Swingtown Review

CBS released a new night time soap (was on Thursdays and has changed to Fridays).

The commercials would lead you to believe the show is all about sex.  It's about relationships, with quite a bit of sex mixed in.  It's for mature audiences.

Setting:  The show takes place on the outskirts of Chicago in the 1970's.

Premise:  Susan and Tom have moved up to a more affluent neighborhood.  They meet the neighbors who introduce them to the swinging lifestyle.  Susan leaves behind her bestfriend, Janet and her husband.  Janet is a bit of a prude and is very jealous of Susan's new life.

I'm sure many would argue about how well the show represents the 1970's, although from what I can remember (a was a young teen), many things seem accurate.  Although, I don't think for one second that everyone was having orgies and swinging.

This show is not going to win any emmys, but I think it's worth checking out if you enjoy soap opera type shows.
