![]() As the couple breaks into the loaded scum’s house, Liza already seems to have the endgame in mind without telling her other half, but she goes through with it anyway by killing Ken and his wife. Liza gets money by sleeping with her piggish sugar daddy Ken (David Maldonado), but when she hatches a scheme that could give both Chip and her $68,000, Chip reluctantly agrees. ![]() Buckle up, fans of female-centered cockeyed drama: Why Women Kill is for you.Spineless, henpecked Chip (Matthew Gray Gubler) flushes septic systems for a living and has been dating and living with the sexy Liza (AnnaLynne McCord) for six months in their Louisiana trailer. Her American accent (she's English) is impeccable, and so is her performance. "I want to see you suffer in a one-bedroom apartment by the airport, and you are no going to deny me that pleasure!" But for those who haven't caught her turns on Killing Eve, The Good Place, or Barry, Kirby Howell-Baptiste is a surprise, bringing intelligence and warmth to her could-be-off-putting character, a bisexual hard-as-nails lawyer in an open marriage who moves her latest lover into her marital home - and soon regrets it. And Liu still has a way with nasty lines: "You think you're going to get out of this by dying?" she demands of another character who's swallowed a bottle of pills after an upset. Viewers' first reactions to seeing Goodwin and Liu might be something like nostalgic delight: It's been a while since Big Love and Ally McBeal were hits, and fans of either or both of those well-loved shows may want to send up a silent prayer of thanks that creators like Cherry and Ryan Murphy are fond of casting female actors of a certain age, who may have been passed over by Hollywood but can still give material that bam-pow-zing.Īs a sad wife turned sneaky conspirator, Goodwin is easily as effective as she was as a newbie sister-wife on Big Love. Once again, Cherry's winning formula of mixing great actors with devious doings in elegant suburban surroundings is, well, quite winning. Peppy, arch, and inordinately charming, Marc Cherry's new series reads as if his Desperate Housewives were given the freedom to curse - and to kill. Strong women anchor this drama, and women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s have central roles. In the 1960s, a character eats marijuana brownies and has a psychedelic experience. Language is mature: "F-k," "s-t," "bitch," and other expletives are generally used for comic effect and emphasis, as are words about body parts ("d-k," "t-ts"). Sexual content is also mature: One couple has a polyamorous relationship and engages in group sex (we see them kissing in a shower but no private parts), and extramarital affairs (same- and opposite-sex) are the catalyst for many events. In another scene, two characters brawl on a lawn and one blames her behavior on being drunk. The show's animated opening series shows women murdering men bloodily, and self-harm plays a part in the narrative, with at least one character attempting suicide and others making jokes about suicide (she's so jealous of someone's house she could just kill herself!). With the word "kill" in the title, viewers should expect murder and death, though violence is often played for laughs and depicted with a light tone. Parents need to know that Why Women Kill is a soapy drama about wives in three eras who suffer through betrayals and react strongly to them.
