Mistresses (Volume 1)

Synopsis: Set in a world where friends have become the new family, Mistresses follows the lives and loves of a group of girlfriends whose lives have taken very different turns. Successful lawyer, Siobhan, seems to be living in wedded bliss with husband, Hari, but her eyes begin to wander when her sex life becomes less about 'making love' and more about 'making babies.' Trudi, a 9/11 widow, finds comfort in the arms of a man, Richard, after spending six years grieving her husband's death. Meanwhile, Jessica seduces her boss and pursues Alex, one half of a lesbian couple, while Katie, a well respected doctor and the rock of the group, begins an affair with a married patient. Their tangled web of love and deceit envelops all four friends with life-changing results.

Cast: Sarah Parish, Sharon Small, Shelley Conn, Orla Brady, Raza Jaffrey, Adam Rayner, Patrick Baladi, Adam Astill, Anna Torv, Max Brown

Recommendations: I just wrote a review for the DVD and I think it's pretty clear that I am a huge fan of the show.

Mistresses: Volume One DVD

MISTRESSES: Volume One will be released on DVD tomorrow, June 9, 2009. The DVD includes all 12 episodes from season 1 and 2, in addition to cast interviews and 'The Making of Mistresses' featurette.

Some of you might already know that I am a huge fan of Mistresses so it should come as no surprise that I am really excited that a DVD including all the episodes is getting released.

I got an early look at the DVD itself, and I have to say this is perfect for fans of the show that want to watch the episodes over and over again. And for those of you who have not yet jumped on the train, I have to ask, what are you waiting for?

Mistresses is one of the best written shows about women, their love lives, their affairs, and friendships. The show follows four 30-something friends as they deal with their complicated and intense lives.

MISTRESSES Season 2 Premiere (BBC America)

Mistresses Season 2

So you guys fell in love with season one of MISTRESSES and tonight, March 3rd, BBC America will premiere the second season of the show.

So what will become of Katie, Trudi, Siobhan, and Jessica? Well, you won't have to wait long to find out.

Having seen the first episode, I can tell you that this is the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of all four women and if you enjoyed the first season, then you'll definitely enjoy finding out what new drama will befall each of them once again.

After her affair with father and son, Katie has sworn off relationships for a while, but as you probably guessed, this won't last very long.

Trudi is trying to get to the next level of her relationship with Richard.

Jessica is, well, Jessica. Although you might be surprised to learn she might have found her other half.

And finally, as for Siobhan, she is still trying to work things out with Hari. But I gotta admit having lost all sympathy for her. I do hope she will redeem herself during the rest of the season.

Overall, it's quite a great second season premiere and Mistresses continues to be one of the best shows on television.

With that say make sure you don't miss tonight's season two premiere of Mistresses at 8pm on BBC America.

BBC America's MISTRESSES First Look

Mistresses - Jessica (Shelley Conn), Trudi (Sharon Small), Katie (Sarah Parish), Siobhan (Orla Brady)

On February 20 at 8pm, BBC America will premiere a new series, MISTRESSES. Ladies, let me tell you one thing: Don't miss this!

I am usually a big fan of all the BBC America shows, and so when I got to take a look at their new show Mistresses, I was sort of excited. Unfortunately, I wasn't too blown away by the first episode and was even thinking of writing an average review for it. But before doing that I decided to watch the entire first series to really get an overview of the show. And it's a good thing I did because I don't know what happened but that second episode sucked me into the show to the point where I couldn't stop watching. Any empty moment I had, I would pop that DVD right in to find out what happened next. Even now, after watching the first season, I cannot wait to start watching the next one.
