Sure, the American version is ok-ish. It's like Warren Beatty's Shampoo in TV show form with superficial middle-class people pretending to be rich rather than actually-rich superficial people. But the Australian original is a masterpiece. Each character is deliciously quirky, from slightly-overweight, spoiled recent divorcée (or, as coined, seperatée) to an older divorcée facing another marriage, to a sports-loving morbidly obese friend frequently treated with disdain. What's not to love? Throw in a metrosexual butcher as a spouse, and the Computa-City salesman as the other spouse, whose constant cheating and fear of being called a wussy overcomes all other feelings. You just have to watch it to get what I'm saying... of course. 4.10.2009
