Their company was aptly named Two Women Walking, but it suited them in more ways than one. The original story behind the name was short and semi-sweet...Ann and Stacey were TWO WOMEN in the Television Production business that enjoyed WALKING, so yeah, an obvious choice. Little did they know that what once was the perfect working union would deteriorate into a caustic relationship where they were constantly second guessing the deeds of the other and plotting more than just the next show or story arc. *ahem* Let's just say, things get A LOT more than just tense, hence the second meaning of their businesses name, as in they should be TWO WOMEN WALKING...away from each other before it's too late!

While it had its exciting moments and a plot that I didn't truly see clearly until it actually HAPPENED (OMG...when it happened, it SO happened!), I had a hard time liking the characters. I mean, Stacey had her moments of likability, but honestly, she was still a few cards shy of a deck. Ann, on the other hand, was pretty much holding an empty card box...or marble bag...or domino container...if you catch my drift. Yes, she had a few good reasons to push herself over the edge, but still, the spiral, OH THE SPIRAL! Jenna was...a wild card. She came off sweet, and clueless, but I don't know...there was still something there, and in a passage or two that facade seemed to slip, if only for a moment...making me think there was a bit more calculation to that girl than met the eye.

In short, it was a crazy trip behind the scenes of how some of your favorite TV show dramas come to be...though as this is Fiction, hopefully without such an EXPLOSIVE end. *-* Once you start, you won't be able to stop as it compulsively drives you forward with its dark humor and jaw dropping moments. It surprises while it entertains, leaving the "viewing audience" with something to ponder after the "series finale".
