Killer Women Episodes 1-3 Recaps: Not Chuck Norris In High Heels


"Killer Women" is a six part miniseries airing on ABC on Tuesdays. The final episode airs on February 18. The show is based on an Argentine crime drama. Sofia Vergara is one of the producers. The main character is a Texas Ranger named Molly Parker (played by Tricia Helfer). She's in the midst of a divorce (if her jerk of a husband, Senator Jake Colton, will ever grant it). She's also in love/lust with a DEA drug agent (Dan Winston). Her brother and sister in law are along for the ride. Each week Molly solves a crime committed by another woman hence the title. 

This is no typically the kind of show I watch but I decided to check it out. If you like women kicking ass and lots of eye candy, have a gander.  Below are the first three episode overviews from Wikipedia:

Episode 1: La Sicaria
When Martina Alvarez (Nadine Velazquez) shoots and kills an ADA on her wedding day, it appears to be a case of jealous rage, until Texas Ranger Molly Parker finds several elements of Martina's story that don't add up. Molly also discovers from her new love interest, DEA agent Dan Winston, that the DEA had an upcoming meeting scheduled with the ADA. Meanwhile, Molly tries to get her estranged husband, State Senator Jake Colton, to sign divorce papers, which he's refused to do for over six months.

Episode 2: Some Men Need Killing
A wealthy water park owner is murdered by a professional hitman at a function that Molly and Dan are attending, and suspicion falls on the man's wife, Nan (Melora Hardin), when Molly discovers that he controlled every aspect of her life. But after Nan reveals that the hitman approached her, not the other way around, Molly finds a common thread connecting this murder to similar killings—just in time for Molly to save her abusive husband Jake from becoming the next victim. Becca suspects that Billy has been cheating, as he keeps running out at night. 

Episode 3: Warrior
A series of bank robberies have been attributed to a decorated Army veteran, Andrea Corbett (Peyton McDavitt), who always gives away the money to another veteran that she feels has been wronged. FBI Agent Clark (Aisha Hinds) allows Molly to assist in the capture of Corbett, but the two soon disagree on how to handle the situation when Corbett takes a hostage. Meanwhile, Molly's refusal to attend court-ordered marriage counseling with Jake becomes an issue when Jake fights back by serving a subpoena to Dan, which would jeopardize Dan's status as an undercover DEA agent. Luis later informs Molly that Dan has been shot. Molly also confronts Billy about a lie he told to Becca, presuming that he is covering up an affair.


Grade: 3 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). I would have given it a 3 but I really like eye candy. :) The acting and production values are high but this might be better suited for the Lifetime channel. The plot is pretty limited. Ranger Parker finds the woman who committed said crime (and who may/may not have been wronged), finds clues, stalls till the end of the episode and justice is served. This is not my usual cup of tea though so my opinion is skewed. Check it out yourself and let me know what ya think.
