"Stepford Wives" vs "Suburban Housewives" or perhaps an English "Twin Peaks" - you'd understand the connection if you REALLY watched "Twin Peaks". The acting is rich, the comedy black and the content adult. If you enjoy bloke comedy then you will recognize a few faces. It doesn't take long before you are well entrenched into the story line and you'll be thanking Oxygen for running two episodes back to back.
Overall theme: Joyce and her husband have moved into a small English city (it has a church, so it's a city) as he has accepted a position as chief constable. Two factions of housewives are contending for influence/control over Joyce and ultimately, her husband's influence over local law enforcement. Each gun toting faction uses a different method of influence, fear and intimidation vs conscience and moral duty.
The supporting characters (more a case of caricatures) are campy and carried out by actors and actresses with the same commitment to their role as Don Adam's "Maxwell Smart".
Highly recommended.

I whole heartedly concur with the user comments dated August 12, 2001 which were printed by Just_Voards. If you HAVE seen the movie, read their comments as they are spot on and filled with lots of POTA trivia. If you HAVE NOT seen the movie, see the movie and THEN read Just_Voards comments. Would someone give this writer a newspaper column!? Well done!!!!
