, Good Neighbors or Taxi, Cheers or Seinfeld.
