[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find the dialogue really stilted. The conversation between he ex and the current husband felt so damn fake. That said, I like the eye candy (scenery and human), the music, and of course the mystery, so I'll keep watching.[/quote]

I wasn't sure I was "getting" the whole confrontation between the two husbands.  What is the undercurrent of hostility there?  Is Madeline's current husband feeling less than masculine, and has a chip on his shoulder about it?  Clue me in.[/quote]
Well he expressly said at least twice that he was the consolation prize. [/quote]

I haven't read the book, but my take on watching the episodes is the ex-husband requests the meet up with husband #2 to get him to tell Madeline to be nicer to Bonnie (Zoe Kravitz, who is always being super nice).  Madeline was mad at Bonnie for taking her daughter to planned parenthood without telling Madeline first, and you see Madeline yell at Bonnie in the school parking lot about it.  I don't think men act like this, calling one another to meet in person to discuss some drama, but here they do. So they meet at the beach and ex-husband acts kind of like a dick, and I think husband #2 at that moment realizes that there are some truths to the complaints Madeline has made about her ex-husband (he's self centered, is rude, a bit high of himself, etc.) and that the reason Madeline has been complaining isn't because she still is in love with her ex but because, well, he's really a dick.  So then husband #2, now that he has realized this, gets a bit protective and verbally defends Madeline to the surprise of the ex-husbadn (who I sense had thought husband #2 was a pushover and wouldn't have defended Madeline and would have agreed to tell Madeline to back off Bonnie).  Ex-husband gets rude to husband #2, but husband #2 isn't the kind to punch someone so he tells his "i would love to get revenge on a bully" story and rides his bike off into the sunset.  [/quote]
