Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 5311145, member: 833"] I am watching [B]Three Women (Starz)[/B] because 1) I am too lazy to cancel my Starz subscription and 2) I was wondering why Shailene Woodley, who I think is an amazing actress, is wasting the prime of her career in supporting roles in movies that no one sees, or in limited series on networks no one can find. This is an actress that came out of the gate with 5 huge hits: The Descendants, the Fault in our Stars, and the Divergent Series, then was awesome in a limited run HBO series Big Little Lies, sharing screen time with some of the best Gen X actresses. Since then she has been doing mediocre art house flicks and box office bombs when she is not making limited run series for Starz and whatever Neon is. Of her big studio movies of the last few years, I get doing Dumb Money, a pretty good movie even though she had a minor role, but she was badly miscast for Ferrari. I made the following post in March 2017: If she is not punching her agent in the face every day after the last 5 years of her filmography, she is not serious about her career. Anyway, back to Three Women. Realistically, no one is going to see this until it goes on Prime or Netflix. I am halfway through it. I really like Woodley and Betty Gilpin. Some of the rest of the cast looks familiar although I can't place them, but most of them are solid. The plot has some problems, particularly the plot line for DaWanda Wise's character, which I do not understand. The pacing is too slow, there are too many extended shots of characters just looking at stuff, and it is pretty man-hater-y, so don't watch if that is going to bother you. But I like it. It is original, but not in a crazy way, and thoughtful, even though I do not agree with some of its message. It is possible to write shows and movies about regular people and still have it be interesting. If your choices are this or a Taylor Sheriden show, you won't like this. If you are looking for a show just trying to show interesting characters in the real world, it is worth giving it a chance. [/QUOTE]
