Three Women episode 1 recap: A tale of female desire

As a dedicated fan of compelling narratives, I must say that Three Women on Starz has already captured my heart and piqued my curiosity. With its intriguing characters and thought-provoking storylines, this series is shaping up to be a captivating exploration of female desire, pain, and resilience.

At long last, the series titled “Three Women” has premiered on Starz! Initially, Showtime had commissioned the show, but opted not to broadcast it. It was then that Starz took up the mantle, and after watching the first episode, we’re thrilled they did! Here’s a quick rundown of the premiere, titled “three women“. SPOILERS AHEAD.

Gia

In a new role, Shailene Woodley portrays Gia, a writer seeking to narrate the tales of a group introduced in episode 1. Stuck in a creative rut, she yearns for fresh and captivating perspectives on sex in America. Her mentor, whom she admires, suggests she should explore by sleeping with married men to gain insights. However, Gia only follows a piece of that advice, choosing not to act upon it.

Through her road trip, Gia seeks out her subjects and eventually locates them all. Spanning over eight years, she shares their stories with us through narration. But what makes these three unique? They were “overlooked along forgotten paths.” Gia becomes captivated by them, more interested in listening to their tales than simply recounting their experiences.

Lina

I have to say, so far Lina is my favorite character, played by the fabulous Betty Gilpin. You immediately sympathize with her and the situation she’s in. The housewife and mother has lost all passion in her marriage, and there’s no one to help her. Living in rural Indiana, she and her husband go to couples counseling with their priest, and he gives the oh so helpful advice that Lina just needs to accept that her husband doesn’t like kissing, and so she shouldn’t expect intimacy. Just let it go, he says. Ok, bro.

In simpler terms, Lina is having physical discomfort and visits Dr. Henry (Dr. Ravi Patel), who is a bit unconventional but likable. He diagnoses Lina with endometriosis and fibromyalgia, and suggests that the best treatment for her could be a period of… well, self-indulgence, if you will. Given her situation, it appears she has been deprived of any form of desire or excitement. In fact, she was even expressing herself in an intimate way on the shower glass. Following the doctor’s recommendation, Lina tries this method and seems to find success, though she does so discreetly in her car.

Sloane

In a captivating manner, Sloane appears to be an alluring enigma, which adds to her fascination. DeWanda Wise delivers a remarkable performance in this role. The couple resides in Massachusetts and enjoys significant success, often attracting envy and criticism. Despite their deep affection for each other, they occasionally welcome other individuals into their intimate space, at Sloane’s behest. This is likely due to her history of being deprived of physical affection during her upbringing, as Gia suggests, making her yearn for more emotional support.

The couple maintains certain guidelines, with an implicit one being that any man Sloane becomes interested in should not surpass her spouse in their eyes. Despite no romantic developments or hints as of episode 1 in “Three Women“, the series appears to foreshadow potential conflicts arising between Sloane and her husband, with Will (Blair Redford) serving as the catalyst for this tension.

Maggie

To conclude, we meet Maggie (Gabrielle Creevy), residing in North Dakota. At 16, she was involved romantically with her high school English teacher who was also a father figure. The narrative skips this period initially, focusing instead on Maggie’s life five years later when she’s 23 and working as a waitress. Upon receiving a “Best Teacher” award, Aaron, the teacher, triggers a memory for Maggie. She decides to leave him a congratulatory card with her phone number in his mailbox, indicating that she still harbors feelings for him despite the passage of time.

Maggie’s companions are concerned that he could potentially be involved in an improper relationship with another woman. If one instance occurs, there’s a strong possibility it will happen again. They advise her to address the situation. As a result, Maggie chooses to write an email to Aaron, expressing a fresh outlook on their relationship and suggesting it would be “beneficial” for him to disprove her concerns. The episode concludes with us observing the teacher disposing of his household waste at home, followed by him tossing it away in annoyance. It’s evident he has read the email.
