American Woman - Season 1 Episode 06: The Heat Wave
American Woman means well but just can't figure out what show it's trying to be, which makes it a good fit for the equally identity-free Paramount Network.
If, like me, your formative years developed within you an ability to sit and watch and re-watch Alicia Silverstone do just about anything, you'll welcome her return to the spotlight
American Woman is cute and fun and a bit of a '70s-set comedy comfort watch, yes, but they're able to work in jokes and messages in slick ways that will have you feeling empowered and entertained (but not overwhelmed) at once.
There is something of a stiffness to the program, but the silly one-liners and bald-faced female empowerment vibe of a mother striking out on her own in Beverly Hills in 1975 is well worth it.
Although I wish it could follow its instinct for a '70s sense of the surreal, it's definitely a garish delight when it comes to the Me Decade's idea of ambiance - a set direction that never gets old.
Muddled, plodding, unengaging -- this had no perspective other than the obvious one (men are pigs), or a plot much beyond suddenly-single-mom-gets-back-in-workplace.
