Interesting - slow at the beginning - favourite character is Lina.followed by Sloane - Gia is just all over the place , Maggie is young and foolish and trying to regain her self respect. The male characters in this seem very much secondary at least it would seem so at the beginning , but okay a very real role moving forward. If you can get over the first few or so episodes you will invest in the rest of the show.. this is. It something I would usually watch, but it intrigued me from what others were saying and talking about. In parts it's quite raw, emotional, sexual, bouncing from hot to cold.

Three Women is one great show
somethingreal8112 January 2024
I admit I was skeptical during the first episode, which felt heavy handed with its use of narration, a bit gratuitous with some of the nudity, and a little too familiar with its stories of female sexuality. But I'm really glad I stuck with the show beyond that episode, because it turned out to be a deep and thoughtful character study of flawed, but very relatable and/or intriguing characters. As the series went on I continually went back and forth over which storyline I found most compelling, but now having seen all 10 episodes, I can honestly say I didn't have a favorite because they were all so interesting. The performances by all the leads were also exceptional and even the lesser known supporting cast really shined throughout. I highly recommend this series to anyone who's interested in great storytelling, complex characters, and terrific acting.
... with these two... please

... how can you not watch this show... Shailene Woodley and Betty Gilpin.. either would be enough, but both of them... GLOW had me falling in love with Betty Gilpin, and it probably is not one of her best known appearances, but Endings, Beginnings was all pure alluring Shailene
... way too early to say much about how good or not Three Women will be, but I'd not be saying much against these two... Showtime had the series and decided not to proceed with it, handing it over to Starz... thanks for that
... slated for ten episodes, so there's going to be time to get deeper into character development.. really looking forward to seeing what this production will be offering
... 01.22.24 - near one out of six raters (still very small sample have voted so far) give it a '1'... that's scorn for reasons other than the quality of the work... this is a very-good-production, builds story-line-character-development throughout... acting's-outrageously-solid... will for sure be watched again & again... a-solid-'9'

Betty Gilpin is perfect, but the series did not catch me

After 3 episodes we unfortunately fell off this show. We liked the first episode and the show is filled with a lot of talented actresses, the second episode was brilliantly acted but not that convincing in regards of pacing and script and already boringly sex focussed. With the third episode it really delves into mommy porn territory and we really failed to see the depth and were really bored.
I am sure there will be some great parts in the rest of the episodes but we are too old and ununterested in drawn out and rather explicit sex scenes.
It is great to see Gilpin being given material to really work with but i guess a show about the sexual lifestyle of 3 US women is just not our cup of tea.

ARE THERE ANY SERIES ABOUT NON-NEUROTIC PEOPLE?

I thought this was going to be OK, and have been a Sharlene Woodley fan for some time but this turned into repetitive dross at about episode 3.
This one happens to be about women, but there are many examples featuring similarly up themselves men.
And, no, I can't recall the names.
In the case of "Three Women" we have the supposed author rushing about supposedly collecting important details of the lives of various women to put into a book she's writing.
Then one after one they are dragged out. Take Lina. She marries a guy and cranks out two kids with him. Then she fixates on the fact that he doesn't like kissing? Maybe should have checked this out before she started breeding?
Oh, and then when she stats enthusiastically buffing Aiden, a school mate, and of course that's perfect, she finds him backing off after a while and thinks it's because he was upset with her about a school time incident.
She finds out he can't even remember the incident so then it's THAT which stresses her out.
And it's THAT which persuaded me to turn the bloody thing off except for fast forwarding a couple of bits more.
I'll be very careful about Woodley next time.

You wonder how they thought about the sex scenes?
Blomkruka223 April 2024
A series about women, for women, and which I understand is supposed to have some kind of feminist perspective. How could they have missed something as basic as the fact that none of the many long sex scenes contain anything other than penetration? The men in the series act like teenagers in the bed.
Complete absence of caresses, hands and tongue. Are the creators familiar with something called the clitoris?
Otherwise, its an ok show but nothing rememberable. It feels slow and i find the storyline about the writer booring. Linas character and storyline is the only one which feels more interesting.

This doesn't end well

I was finding this show very interesting to watch. I was most pulled by Maggie's story and found her to be the only character who by the end I liked. The flawed nature of each of the women was intriguing particularly as you could see how the flaws were being created by societal pressure and their desires often being in polar opposites. It's a shame that a number of the women seemed unable to go after what they want without hurting others. I was enjoying that aspect of the women's growth as they sort of came to terms that they could go for what they wanted but it had to be done in a particular way - break up with the married man because it's still not free love, actually communicate with your partner that you need love and look to love and believe yourself. At least that was my take way until Gia's last monologue. There was something about the "just let her" go after what she wants that felt a bit icky. Like sure we as a society need to be less judgmental but surely there are times when judgment is justified. I felt the message should have been follow your desire and own them, allow others to follow theirs but don't use it as an excuse to hurt others. The last bit kind of made me feel as though the whole thing wasn't worth watching if that is the takeaway. The acting and filming were excellent but the ending marred it for me.
