The show doesn’t sugarcoat divorce. It’s messy, expensive, and involves a lot of passive-aggressive texts. Chloe’s ex-husband, let’s call him “Boring Bob,” still owes her money and keeps showing up at her yoga class. Mood. The difference is that Bob’s new girlfriend is an undercover cop, and Chloe’s new husband dispatches problems with a stern look and a phone call to “Uncle Vito.”

It’s relatable because we’ve all had that ex who just won’t go away. But while you might block their number, Chloe gets a security detail. It’s like having a group chat that’s actually useful—if that group chat was armed and knew how to dispose of a body.
The Relationship Advice From This Show Is Surprisingly Solid
Now, I’m not saying you should marry a mob boss. But the series nails one thing: boundaries. Chloe quickly learns that you can’t let people walk all over you—even if they’re wearing custom loafers and smell like expensive cologne. She starts saying “no” to her new husband’s demands, and he actually respects her for it. That’s a lesson for anyone who’s ever let a partner dictate the dinner plans.
Also, communication is key. In one episode, Chloe wants to go out with friends, but her husband’s enemies are tailing her. Instead of a screaming match, they compromise: she gets a chaperone named “Luca,” who is very tall and eats all her fries. See? It’s just like navigating whose turn it is to do dishes, but with more stakeouts.
