    I saw the first episode last week and it is not half-bad. Set in 70s US suburbia, a new couple are being seduced into wife-swapping fun, everyone's on the pill and having fun. Of course aids hasn't reared it's ugly head yet.

    It's implied because it's airing on TV3 but it's worth knowing the show's cancelled.

    Its about the sexual revolution in the USA in the 1970s, and the whole "swinging" scene that was popular back then.

    Great soundtrack to the show really takes you back.

    Love the soundtrack but I'm of an age to remember the renowned swinging parties of the early 80's in certain parts of Ireland. ;)
