- Crazy creditsThe opening credits for season one are animated in a comic book style and feature women from different time periods killing their husbands for various reasons. The song "L.O.V.E" plays for ironic effect. (1) A man in the 1950s is drinking and smoking in the bathtub. His wife, annoyed by his boorish habits, enters the bathroom holding an electric fan. She plugs the fan into a nearby socket and tosses it into the tub, electrocuting her husband to death. (2) A 1920s man yells at his wife. The woman, fed up with his verbal abuse, pushes him down a flight of stairs. The man dies at the foot of the stairs, having broken his neck from the fall. The woman, initially shocked at the outcome, soon smiles at the idea of ridding the world of her insulting husband. (3) A couple in the 1990s is celebrating their anniversary with a romantic dinner. The husband pushes a present towards his wife. After opening it, the wife is angry and offended to learn it's a clothes iron. She hits her sexist husband on the head with the iron and he dies of blunt force trauma. The woman then finishes her meal. (4) In the 1980s, a man is watching sports on TV. He is shouting, eating messy food, and wiping his hands on the chair he's sitting in. His wife enters behind him; she is sick and tired of his slovenly ways. She pours gasoline around her oblivious husband, lights a match, and throws it onto the gasoline trail. She watches in twisted delight as her slob of a husband burns to death. (5) In the 1970s, a woman in a car sees her husband kiss a younger woman. Furious at his infidelity, the woman drives her car toward him. The husband tries to run away, but is hit by the car. He is sent flying and lands on his head, dying immediately.

Featured review
EDIT: My original review was for the full season 1. Loved it. My wife and I watched season 2 ... well, half of it anyway, and just could not keep going. For me personally the magic was completely gone. Hard to pinpoint why, but I missed the clever narrative devise of multiple timelines from the first one. It wasn't terrible, but with so much great content available these days it simply was not worth my time to continue watching. The critics have the opposite opinion of mine, so obviously some people may love season two, good for you, glad you enjoyed it :-)
My new rating of a 7 reflects a 9 for season one, and a 5 for season two.

ORIGINAL REVIEW
I enjoyed Desperate Housewives (yes a guilty pleasure) when it was on, and nothing has quite filled that "dramedy" niche for me since. Well, the same creator rolled out Why Women Kill, and it feels completely the same (pacing, filming style, writing, humor). But it is freshened up a bit and has the multiple storylines across different eras, plus has been retooled as anthology style with independent seasons (I love this trend by the way). But if it had a woman narrating the beginning and end you would swear you had just watched Housewives! Anyway, that's it ... plain and simple, if you loved Housewives then this show is for you. And if you never saw Housewives and enjoy a fun and quirky comedy show (almost a comedy soap opera in way), then go watch that first!
