The Ex-Wives Club

Watching the exes go through the wringer isn't easy. In one group session, for example, Ford asks folks to remember the cruel words their exes spoke to them during the divorce process, which leaves one man crying and trembling with incredible grief and anger. The ladies are quick to tap into their subjects' anger, too -- Ford leads the group in a blindfolded shouting exercise, in which they scream and yell empowering messages, letting their rage out in the process; in other segments, exes find ways (with the guidance of the celeb exes) to rid themselves and their environments of their past, often by changing either the appearance of their home or themselves (and sometimes both). Some also carry out elaborate, cathartic pretend revenge scenarios -- like throwing a car out of a plane, for example.

With its obviously mature themes, The Ex-Wives Club isn't for kids or really even most teens, though mature adolescents might gain some tools for dealing with anger and emotional pain. Parents should preview an episode to judge whether material seems appropriate for their child.
