Ann Kristin Andersen Every season has been fun, dramatic, sad and uplifting. A great series in this genre is what I think. No spoiler - But every season has ended with me thinking " It is TOO long of a wait for next season" - Just so good in my opinion !! And now, I am almost a bit frantic that there is no date or year set for next season.. Crossing all my limbs here.. Love this show - and if you are into this type of plot - I think you will love it too :)*possible spoiler* Great actors and actresses - although I at first missed the one main person a bit, it got solved by pretty good happenings and turn of events - still just so exciting - Lots of drama, but not tacky drama : Thrilling drama! Love the script and cast engaged in this series. Hope there will be many more seasons. I absolutely advise FOR this lovable to be watched! Try it :)

k_dawson Great program and should be watched by people who love these kind of shows. I've watched the British series which was brilliant but i am NOT going to say how brilliant that was and that you should just watch ours instead.I will comment on the American series that i am enjoying immensely. Every episode leaves you wanting more as the show has so much going on that stops it from being boring and keeps you really interested and wanting the next episode straight away. The characters all have something going on in their lives which is great as you don't get bored concentrating on just one character. Joss is my favorite as she is wild and funny but the group still love her lots and need her advice just as much as the other three women. Anyway,a fun show that should be watched or at least given a chance. Also good to see the good looking English actor Ricky Whittle appear in series two. Plays a really good part just like the rest of them..

telesfunken First season was interesting, I think it's great that someone had the idea of looking into the minds and hearts of the mistresses who are not always bad people and also have feelings. Yunjin Kim does a great job, no doubt about that. Alyssa is... well Alyssa. And she's doing her thing, no complaints there. Rochelle Aytes in my opinion has the most boring character but she pulls it off nicely and Jes Macallan is a breath of fresh air, she's dynamic, cute but not intimidatingly cute and she brings a touch of youth to the show. Now the second season seems to be ruining it with a couple of unrealistic characters that really just made me roll my eyes every time I had to watch them. Rebeka Montoya's and Ricky Whittle characters really seem way over the top to me. Does Daniel Zamora owns a shirt? And what's with the morning glittery body and the cheap jewelery? His love scenes with April looked like a tacky Toni Braxton video. As to Miss Antonia what's-her-name, I just have a couple of questions, the first one being: Really? Is she a lawyer or a cheap prostitute? I can't tell with the Barbie outfits that they make her wear. I totally respect the actress and I actually feel sorry for her but honestly, her first appearance in the show was around 10 seconds long and it was more than enough to see that she was going to be the slut of the season. When the writers want to be so obvious it makes me feel one of two things: either they think I'm too stupid to get subtlety or they just want to make fast statements to get on with it. Also, a brunette, a blonde, an African-American and an Asian as stars of the show... Benetton much?

raspick ssq Mistresses UK (the original BBC version) is one of my favourite TV shows. I have seen it so many times, it is that good. So when I heard that there was going to be a US version, I was so excited and I have been waiting for it to air for ages.Sadly this version is such a let-down. One of the best things about the original BBC version was the chemistry between the actors; not just between the lovers but also between the friends and especially between Siobhan (now called Savi in the US version) and Dominic vs. Hari (now called Harry). The actors that play the parts in the US version are great individually but there is just no spark between them. In the UK version, the sexual tension within the law firm was built up to the level that it became so palpable, you actually began rooting for Siobhan and Dom (even though they were cheating). Here however, it just came about - garter...slap bang! and we are left wondering what the?!? The same goes for the relationship between Dr Karen and Sam, her dead lovers son. In the UK version it was very well and richly drawn out with a lot of real emotional angst...from the funeral to the son becoming so obsessed about his dad having an affair before he died, to his search for his dad's 'mistress' and the mystery surrounding his dad's death while at the same time falling in love with Karen who against all odds (and moral conscience) falls right back in love with him. It was presented as being morally questionable (so, no, the show does not glorify infidelity as reviewers above seem to indicate, but shows how easy it is to fall for the wrong person and the real consequences of such a lack or lapse of self control) but it was done in a way that it was both sympathetic and believable. Not so with the US version where everything just looks shoddy and badly written.In Mistresses US, Dr Karen and Sam are totally mismatched and their acting is horribly wooden, uncomfortable to watch and just plain weird. But by far the worst offender is the character Joss, who, in the UK version was this well spoken, well dressed, beautiful, sexually liberated free spirit (latterly turned lesbian) and was a friend of the gals. In Mistresses US, she has become Savi's sister (why sister - total mismatch?) who dresses like a tramp and this breaks up what was already a strained dynamic (by that I mean that the 3 'friends' in Mistresses US do not seem to 'gel' at all...their relationship seems forced, like they are 3 acquaintances who meet up once in a while rather than what was 4 inseparable best mates in Mistresses UK). Also, the whole lesbian affair storyline here was just damp and spark-less...in the UK version it was meaningful, painful and believable rather than some sort of experiment that went wrong. Maybe there is more to come in the future about this. There is nothing redeemable about Mistresses US. I have just finished episode 6 and I really don't know if it is worth continuing. Rochelle and Alyssa are great, but they've been let down by the script. Maybe if I had never seen (and seen again and then again) our version (UK) I would have taken to this but...I really don't know why they changed so much of it. It was already a masterpiece. If you haven't already seen the UK version, please do so, maybe even concurrently.
