Why Women Kill - Season 1
The drama and comedy series tells of three women living in three different decades, where they deal with treason differently. A housewife in the 1960s, a socialite in the 1980s and a lawyer in 2018, all deal with infidelity in their various marriages through the ages. The series will provide an overview of these women and how their roles have changed, but their reaction to treason has not changed over time.

The tongue-in-cheek tone can be tricky. But beginning with the opening credits, which is set against the Frank Sinatra classic L.O.V.E. and pulpy comic book scenes, Why Women Kill gets the tone just right.

As expected from [Marc] Cherry, Why Women Kill is a blend, a darkly funny comedy-drama that works on the surface.

...surprisingly interesting and enjoyable.

Mark Cherry assembles a truly magnificent cast for what is billed as a darkly comedic drama, but it's very difficult to connect with the characters, and that's troublesome.

The show's title suggests each story will end in murder, but whose? Talk about a killer hook.

Despite its partial period setting, "Women" is essentially a modern version of "Housewives," mixing dark comedy with violence to illuminate the lives of its main characters.

The dialogue is funny, the plots interesting. Sit back, enjoy, and remember never to turn your back to your wife.

Why Women Kill is able to find balance by imbuing its darkest moments with absurdity. What results is a tasty little slice of entertainment.
August 14, 2019
With such enjoyably brilliant performances from Lucy Liu and the rest of the cast, the juicy storytelling becomes that much more engrossing, and the ten-episode season will certainly under-stay its welcome, if anything.

In a world inundated with tremendous television, Why Women Kill is merely fine.
