"Close to it.. No ones life is perfect"
And boy was Buffy right.... I mean Siobhan... I mean Bridget... Well whatever! It's great to see Sarah Michelle Geller on screen again, even if she isn't slaying Vampires anymore.
She is, on the other hand, playing a dual role as twin sisters Siobhan and Bridget.
Bridget is an ex addict/exotic dancer/ murder witness. Her sister Siobhan is the Blair of the show, only much more twisted and corrupt as we soon come to learn.
After Bridget escapes a shady motel where she is hiding out from criminal/ killer out to get her, she goes to visit her estranged sister after years of not keeping in touch. The reunion doesn't last long though as Bridget wakes up on a yacht with Siobhan nowhere to be found. Assuming that Siobhan killed herself she sees an easy way out of her own problems and slides into the role of her sister. But as her sister warned her "No ones life is perfect" and Siobhans might have been even worse then Bridget's. Under the picture perfect life we soon find out that Siobhan is in a lonely and loveless marriage, sleeping with her best friends husband, lying to her best friend about it, and on top of all that FOUR MONTHS PREGNANT! After an awkward dinner party with both couples we soon realize that the father of her baby, well her sisters baby might not even be her husband, but her best friends husband aka the lover. Oh what a tangled web they weave. I hope your not lost yet.
Her best friend Gemma comes to a conclusion that she might know who the other woman is and as Bridget/Siobhan heads over to the lofts to comfort her friend she is attacked by a masked man. Her killer Buffy insticts kick in and she shoots the attacker screaming "I'm not who you think I am, I'm not Bridget." But as she reaches into the attackers pocket she finds a picture with Siobhans name under it. Could it possibly be that someone actually wanted to kill Siobhan? And then we are left with the ultimate question. As an ending scene flashes to "Siobhan" in Paris and she eerily stares out the window we begin to wonder is Siobhan really alive? Is this all a set up? Could they be triplets?
I'll admit they've got me hooked.
