Mistresses

ABC's new prime soap is a watch for me because I'm a fan of the sexy Alyssa Milano(I remember her sexy colored bra wearing days on "Charmed"!)it focuses on the life and times of four beautiful California ladies. And the drama of bed hopping, affairs, guilt, regret, and secrets all so far have dominated the series. Savi(the still sexy Milano)is a high class and professional attorney who has a thing for her African American male co partner, and these little sessions can lead to a big secret. And then little sister Josslyn(Jes Macallan)a real estate agent who's a wild free spirit who plays the strange bedfellow games as she swings both ways in the bedroom even liking her fellow female kittens! Then just widowed April(Rochelle Ayees) feels a lot of pain and hurt from her dead husband's affair, and to round out the four is cute Asian Karen(Yunjin Kim)a counselor who's now dead patient and former love interest has a son who's interested in her! Wow it's all drama and complex with love, sex, and guilt, with denial, pain and secrets and a watch for any Alyssa Milano fan she's still hot!

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.

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.

I don't understand why that would leave us like that with the last episode knowing the ending that y'all had planned for the show there were so many questions unanswered I just really have to smh at this . When the season start to prick and and finally you're on the edge of you seat with your eyes glued waiting to find out what new problems they will face and you guy go a putt this Thanks ABC NO I KNOW WHAT IT Really STAND FOR ALL BOUT CANCELING 😫😫😫😫😫

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.
