Ah, women’s struggles — they’re just a bundle of sensitive cliches. Or so it goes in Showtime’s anthology series about upscale feminine relationships. Beautiful blondes express their narcissism through a lesbian dalliance (”It’s like talking to yourself, like kissing yourself,” observes a sympathetic officemate), a trio of bickering sisters reconcile after their mother dies, a wronged wife bonds with the other woman over the rottenness of male-kind: It’s all as tasteful as a Martha Stewart centerpiece, and about as insightful.
