Eastwick Is Girls' Night Out On Steroids

By:


I always look forward to girls' night out. It's the time when my friends and I can vent and express whatever is on our minds or in our hearts. While watching the previews for ABC's new show Eastwick, I felt like the show writers must have been sitting at a nearby table, taking notes from one of our girls' night conversations.

The storyline is about three women who live in a small town. These women have powers that they haven't yet discovered, but are about to. One day they are at a fountain and they each make a wish. What do they wish for? The types of things my girlfriends and I talk about all the time. One wishes that, instead of always taking care of everyone else, someone would take care of her for a change. One wishes to meet a man who just "gets" her. The third says that it feels like she is forever doomed to stand next to what she wants instead of actually getting it and wishes that might change. The moment I heard these wishes, the show grabbed my attention. Whoever wrote the script knows what women talk about; our dreams, our fantasies, our frustrations.

So do these wishes come true? It looks like they come about through magic. A man comes to town and, just like Jack Nicholas in the movie The Witches of Eastwick, which I'm guessing was the inspiration for this show, he's a devil that will both help and harm the women.

It will be interesting to see how these characters react to their newly found powers. If the reactions of the women are as realistic as the wishes they made, then Eastwick could replace Sex in the City as the show women connect with. Even though it's about magic and supernatural powers, it's also about the situations that many of us face in our own lives. The magic just makes it cooler. I'd love to be able to control lightning and use pychic abilities to improve my life. What a perfect escape after a long day at work. And if this show is done right, it will not only address the themes that women connect with, but also ask the powerful question that the movie also raised, the question of what price we'd be willing to pay to realize our dreams.

I'll be anxiously waiting to see if Eastwick will live up to this potential.
