Three Women episode 1 review: The Starz show is going to become your new favorite to watch
As a gamer who’s spent countless hours navigating through the twists and turns of immersive narratives, I can confidently say that Three Women on Starz is shaping up to be an engaging addition to my binge-watching roster! With its intricate web of female perspectives, compelling characters, and just the right dash of mystery, episode one has already piqued my curiosity. Here’s my take. SPOILERS AHEAD.
I believe you’re going to absolutely love the new show Three Women on Starz! It offers a captivating narrative from various female viewpoints, boasts intriguing characters, and even throws in a touch of mystery for good measure. The pilot episode alone, titled “three women,” has left me eagerly anticipating more episodes in the series. Here’s our take on it. [SPOILERS FOLLOW]
Give me more Betty Gilpin
So far, the three central women in the story, as well as author Gia, have held my interest. However, Lina, portrayed by Betty Gilpin, stands out to me as the most compelling character – and I must admit, my favorite actress too. Her performance gives a subtle depth to this housewife and mother who is yearning for affection, and whose needs have been suppressed for so long. Yet, she can no longer suppress them.
You can literally feel how desperate she is “to feel hot,” as she tells her doctor. I mean, this girl has resorted to making out with herself against the glass of the shower. That made for an interesting angle to look at. But anyways, someone please come kiss this woman. I don’t know what her husband’s problem is and why he feels uncomfortable kissing anymore. And the priest was no help at all. Basically telling Lina she needs to accept what makes her husband uncomfortable and deal with it. Thanks for the great advice priest guy.
Dr. Henry is quite charming, albeit a bit quirky in an entertaining manner. He genuinely seems invested in helping his patients, like Lina. Despite suffering from endometriosis and fibromyalgia, he also acknowledges that much of her pain stems from the stress she’s undergoing. His suggestion? Find relief through self-care. And indeed, she does! The scene where Gilpin portrayed this was quite amusing. However, it’s great to see Lina getting the help she needs and finding happiness in the process.
Sloane, Maggie, and even Gia are a bit more of a mystery
Among the three ladies, Sloane appears to be the most mysterious, in my opinion. I have a feeling that their practice of inviting other couples into their bedroom could lead to complications in the future. So far, they’ve been careful about who they involve, but I can sense that the arrival of Will might disrupt the otherwise harmonious and content couple.
Lina tends to conceal her wishes, whereas Sloane openly expresses them. Yet, I’m eager to follow the direction of her story. It struck me that she was embraced by her mother only a few times. This hints at some complex childhood concerns, and I’m excited to uncover more about her.
Ultimately, we have Maggie, who despite the early revelation of her past affair with her high school English teacher (a married man and father), Gabrielle Creevy portrays an aura of innocence that continues to evoke sympathy for Maggie. She may not be 23 years old or a waitress, but it’s clear she is still emotionally entangled with Aaron, her former teacher.
Why on earth did Maggie place a congratulations-cum-business card for best teacher of the year, complete with her phone number, in his mailbox? Subsequently, she emails him, hinting at potential revelation of their secret relationship. Clearly, he’s far from pleased, as shown by his angry tossing of the trash.
As my friends suggested, I might want to take some action since there seems to be a possibility he could be pursuing another high school girl. This predicament is certainly intricate. What adds to its fascination is that the story in Three Women is inspired by real-life events.
Apart from being intrigued by Gia, I’m eager to delve deeper into her background. The show did offer some insights into her personality, but primarily it centered around presenting the three individuals she was working with and their stories. However, I have a feeling that this writer might have an engaging backstory as well.
Grading Three Women episode 1
In episode 1 of “Three Women,” the foundation for the narrative is skillfully set and each character’s starting point is clearly defined. This opening installment offers an intriguing glimpse into the lives of Lina, Sloane, and Maggie, leaving us eager to uncover more about their stories. At times, the plot seemed to progress at a leisurely pace, but the overall tempo was not disappointing.
I will say my one complaint so far is that the show is pretty graphic, even by Starz’s standards. Like Lina trimming her hair down there and a very clear shot of the front of the male anatomy sort of graphic. It doesn’t have to be that illustrative. I think we get the point. So, hopefully there’s a bit less of that going forward. I don’t know, that’s just me, personally. Episode grade level: B.
