What the heck was ABC thinking? Clearly they wanted to recreate whatever formula worked for the British original. Why wouldn't they? So what could go so horribly wrong?
From the moment it begins it is clear this is the anti-marriage show. It pushes a far left agenda and does it with all-too-serious acting to embarrassing dialog. Yunjin Kim is a personal favorite of mine, but she seemed befuddled by the script and her character. Her opening scene with Tom was so bad my jaw dropped and continued to drop as the show went on. "Oh! You're sick! You have cancer! Please make love to me!"
Every plot point is hammered home and every upcoming plot twist is being broadcast in advance. I knew Alyssa Milano (who's added weight was unsuccessfully hidden behind black clothing throughout) was going to cheat on her husband and bed her law partner the second they shared time on screen.
Does anyone not see a lesbian affair coming up between one of the all too pretty (aka Male Fantasy) house hunting lesbians and the younger sister? Why don't they just send out the obvious via Morse Code.
Poor Rochelle Aytes is saddled with the worst part. "Oh I am so sexy and drop dead gorgeous but my dead husband is haunting me by crank phone calls. He was the PERFECT husband so of course he would never cheat on me. Now excuse me while I continue to cancel dates with Jim Carey's clone so that I can cry with the girls." The writers on this turd deserve to be banned from Hollywood for life.
This type of show cannot work on Network television. It's too wanna-be steamy and sex filled for a commercial broadcast network where women have to sleep and have sex wearing their bras. This sort of content belongs on HBO or Showtime. Clearly the ABC suits want their very own Sex & The City in L.A. but instead they have The Naked Gun 4, From the Files of the Mistress Housewives. It's that bad.
