The show pitched the next big true-crime hit: what happens when men are left to fend for themselves.
Via a series of “never-before-seen interviews” with the men’s partners—played by Veronika Slowikowska, Ashley Padilla, and Sarah Sherman—we soon learned that these spouses hadn’t been abducted at all. Instead, two of the women were traveling. (“I had told Doug about it maybe 45 times,” Slowikowska’s exasperated character said.) Sherman’s character had the most absurd story of the bunch: She happened to just be in the bathroom for a while. With their wives away for a spell, the husbands swiftly unraveled at home.
