The best moments of Fox's new series Pivoting bring the characters played by Maggie Q, Ginnifer Goodwin and Eliza Coupe crashing together. Moving forward, it'd be smart for the show to lean on the women as a trio as much as they lean on each other
) take a closer look at their own lives and decide they don’t love what they see. The show only reveals bits and pieces about the friend who died , but the one thing they can all apparently agree on was that Colleen was an excellent, patient mother and the glue generally holding their friend group together.
Jodie, stuck in an unsatisfying marriage and desperate for a hint of excitement, doubles down on exercise — or, more accurately, sessions with her hot trainer . Sarah quits her exhausting job as an emergency room doctor and takes a job as a grocery bagger, hoping to find fulfillment in a job that’s ostensibly less demanding. Amy, reluctantly, tries to spend more of her spare time with her kids, whom she loves as much as she fears.
Goodwin, Q, and Coupe immediately prove why they were cast, each embracing her respective character and her relationships with the others. Goodwin gets the show’s broadest material, which doesn’t always land, but which she always approaches with an irresistible enthusiasm. Coupe could play this kind of wry, sardonic character in her sleep, but she’s especially good in “Pivoting” opposite Tommy Dewey as Amy’s husband, who’s both amused by her and unafraid to call her out when need be.
In the first three episodes, “Pivoting” largely sticks to keeping Amy, Jodie, and Sarah on their three distinct paths to happiness, with Amy finding her own version of maternal instinct, Sarah forging a new path after leaving medicine and her cheating wife , and Jodie … squeezing on tiny skinny jeans to feel hot for her trainer. But the best moments of “Pivoting” are the ones that bring all three friends crashing together, which brings out the best in the writing and acting both.
