The second season, containing 10 episodes, premiered on June 3, 2021, [ 2 ]  on  Paramount+  and focuses on a single time period. In December 2021, the series was renewed for a third season, [ 3 ]  but in July 2022 the third season was scrapped before production could begin. [ 4 ] The first season of  Why Women Kill  follows three women, each from a different recent era, who reside in the same  mansion  in  Pasadena . All three learn of their respective husband's infidelity during their time in the house:\n Beth Ann Stanton's story begins in 1963 where she is content to serve as a charming, sweet and polite  housewife , but learning of her husband Rob's unfaithfulness complicates their already-strained relationship, which holds a dark secret. She moved into the house in 1962 and left in 1974\/75. In 1984, socialite Simone Grove discovers her third husband of ten years, Karl, is gay, and seeks some release via her best friend's son Tommy, who has just turned eighteen. It begins soon after she learns of his attraction to her. She moved into the house in 1974\/75, and left in 2017. Attorney Taylor Harding moved into the house in 2017, and her story takes place in 2019. She is  bisexual  and enjoys an  open marriage , but this sparks tension when she and her husband Eli become attracted to the same woman, Jade. She leaves the house in 2019, a few weeks after her storyline finishes, then a new couple moves in after her. The second season focuses on one storyline set in 1949  Los Angeles , with Alma Fillcot, a plain Jane middle-aged housewife who decides to join a Garden Club, and Rita Castillo, the same woman inside who despises Alma and the series of murders that follow.\n Each storyline reaches a turning point when the woman decides murder is a justifiable course of action.

[ 5 ] [ 17 ] [ 18 ]  On December 10, 2018, it was reported that the series would receive $8.4 million in tax credits from the state of California. [ 19 ] Cherry stated at the 2019 Television Critics Association that there will be \"three deaths at the end of the series, and they will all be committed by women. But it's not necessarily the three women on this stage. The victims are not necessarily the men on this stage, and interesting enough, not one person will be killed because of infidelity. Infidelity is just the starting point for these journeys of self‑discovery.\" [ 20 ] On October 16, 2019, the day before the season 1 finale, it was announced that the series was renewed for a second season that would focus on a new set of characters. Julie McNamara, CBS All Access' EVP of Original Content, stated that, \"Under the creative direction of Marc Cherry and the incredible performances of the cast, the series has become one of our most streamed original series. We look forward to bringing fans even more of this wonderfully soapy dramedy in its second season and can't wait to see what themes Marc explores next.\" [ 21 ] On November 11, 2020, it was reported that the second season had been suspended production after positive  COVID-19  tests of production team members. [ 22 ]  On December 15, 2021, Paramount+ renewed the series for a third season. [ 3 ]  On July 1, 2022, the third season was reported scrapped just before production was set to begin.

[ 2 ] Why Women Kill: Truth, Lies and Labels [ edit ] On September 20, 2019,  CBS All Access  released the first episode of a six episode  podcast , entitled  Why Women Kill: Truth, Lies and Labels , to help advertise for  Why Women Kill . The final episode was released on October 25. Each episode, released weekly on Friday, shares the details of a woman who became a murderer. The podcast is available on  Apple Podcasts ,  Google Podcasts ,  Spotify , and  Stitcher Radio . Tori Telfer, a true crime writer, narrates each episode. [ citation needed ] On  review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the first season holds an approval rating of 67% based on 27 reviews, with an average rating of 7.6\/10. The website's critical consensus reads, \"Though  Why Women Kill  falls short of its ambitious premise, fans of Marc Cherry and his impressive cast will find much to like in its darkly soapy and stylish delights.\" [ 31 ]  On  Metacritic , it has a weighted average score of 63 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating \"generally favorable reviews\". [ 32 ] While the aesthetic of the series received praise, critics found that  Why Women Kill  lacked character development. Robyn Bahr of  The Hollywood Reporter  wrote, \"We're supposed to marvel at the changing roles of women over time, but it's hard to get there, intellectually, when none of the three leads feels like a semblance of a real person. Instead,  Why Women Kill  comes off as an ungainly fantasy of women's emotional lives, where the threat of infidelity could be the only fuel of marital unhappiness.\" [ 33 ] Vulture  reviewer  Angelica Jade Bastién  agreed with the focus on aesthetics more than plot, stating, \" Why Women Kill  is akin to an overly complicated craft cocktail, boasting an intriguing brightness, namely in the form of Goodwin's performance, but lacking balance in its competing flavors. It's full of baffling tonal and narrative decisions that undermine what does work about the show—a handful of the performances, the over-the-top, nearly camp production design, the costuming—and undercuts its dramatic potential with broad, nearly slapstick humor that distances us from the characters rather than illuminating who they are.\" [ 34 ] However, Greg Wheeler of 'The Review Geek' changed his view as the series progressed, and gave this favourable summary: 'Why Women Kill is one of those shows that's hurt by early reviews. I've said it many times before that a full season review rating should be reserved for just that – a full season. When it comes to this wonderful drama, this is a perfect example against judging a show by the first few episodes. What began as an artistic trio of stories dancing around a singular idea, quickly blossomed into one of the best shows of the year. Between the strong writing and well paced segments, right across to the different themes and ideas explored each episode, Why Women Kill may just be one of my favourite shows of the year, balancing the artistic juxtapositions and smart editing with the perfect finale to balance things out.' [ 35 ] On Rotten Tomatoes, the second season has an approval rating of 86% based on 7 reviews, with an average rating of 7.5\/10.

All three learn of their respective husband's infidelity during their time in the house:\n\n- Beth Ann Stanton's story begins in 1963 where she is content to serve as a charming, sweet and polite [housewife](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Housewife \"Housewife\"), but learning of her husband Rob's unfaithfulness complicates their already-strained relationship, which holds a dark secret.

move into a Pasadena mansion following the death of their young daughter. After meeting Leo and Sheila Mosconi, Beth Ann overhears Sheila reveal that Leo witnessed Rob kissing a waitress. Beth Ann refuses to believe her husband's infidelity until she sees Rob kiss the waitress firsthand. At Sheila's suggestion, Beth Ann goes to the diner to confront the waitress, who she learns is named April. However, Beth Ann loses her nerve and instead befriends April, although she keeps her identity secret. In 1984, socialite Simone Grove lives in the mansion with Karl, her third husband of ten years who owns a successful art gallery. At a party, Simone learns of her husband's homosexuality when she finds pictures of Karl kissing a man. Simone demands that Karl leave, but Karl instead appears to attempt suicide by overdosing on pills. After Karl is sent to the hospital, Tommy Harte, the son of Simone's best friend Naomi, admits to Simone that he saw the photos and makes a romantic pass at her. While flattered, Simone declines his advances as he is just under the age of consent. Tommy leaves, but tells Simone he has been in love with her for years. In 2019, Taylor Harding and Eli Cohen are a married couple in an open marriage. Taylor is a successful lawyer and Eli is a screenwriter with some minor success. One night, Taylor brings Jade, her apparently casual hookup, home to stay with her and Eli after Jade is threatened by her ex-boyfriend Duke. Eli initially opposes having a paramour of the couple stay in their mansion longer than one night, but Jade begins happily maintaining the household and cooking meals for them, much to Taylor's delight. Eli eventually agrees to allow Jade to stay longer when he finds himself becoming attracted to her. |   |   |   |   |   |\n| 2 | 2 | \"I'd Like to Kill Ya, but I Just Washed My Hair\" | Marc Webb | Austin Guzman | August 22, 2019 (2019-08-22) |\n| In 1963, April admits to Beth Ann that she's in a relationship with a married man, still unaware that he is Beth Ann's husband. After April suggests that the affair is the result of Rob becoming bored with his wife, Beth Ann attempts to make herself more appealing to Rob by updating her style and giving him a [blowjob](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Blowjob \"Blowjob\"), but her efforts culminate with her accidentally injuring him. While waiting to be treated at the hospital, Rob acknowledges that he is growing distant from Beth Ann, but stops short of admitting his infidelity. Once treated for his injury, Rob leaves the mansion for an apparent dinner with business partners despite Beth Ann's attempts to make him stay, knowing that he is really meeting with April. In 1984, Simone discovers that Karl faked his suicide attempt, but is unable to force him out of the mansion when Karl threatens to humiliate her by disclosing his homosexuality to her friends. Naomi Harte reveals to Simone that she has known about Karl's infidelity for over a year, although she is unaware of his sexual orientation.

The website's critical consensus reads, \"Though *Why Women Kill* falls short of its ambitious premise, fans of Marc Cherry and his impressive cast will find much to like in its darkly soapy and stylish delights.\"[\\[31\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-32) On [Metacritic](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Metacritic \"Metacritic\"), it has a weighted average score of 63 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating \"generally favorable reviews\".[\\[32\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-33)\n\nWhile the aesthetic of the series received praise, critics found that *Why Women Kill* lacked character development. Robyn Bahr of *[The Hollywood Reporter](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Hollywood_Reporter \"The Hollywood Reporter\")* wrote, \"We're supposed to marvel at the changing roles of women over time, but it's hard to get there, intellectually, when none of the three leads feels like a semblance of a real person. Instead, *Why Women Kill* comes off as an ungainly fantasy of women's emotional lives, where the threat of infidelity could be the only fuel of marital unhappiness.\"[\\[33\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-THR_review-34) *[Vulture](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_York_\$magazine\$ \"New York (magazine)\")* reviewer [Angelica Jade Bastién](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Angelica_Jade_Basti%C3%A9n \"Angelica Jade Bastién\") agreed with the focus on aesthetics more than plot, stating, \"*Why Women Kill* is akin to an overly complicated craft cocktail, boasting an intriguing brightness, namely in the form of Goodwin's performance, but lacking balance in its competing flavors. It's full of baffling tonal and narrative decisions that undermine what does work about the show—a handful of the performances, the over-the-top, nearly camp production design, the costuming—and undercuts its dramatic potential with broad, nearly slapstick humor that distances us from the characters rather than illuminating who they are.\"[\\[34\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-Vulture_review-35)\n\nHowever, Greg Wheeler of 'The Review Geek' changed his view as the series progressed, and gave this favourable summary: 'Why Women Kill is one of those shows that's hurt by early reviews. I've said it many times before that a full season review rating should be reserved for just that – a full season. When it comes to this wonderful drama, this is a perfect example against judging a show by the first few episodes. What began as an artistic trio of stories dancing around a singular idea, quickly blossomed into one of the best shows of the year. Between the strong writing and well paced segments, right across to the different themes and ideas explored each episode, Why Women Kill may just be one of my favourite shows of the year, balancing the artistic juxtapositions and smart editing with the perfect finale to balance things out.'[\\[35\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-36)\n\nOn Rotten Tomatoes, the second season has an approval rating of 86% based on 7 reviews, with an average rating of 7.5\/10.[\\[36\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-37)\n\n## Notes\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Why_Women_Kill&action=edit&section=30 \"Edit section: Notes\")\\]\n\n1. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Why_Women_Kill#cite_ref-9)** Credited as Analeigh Tipton; Tipton came out as [non-binary](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Non-binary_gender \"Non-binary gender\") and changed their name in 2021.[\\[8\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-8)\n\n## References\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Why_Women_Kill&action=edit&section=31 \"Edit section: References\")\\]\n\n1. ^ [***a***](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Why_Women_Kill#cite_ref-PremiereDate_1-0) [***b***](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Why_Women_Kill#cite_ref-PremiereDate_1-1)\n   Pedersen, Erik (June 4, 2019).

Boilerpipe Text	American dark comedy drama streaming television series Why Women Kill is an American dark comedy anthology series created by Marc Cherry , which depicts the events leading to deaths caused by women. The first season, which premiered on August 15, 2019, [ 1 ] on CBS All Access , consists of 10 episodes and is set in multiple periods. The second season, containing 10 episodes, premiered on June 3, 2021, [ 2 ] on Paramount+ and focuses on a single time period. In December 2021, the series was renewed for a third season, [ 3 ] but in July 2022 the third season was scrapped before production could begin. [ 4 ] The first season of Why Women Kill follows three women, each from a different recent era, who reside in the same mansion in Pasadena . All three learn of their respective husband's infidelity during their time in the house: Beth Ann Stanton's story begins in 1963 where she is content to serve as a charming, sweet and polite housewife , but learning of her husband Rob's unfaithfulness complicates their already-strained relationship, which holds a dark secret. She moved into the house in 1962 and left in 1974/75. In 1984, socialite Simone Grove discovers her third husband of ten years, Karl, is gay, and seeks some release via her best friend's son Tommy, who has just turned eighteen. It begins soon after she learns of his attraction to her. She moved into the house in 1974/75, and left in 2017. Attorney Taylor Harding moved into the house in 2017, and her story takes place in 2019. She is bisexual and enjoys an open marriage , but this sparks tension when she and her husband Eli become attracted to the same woman, Jade. She leaves the house in 2019, a few weeks after her storyline finishes, then a new couple moves in after her. The second season focuses on one storyline set in 1949 Los Angeles , with Alma Fillcot, a plain Jane middle-aged housewife who decides to join a Garden Club, and Rita Castillo, the same woman inside who despises Alma and the series of murders that follow. Each storyline reaches a turning point when the woman decides murder is a justifiable course of action.

The series was created by Marc Cherry who was also expected to executive produce alongside Brian Grazer , Francie Calfo , Michael Hanel, and Mindy Schultheis. Production companies involved with the series were slated to consist of Imagine Entertainment and CBS Television Studios . [ 5 ] [ 17 ] [ 18 ] On December 10, 2018, it was reported that the series would receive $8.4 million in tax credits from the state of California. [ 19 ] Cherry stated at the 2019 Television Critics Association that there will be "three deaths at the end of the series, and they will all be committed by women. But it's not necessarily the three women on this stage. The victims are not necessarily the men on this stage, and interesting enough, not one person will be killed because of infidelity. Infidelity is just the starting point for these journeys of self‑discovery." [ 20 ] On October 16, 2019, the day before the season 1 finale, it was announced that the series was renewed for a second season that would focus on a new set of characters. Julie McNamara, CBS All Access' EVP of Original Content, stated that, "Under the creative direction of Marc Cherry and the incredible performances of the cast, the series has become one of our most streamed original series. We look forward to bringing fans even more of this wonderfully soapy dramedy in its second season and can't wait to see what themes Marc explores next." [ 21 ] On November 11, 2020, it was reported that the second season had been suspended production after positive COVID-19 tests of production team members. [ 22 ] On December 15, 2021, Paramount+ renewed the series for a third season. [ 3 ] On July 1, 2022, the third season was reported scrapped just before production was set to begin.

[ 25 ] On March 4, 2019, it was announced that Sam Jaeger had joined the cast. [ 26 ] On March 7, 2019, it was announced that Alexandra Daddario had joined the cast. [ 27 ] On March 11, 2019, Kirby Howell-Baptiste had been cast. [ 28 ] On March 19, 2019, Sadie Calvano joined cast as a series regular.

[ 1 ] The second season premiered on June 3, 2021, on Paramount+ and it consisted of 10 episodes. [ 2 ] Why Women Kill: Truth, Lies and Labels [ edit ] On September 20, 2019, CBS All Access released the first episode of a six episode podcast , entitled Why Women Kill: Truth, Lies and Labels , to help advertise for Why Women Kill . The final episode was released on October 25. Each episode, released weekly on Friday, shares the details of a woman who became a murderer. The podcast is available on Apple Podcasts , Google Podcasts , Spotify , and Stitcher Radio . Tori Telfer, a true crime writer, narrates each episode. [ citation needed ] On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the first season holds an approval rating of 67% based on 27 reviews, with an average rating of 7.6/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Though Why Women Kill falls short of its ambitious premise, fans of Marc Cherry and his impressive cast will find much to like in its darkly soapy and stylish delights." [ 31 ] On Metacritic , it has a weighted average score of 63 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". [ 32 ] While the aesthetic of the series received praise, critics found that Why Women Kill lacked character development. Robyn Bahr of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "We're supposed to marvel at the changing roles of women over time, but it's hard to get there, intellectually, when none of the three leads feels like a semblance of a real person. Instead, Why Women Kill comes off as an ungainly fantasy of women's emotional lives, where the threat of infidelity could be the only fuel of marital unhappiness." [ 33 ] Vulture reviewer Angelica Jade Bastién agreed with the focus on aesthetics more than plot, stating, " Why Women Kill is akin to an overly complicated craft cocktail, boasting an intriguing brightness, namely in the form of Goodwin's performance, but lacking balance in its competing flavors. It's full of baffling tonal and narrative decisions that undermine what does work about the show—a handful of the performances, the over-the-top, nearly camp production design, the costuming—and undercuts its dramatic potential with broad, nearly slapstick humor that distances us from the characters rather than illuminating who they are." [ 34 ] However, Greg Wheeler of 'The Review Geek' changed his view as the series progressed, and gave this favourable summary: 'Why Women Kill is one of those shows that's hurt by early reviews. I've said it many times before that a full season review rating should be reserved for just that – a full season. When it comes to this wonderful drama, this is a perfect example against judging a show by the first few episodes. What began as an artistic trio of stories dancing around a singular idea, quickly blossomed into one of the best shows of the year. Between the strong writing and well paced segments, right across to the different themes and ideas explored each episode, Why Women Kill may just be one of my favourite shows of the year, balancing the artistic juxtapositions and smart editing with the perfect finale to balance things out.' [ 35 ] On Rotten Tomatoes, the second season has an approval rating of 86% based on 7 reviews, with an average rating of 7.5/10.

The first season, which premiered on August 15, 2019,[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-PremiereDate-1) on [CBS All Access](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBS_All_Access "CBS All Access"), consists of 10 episodes and is set in multiple periods. The second season, containing 10 episodes, premiered on June 3, 2021,[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-S2PremiereDate-2) on [Paramount+](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramount%2B "Paramount+") and focuses on a single time period. In December 2021, the series was renewed for a third season,[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-S3Renewal-3) but in July 2022 the third season was scrapped before production could begin.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-S3Scrap-4) ## Plot \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Why_Women_Kill&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Plot")\] The first season of Why Women Kill follows three women, each from a different recent era, who reside in the same [mansion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansion "Mansion") in [Pasadena](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasadena,_California "Pasadena, California"). All three learn of their respective husband's infidelity during their time in the house: - Beth Ann Stanton's story begins in 1963 where she is content to serve as a charming, sweet and polite [housewife](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housewife "Housewife"), but learning of her husband Rob's unfaithfulness complicates their already-strained relationship, which holds a dark secret. She moved into the house in 1962 and left in 1974/75. - In 1984, socialite Simone Grove discovers her third husband of ten years, Karl, is gay, and seeks some release via her best friend's son Tommy, who has just turned eighteen. It begins soon after she learns of his attraction to her. She moved into the house in 1974/75, and left in 2017. - Attorney Taylor Harding moved into the house in 2017, and her story takes place in 2019. She is [bisexual](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisexual "Bisexual") and enjoys an [open marriage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_marriage "Open marriage"), but this sparks tension when she and her husband Eli become attracted to the same woman, Jade. She leaves the house in 2019, a few weeks after her storyline finishes, then a new couple moves in after her. The second season focuses on one storyline set in 1949 [Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles "Los Angeles"), with Alma Fillcot, a plain Jane middle-aged housewife who decides to join a Garden Club, and Rita Castillo, the same woman inside who despises Alma and the series of murders that follow. Each storyline reaches a turning point when the woman decides murder is a justifiable course of action.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-SeriesOrder-5) ## Cast and characters \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Why_Women_Kill&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Cast and characters")\] ### Season 1 \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Why_Women_Kill&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Season 1")\] #### 1963 \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Why_Women_Kill&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: 1963")\] ##### Main \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Why_Women_Kill&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Main")\] -

The series was created by [Marc Cherry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Cherry "Marc Cherry") who was also expected to executive produce alongside [Brian Grazer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Grazer "Brian Grazer"), [Francie Calfo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francie_Calfo "Francie Calfo"), Michael Hanel, and Mindy Schultheis.

But it's not necessarily the three women on this stage. The victims are not necessarily the men on this stage, and interesting enough, not one person will be killed because of infidelity. Infidelity is just the starting point for these journeys of self‑discovery."[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-AV_Club_review-21) On October 16, 2019, the day before the season 1 finale, it was announced that the series was renewed for a second season that would focus on a new set of characters. Julie McNamara, CBS All Access' EVP of Original Content, stated that, "Under the creative direction of Marc Cherry and the incredible performances of the cast, the series has become one of our most streamed original series.

The website's critical consensus reads, "Though Why Women Kill falls short of its ambitious premise, fans of Marc Cherry and his impressive cast will find much to like in its darkly soapy and stylish delights."[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-32) On [Metacritic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacritic "Metacritic"), it has a weighted average score of 63 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-33) While the aesthetic of the series received praise, critics found that Why Women Kill lacked character development. Robyn Bahr of [The Hollywood Reporter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hollywood_Reporter "The Hollywood Reporter") wrote, "We're supposed to marvel at the changing roles of women over time, but it's hard to get there, intellectually, when none of the three leads feels like a semblance of a real person. Instead, Why Women Kill comes off as an ungainly fantasy of women's emotional lives, where the threat of infidelity could be the only fuel of marital unhappiness."[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-THR_review-34) [Vulture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_$magazine$ "New York (magazine)") reviewer [Angelica Jade Bastién](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelica_Jade_Basti%C3%A9n "Angelica Jade Bastién") agreed with the focus on aesthetics more than plot, stating, "Why Women Kill is akin to an overly complicated craft cocktail, boasting an intriguing brightness, namely in the form of Goodwin's performance, but lacking balance in its competing flavors. It's full of baffling tonal and narrative decisions that undermine what does work about the show—a handful of the performances, the over-the-top, nearly camp production design, the costuming—and undercuts its dramatic potential with broad, nearly slapstick humor that distances us from the characters rather than illuminating who they are."[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-Vulture_review-35) However, Greg Wheeler of 'The Review Geek' changed his view as the series progressed, and gave this favourable summary: 'Why Women Kill is one of those shows that's hurt by early reviews. I've said it many times before that a full season review rating should be reserved for just that – a full season. When it comes to this wonderful drama, this is a perfect example against judging a show by the first few episodes. What began as an artistic trio of stories dancing around a singular idea, quickly blossomed into one of the best shows of the year. Between the strong writing and well paced segments, right across to the different themes and ideas explored each episode, Why Women Kill may just be one of my favourite shows of the year, balancing the artistic juxtapositions and smart editing with the perfect finale to balance things out.'[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-36) On Rotten Tomatoes, the second season has an approval rating of 86% based on 7 reviews, with an average rating of 7.5/10.[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Women_Kill#cite_note-37) ## Notes \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Why_Women_Kill&action=edit&section=30 "Edit section: Notes")\] 1.
