Premise
A writer convinces three women, all of whom are on a course to radically change their lives, to tell her their stories.
In July 2019, Showtime acquired rights to Three Women by Lisa Taddeo, with Taddeo attached to write and executive produce.[6] On January 30, 2023, Deadline reported that Showtime had decided not to air the completed series, amid a reorganization at parent company Paramount Global and a review of Showtime's programming slate, but was being shopped to other services.[7] The series was later picked up by Starz in early February 2023.[8] The series premiered on September 13, 2024.[2]
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 33% of 15 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.2/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Betty Gilpin shines in this otherwise disappointingly didactic series, where the diverging story strands never cohere into a satisfying whole."[22]Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 52 out of 100, based on 11 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[23] Kylie Northover from The Sydney Morning Herald wrote: "This was never going to be an easy book to adapt, and [the show] feels bloated at 10 episodes, but Maggie and Lina’s stories are compelling; Sloane and her husband (Blair Underwood) are the least relatable, a lot larger than life than they were portrayed in the book."[24]
