I read Liz Duffy Adams' script Or, (the comma is part of the show title) a few months ago, when I admired rather than enjoyed it. I couldn't visualize all its chaotic comings and goings. As with any sex farce, it turns out Or, has to be seen to be fully appreciated.

There's plenty of smooching and sex talk in Harlequin Production's Or, as its primary characters are what the English of their time label "libertines." We'd more likely call them swingers or (in a praiseworthy turn of phrase popularized by Easton and Hardy in 1997) "ethical sluts." The show becomes a highbrow reflection of that inexplicably cherished 1970s sitcom, Three's Company, in which pansexual hijinks were always on the other side of any closed door.
