May 29, 2003 -- WHAT would you get if David Mamet and Ingmar Bergman were TV writers and collaborated on a cable series?
Let me answer that: A big, annoying, pretentious, self-indulgent script broken only by needless hysterical rantings.
The show, about the 16-year marriage of a couple of screenwriters with a nine-year-old son was conceived, produced and written by Wayne and Donna Powers, a couple of screenwriters who've been married for . . . 19 years, and have a ten-year-old son.

Isn't Showtime the same one that made the 'queer like folk' show (or what was it's name??) Did anyone watch it? (not here- I mean ANYone) Or doesn't that make a diff when you are making a politically correct show?

Oh you are so right. Geez this is why I stopped watching anything but news networks right after X-Files went off.
If I want to hear whinning I will call my Lesbian/teacher/flaming liberal sister. She can't talk for 2 minutes without a whine.

"This is the only movie that we have ever written that was just something inside we had to get out," says Donna Powers. I know the feeling. Avoiding the burritos in the buffet line took care of it.

ok, I watched most of this show last night and it was HOT--sexy hot. It will get viewers, especially women, in my opinion because the sex is part of the story. Or the story leads to the sex. It had me empathizing with the Eric Stoltz character and with him when he made his move. Whew..it is hot in here.

No. I forgot about it right after I read the review.
It sounded too awful to watch, even if only to mock.
