  1. This Wife is well worth committing to.
  2. 80
    The Starter Wife isn't seamless or groundbreaking, but Messing and her colleagues deliver stylish goods in a threadbare era for comedy. Good show!

    Molly and her friends spend so much time name-dropping and worrying about reputations, we never feel connected to their pain or joy. The show's foundational preoccupation with Hollywood does produce some humor, most often in film-based fantasy sequences.
