Mistresses

Listen, I get it. It makes women seem naive, vulnerable, blah, blah, blah. THAT'S WHAT I ENJOY WATCHING. I don't want to come home from a 12-hour shift to watch something based in reality. I want something fluffy and ridiculous. Perhaps there are others that disagree with me. That's fine. But I do believe that you all should take this show for what it is. It's a one-hour escape from reality. And yes, the plot is silly and the acting is a bit forced. But is there really a need to attack it for lacking a feminist viewpoint? I see the real world every day. I don't need to see it when I kick back with a miller light and a puzzle. I don't get all the reviews that this is putting women back "30 years" and is "demoralizing." It's a F*CKING ABC soap opera. Leave your far-left feminist ideology at the door and have some fun.

A nice, distractive and entertaining series that I liked very much. It was fun to follow the likable, beautiful and interesting actresses' day by day life in it. It had very good music, songs and atmosphere and was still full of promise when they decided to cancel it.

A shame as always, because as it has become a habit, viewers' points of view and cravings do not count!

We need more of series like that. Lovely yet serious on all points.

I am really finding it to be fast moving, a bit of drama and fun in places - no long dragged out scenes or shots. I like the 4 stories happening at the same time - shows everyone has their own issues and yet the 4 girls can come together and socialize and discuss each others. I don't think its just for women as I am a male and find a women's point of view and desires, interesting. I love the great clothes worn by the females and each of the 4 is attractive in a different way. I don't agree that the acting is below standard on the whole it may be so for a couple of characters but its no worse than a typical US TV show. It may be that the Australian husband of the lawyer woman (forget her name) sounds strange to the US market.

I really like Alyssa Milano and I was hoping this show wasn't just about a bunch of sluts... And it wasn't!

It's actually about relationships and I'm looking forward to next week. I hope the writing stays sharp and the plots stay interesting, and I hope there's not too much gratuitous sex. Please let it stay classy!

I think it was fun and I don't agree with the reviewer who said it sets women back. At all.

I hope the show explores some of the guilt that I imagine would be associated with having an affair. It will make the characters seem identifiable and human.

Please don't cancel this show!

I think that this show was pretty well done. It was the pilot after all, so it was bound to be a bit rocky to begin with, but I don't think that it deserves the bad rap that it has been getting.

One thing that I find frustrating is how so many people seem to think that this show is degrading, setting women back or just a terrible show in general because it shows women being sexual. It may not be with their husbands (I mean it's called Mistresses after all, did no one know what was coming?), but has no one seen Mad Men? Granted it is not on a cable network like AMC as Mad Men is, but I feel that this is a bit of a double standard.

Honestly, I didn't think it was all that racy. I thought it was a different perspective and it has some fun, suspenseful moments and I am interested in seeing them play out.
