I really tried to give this a chance since I liked Desperate Housewives and Devious Maids, but the characters are so irritating and unlikeable that it makes the show nearly unwatchable. Ginnifer Goodwin's character is so spineless that the only surprise is that her husband didn't divorce her years ago. Everyone in the modern storyline is terrible, but the wife is possibly the most insufferable character currently on TV. It's laughable that we're supposed to believe that one person, let alone two, are in love with her. The 80's storyline is the only watchable one and that's only because Lucy Liu and Jack Davenport look like they're having fun. Unfortunately that's not nearly enough to compensate for the bad writing or to save this dud of a show.
