In the show, Alicia Silverstone plays Bonnie Nolan, who, when we meet her, has the perfect Beverly Hills life, until she discovers her husband (James Tupper) is cheating on her. Rather than put up with an unfaithful spouse, as so many other women would have in 1975, when this series is set, the mother of two is determined to make it without him.

My hilarious girls @menasuvari @thejenbartels. Loved working with you ladies! Don't miss the season finale of @americanwomantv tomorrow night at 10/9c on @paramountnetwork!

Easier said than done, with the odds stacked against a woman whose job has been to stay at home with the kids and host swanky poolside parties at the now-estranged couple's pad. Despite some none-too-subtle performances from the cast, which also includes Mena Suvari as one of Bonnie's BFFs, and heavy-handed dialogue – “This isn’t a democracy, it’s a marriage” – this is an easy-to-binge dramedy. (On Stan from Fri., Dec. 14) 3 stars

A pop culture enthusiast from a young age, Gavin is equally passionate about great pop music (’80s synthpop, ’10s dream pop), gripping TV series (Friday Night Lights, The Handmaid’s Tale) and trips to the cinema (I love a blockbuster as much as anyone, but I’m done with the superhero thing).
