"Why Women Kill" is an American dark comedy anthology TV series created by Marc Cherry. The show depicts the lives of three women living in three different decades (1960s, 1980s, and 2019) in the same house, each dealing with infidelity in their marriages, which leads to dramatic and deadly consequences. The series combines crime, soap, and mystery elements with dark humor to explore the reasons and events that lead women to commit murder related to betrayal and infidelity. The first season focuses on three women:
- Beth Ann Stanton in the 1960s, a housewife who discovers her husband's affair and struggles with tragedy and betrayal.
- Simone Grove in the 1980s, a socialite dealing with her gay husband's secret and her own affair with her best friend's son.
- Taylor Harding in 2019, a lawyer navigating an open marriage and complicated relationships.
Each woman's storyline culminates in a moment where murder appears as a justifiable reaction to the circumstances involving betrayal and infidelity.
