Reformed party girl Kate hopes that the third time is the charm when she becomes Pete's next bride. A year after literally falling into his arms at a karaoke bar, she now has an instant family of three stepchildren and Pete's two ex-wives. Diane, the first one, is an intense overachiever who is quick to convey disapproval of Kate's spare maternal instinct. Jackie, the second one, is neurotic but adept at pulling Pete's strings. Kate turns to her friend Meg for support, but Meg is single and has even less experience with kids.

Despite all the things working against itself in the Trophy Wife pilot - having its protagonist be drunk for half the episode chief among them - there's a certain charm and confidence to the show's opening episode. Go to Full Review Terence Johnson AwardsCircuit.com 08/27/2018

Adam M. @msgtadam 08/01/2025 It’s a pretty good series. Surprised it was gone after 1 season See more 01/14/2014 This show is horrible! The writing is not at all witty and the cast isn't talented enough to fake it. See more 12/10/2013 This new comedy sees a somewhat different story, with a wife of a lawyer with two other ex-wives, and children from the past two, which creates comedic diversity. This series has its flaws, including its dependence on drinking and sex jokes, but it also provides a rather satirical view of what is considered a rather provocative lifestyle and family. See more 12/09/2013 Surprisingly cuter than I expected. And Albert Tsai is great. Every time he winks I cry laughing. See more Read all reviews
