Why Women Kill (Paramount+) C: Marc Cherry, S: Lucy Liu, Ginnifer Goodwin, Kirby Howell-Baptiste


CURRENT SEASON: 1 (10 episodes)

DESCRIPTION:
(from CBS's press release, June 2019) CBS All Access announced today that its new original series WHY WOMEN KILL, a darkly comedic drama created by Marc Cherry ("Desperate Housewives," "Devious Maids"), will premiere on Thursday, August 15. Episodes of WHY WOMEN KILL's 10-episode first season will be available on demand weekly on Thursdays exclusively for CBS All Access subscribers. WHY WOMEN KILL details the lives of three women living in three different decades: a housewife in the '60s, a socialite in the '80s and a lawyer in 2019, each dealing with infidelity in their marriages. The series will examine how the roles of women have changed, but how their reaction to betrayal... has not. WHY WOMEN KILL stars Lucy Liu, Ginnifer Goodwin and Kirby Howell-Baptiste. The cast includes Jack Davenport, Sam Jaeger, Reid Scott, Alexandra Daddario, Sadie Calvano, Leo Howard, Alicia Coppola and Katie Finneran.
First episode is available. It was decent but they've probably locked me in with (a potentially naked?) Alexandra Daddario.

Having watched the trailer I'll say this, it has lotsa pretty colors. It's like I'm watching Thor Ragnarok. I'm going to check it out.

Watched the first episode, mainly because it had Liu and Goodwin. It was OK so far. But I didn't know Alexandra Daddario was in it, sooo BONUS!

First episode is available to stream on IMDB tv

So I binged the first season and it's a great little series. Lucy Liu is the standout, because her character is so outrageous. I was laughing out loud during the scene at the ball in one of the early episodes. It's supposed to be Mexican themed but the waitstaff are wearing Flamenco shirts with the puffy sleeves. She makes a comment along the lines of, "They still speak Spanish south of border, right?" Her husband responds with something like, "Not south of the border in Spain, unless you mean France."

It's on Paramount+ -- the first season looks terrific and it's only HD, so that was surprising. Season 2 has the first two episodes up and are in 4K DV, but I will wait until all episodes are live before I binge.

Renewed for season 3: https://tvline.com/2021/12/15/why-wo...aramount-plus/

Season 2 was very good. I would recommend it if you have P+ and like Marc Cherry's style of humor. Many twists along the way and it never got boring. Very entertaining overall.

Canceled despite the previous renewal. No season: https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/why...us-1235307752/

I wonder if this relates at all to reports here that The Challenge All Stars and Real World Homecoming might not be continuing. Is Paramount+ trying to cut costs? Did they blow all their money Halo and Kurtzman Trek?

I might be the only one here who watched both season, but they were both very good. A very enjoyable and light-hearted (despite the subject matter) show.

Halo was a Showtime show, not Paramount+. They just swapped it with The Man Who Fell to Earth.
