Synopsis

Meet Savi, a successful career woman working toward the next phase in her life—both professional and personal—simultaneously bucking for partner at her law firm while she and her husband, Harry, try to start a family of their own. Savi's free-spirited and capricious baby sister, Josselyn, couldn't be more different—living single, serial dating and partying, and regularly leaning on her big sister along the way. Their common best friend, April, a recent widow and mother of two, is rebuilding her life after tragedy and learning to move forward, with the support and guidance of her closest girlfriends. And friend Karen, a successful therapist with her own practice, reconnects with the girls after her involvement in a complicated relationship with a patient goes far too deep.

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Sarah Coleman My life was destroyed when my husband sent me packing, after 13 years we have been together. I was lost and helpless after trying so many ways to my husband back to me. One day at work, I was distracted, not knowing that my boss called me, so he sat and asked me what it was all about, I told him and he smiled and said it was no problem. I never understood what he meant by it was no problem getting back my husband, he said he used a spell to get back his wife when she left him for another man, and now they are together till date and initially I was shocked hearing something from my boss. He gave me an email address of the Prophet abuvia which helped him get his wife back, I never believed that this would work, but I had no choice coming into contact with the sayings that I get done, and he asked for my information and that my husband was able to propose to throw him the spell and I sent him the details, but after two days, my mother called me that my husband was pleading that he wants me back, I never believed, because it was just a dream and I had to rush off to my mother's place and to my greatest surprise, was kneeling my husband beg me for forgiveness that he wants me and the child back home, when I gave prophet abuvia a conversation regarding sudden change of my husband and he made clear to me that my husband will love me until the end of the world, that he will never leave for another woman. Now me and my husband is back together and started doing funny things he has not done before, he makes me happy and do what it is suppose to do as a man without nagging. Please if you need help of any kind need, please contact Abuvia Prophet for help. His email is prophet.abuvia @ g m a i l. com his website is prophetabuviasolutiontemple. webs. com
Frank Wells Many people seem to believe that this is a show about a bunch of sluts. Now, let me tell you. It is NOT. It was only the trailer of the show that made the show seem this way and already at the 4th episode, all the sex is decreasing. Yes, the later episodes squeeze in a small amount of sex but that's all. I don't get why other shows such as How I Met Your Mother with Neil Patrick Harris f*cking more than a thousand (or two hundred, I forget) girls is acceptable but four women having just one partner (each) makes this the most degrading show on the network.Moving on, Mistresses is a well made ABC TV show and I think that it is one of the most underrated shows there is. The story follows personal problems of four women and how they deal with it. Let me now judge on the storyline and structure of the show. I believe that it flows just nicely although Savi keeps procrastinating when it comes to revealing the baby daddy is pretty annoying (as it was first suspenseful). This show continues to surprise you as the season goes, dropping bombshells at you with well structured twists. I'm a fan of this show. The creators of ABC's Mistresses did well when they add pinches of comedy and spoonfuls of emotional scenes in the show in just the right places, making it a light-hearted as well as interesting. Mistresses' greatest tactic to lure their fans to watch the next episodes is suspense and it's working just fine. This show makes you dodge between which character you like and who you want to live happily ever after and that's one of the smallest things that makes you love the show.For example, I like Harry but at the same time I like Dominic, and so, this show battles your emotions and makes you like both characters then makes you choose between on (on who gets their happily ever afters) only to drop a sh*t-load of a surprise on you in the end. The acting is acceptable. Alyssa Milano delivers the best performance from the four although they are good. Jes McCallan DOES need an acting coach though, honestly speaking. Anyways...Well done, ABC! 10/10
Patricia Moretti As with any new show, the characters grow with each episode. I think this show is well written and I have looked forward to each upcoming episode. There is suspense, which is always a good tease. I do not like reality shows so this is a very welcome show as was Ringer with Sarah Michelle Geller but that one was canceled. Let's hope this one is not canceled! I do not think it puts women down or makes them look stupid as some other viewers have stated. They all have very successful careers and you cannot achieve that being stupid. I do think it does show human vulnerability. People make mistakes, it's how we deal with those mistakes that matters and I think this show addresses exactly that. TV is for entertainment and this show is entertaining! So sit back, relax and enjoy!!!
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.
