Hey everyone! A headsup that The Starter Wife that's starting is the full series, based on the mini-series.

The show itself has a six episode mini-series too - this was on M-Net in 2008. It won Golden Globes and a 10-episode series was made as a result: this is the series that's starting.

The series picks up from where the mini-series left off but it's a self-contained story and series so you don't have to have seen the mini-series for it.
