I have to agree with the OP on this one. I just finished season one and I am into season two. Heard so much about this show that I was looking forward to it. Ford and Tench have so much on their plate with these intense stories. But their private lives just call a screeching halt to their fascinating professional lives.
“We interrupt this crime drama for a time out to examine the whiny, boring women in their lives”. It’ like a commercial break for advertising, “Don’t get married. Stay single”.😒
Ford’s girlfriend was working and had plans to go for a doctorate. Why was she being a pain in the butt because her boyfriend was busy too?
Tench’s wife sure had her hands full with holding down the fort alone and dealing with a strange kid with mental problems. But couldn’t she give her husband a break? The guy’s job with extremely stressful. I may be an old fashioned gal, but I think a wife should try to create a relaxing, pleasant home life for her husband to return to. Especially if he has a job like Tench and she does not work outside the home.
It was really irritating when the men at the barbecue asked Tench about his work and he started to talk about it. They were fascinated about hearing stuff about Kemper and Richard Speck. It wasn’t like he dragged them off and forced them to listen! They wanted to hear his stories.
But Nancy interrupted and scolded him for talking about his job. The one wife shuddered and said she didn’t sleep for a month after the Speck murders. Well fine! Don’t listen. Go off and trade recipes with the other wives. I for one, would have been all ears and fascinated to hear him speak
But the man is scolded in his own backyard. It’s HIS house too! He pays the mortgage. Why can’t he talk about what he wants in his own home?
And anyway, it’s not like Nancy was some gorgeous looker that he couldn’t wait to come home to. No looks and no personality either.
