...bright show, literally: the color scheme of the sets (by architect David Rockwell) and costumes (William Ivey Long) is so cheerful and deliciously gaudy that you can not only like them, you can practically lick them...
Pearson, a star columnist at the London Evening Standard, makes Kate one of those superwomen who think they would like a wife. But when Kate's husband Rich, a low-energy architect, picks up the household slack, she loses interest in him. She is hard-wired to want a hunter-gatherer and nearly has an affair with one, an alpha millionaire client.
