Three Women

I admit I was skeptical during the first episode, which felt heavy handed with its use of narration, a bit gratuitous with some of the nudity, and a little too familiar with its stories of female sexuality. But I'm really glad I stuck with the show beyond that episode, because it turned out to be a deep and thoughtful character study of flawed, but very relatable and/or intriguing characters. As the series went on I continually went back and forth over which storyline I found most compelling, but now having seen all 10 episodes, I can honestly say I didn't have a favorite because they were all so interesting. The performances by all the leads were also exceptional and even the lesser known supporting cast really shined throughout. I highly recommend this series to anyone who's interested in great storytelling, complex characters, and terrific acting.

Lisa Taddeo actually went and met these women and wrote about their lives - these negative reviews are so harsh and criticizing the storylines - that's how they actually happened - this show is based on true stories that Lisa wrote about in a book and now it's been made into a show - I really don't understand the harsh criticism I've read. I am loving the show so far but that might also be because I read the book. I am not a big reader (I'd like to be) but I really enjoyed her book so to see these characters brought to life - I am really appreciating reimagining this story with these actors and getting to watch these stories about real women, played out by women, directed and written by women - so any criticism of how "anti-feminist" it is is just weird. I like the show.

... how can you not watch this show... Shailene Woodley and Betty Gilpin.. either would be enough, but both of them... GLOW had me falling in love with Betty Gilpin, and it probably is not one of her best known appearances, but Endings, Beginnings was all pure alluring Shailene

... way too early to say much about how good or not Three Women will be, but I'd not be saying much against these two... Showtime had the series and decided not to proceed with it, handing it over to Starz... thanks for that

... slated for ten episodes, so there's going to be time to get deeper into character development.. really looking forward to seeing what this production will be offering

... 01.22.24 - near one out of six raters (still very small sample have voted so far) give it a '1'... that's scorn for reasons other than the quality of the work... this is a very-good-production, builds story-line-character-development throughout... acting's-outrageously-solid... will for sure be watched again & again... a-solid-'9'

This show has been airing but I ignored as I thought it was the movie that was on a month ago called a similar name. So I'm binge watching and I'm on the 5th episode. I've decided even if the rest are horrible? I'd still give it a 10. It's just that well done! Even better is that it's a true story. One that's truly imperfectly but perfectly honest. If you are female, I'm sure there's something here for you. If you are an open minded male? You too. If you are a guy who likes a women that's great at faking the big o you'll probably hate this. Hence the lowball ratings from a few lol. Bonus points the the musical director in this!! Hit damn! I even forgot about a few of these gems! Definitely getting the soundtrack if available. Lighting guy... can't forget you! Your awesome! A movie I can see . Not all darkened scenes! Thank you! Sound! Thank you for keeping it on the level! Great job! Wardrobe. Chefs kiss to you. Needless to say, the writer and director in this stand out. It's perfectly executed the way life really does often present! I wish you all every award there is! I'd mention the actors but I'm not finished watching and don't want to forget to acknowledge anyone. Watch it! It's right up there with queens gambit.

Interesting - slow at the beginning - favourite character is Lina.followed by Sloane - Gia is just all over the place , Maggie is young and foolish and trying to regain her self respect. The male characters in this seem very much secondary at least it would seem so at the beginning , but okay a very real role moving forward. If you can get over the first few or so episodes you will invest in the rest of the show.. this is. It something I would usually watch, but it intrigued me from what others were saying and talking about. In parts it's quite raw, emotional, sexual, bouncing from hot to cold.
