Consumer DVD Review
[Top]
This is the perfect example of a great show that got cancelled by the circumstances. It was released in the US right after the Sept. 11th attacks while the country's mood was deeply altered. I saw the first 3-4 chapters in the US & never heard of it again until I saw it in DVD & bought it immediately. Mike is a columnist married to Donna who is constantly fantasizing about having sex with her assistant. His 3 buddies give him totally opposite advices contributing to his anguish in this situation & to his erratic decisions.
The first - & most hilarious - is married, unfaithful & absolutely guilt free. The second is also married, but is 100% straight towards his marriage. The third one is single with a very active sexual life. Great characters, excellent dialogues, great everyday situations explored in a disturbingly real way.
