What I'm Watching: Swingtown

Swingtown: Season 1, Episode 11 "Get Down Tonight" (B-)

I must say, this is a terrific episode for Janet, a character who has always been played very well by Miriam Shor. Now she finally gets the chance to take charge when she should be in charge, excelling at her new job and sternly but effectively threatening her boss' policy of sexual harassment. I hope Roger does gets a job soon because this can only last so long, but it's good to see him interacting more with Susan. I really do hope that he and Susan don't get caught by Janet, because that will not turn out well for anyone involved. I do love the therapy sessions and the idea that, much as it didn't really seem that way at first, Susan really is just as in love with Roger as he is with her. Two more episodes left, possibly forever. Can this show outlive the summer?
