[neverending]

I think what hey're doing is a high-falutin' metaphor kinda thing- and equating a broken marraige to a horror story, so what you two see as filler, is actually the meat of the story, that every other plot revolves around. Dylan McDermott's character is literally haunted by his extra-marital affairs, and the wife is stuck in a marraige to a man she no longer loves and may very well be having another child with. Her situation is echoed by Jessica Lange's character.

I love seeing Dylan McDermott getting himself in deeper and deeper shit as time goes by. You can't help but chuckle with glee as every new twist to his story comes about.
