What She’s Having very closely mirrors the experience of many women in America today, both single and married. Stephanie and Barbara, are in very different places in their lives, having taken different paths.
Stephanie is married and has traded her career as a District Attorney for two young children and a life of family responsibilities. Barbara is a successful magazine editor and single, partly by choice and partly from a lack of men who meet her ever-rising standards. Through them, we look at today’s women and the lives they build through the choices they make. At its core, it is a show about a female friendship with all the complexity, inexplicability, tension and support such a friendship entails.
What She’s Having, like life, takes unexpected turns. Like life, issues and relationships remain unresolved. Like life, it is nothing like reality television. This show has a unique story-telling structure; it’s a female-driven, single-camera half-hour that is neither a flat-out comedy nor a full-blown drama. It’s risky. And, there are poop jokes.
