Members Jonathan Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 I just watched the UK pilot episode and it definitely has a darker tone than its US counterpart. I much prefer the American version. It's lighter, a little bit more fun, and perfect for the summer. I don't like Yunjin Kim in her role though. She seems stale. But if they are going to feature an Asian female, at least they didn't go with the usual pick of Lindsay Price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 Price is the usual pick for these kinds of shows (and Ming-Na for the more dramatic or serious ones.) Funny, because a lot of the critics say that the sex seems a lot less fun in the US version--more like something with serious repercussions. Those reviews were based on three episodes, and it's too early for myself to say, but... (Though I admit I got a weird vibe from the whole Jason George "I'll do your work if I can see your panties" element that I didn't in the UK one--maybe cuz Jason George is always so charming and non-creepy and yet has to play a character who is essentially sexually harassing her...>) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 But some of them are the wives (or ex wives) not the misstresses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 Oh please. Daytime soaps have been doing that for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 . I'm not disagreeing but the title just bothers me. They probably might have been able to hook me in had it been called something else but I'm already turned off. To quote Traci from Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, all I see the word Mistresses, all I see is Hos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 Yeah I keep hearing a lot of people say that. However a chunk of those people watch Scandal for Olivia the jumpoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soaplovers Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 The main problem I had with the pilot was that I didn't care about any of the 4 women.. and that is a kiss of death for a show such as this. I'll give it another couple of episodes to see if that changes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gtru1981 Posted June 9, 2013 Members Share Posted June 9, 2013 I watched the pilot, man this show was SO BORING! If its a show about Skanks, they did a terrible job and that is the issue with Network TV. They make everything so PG and its boring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted June 9, 2013 Members Share Posted June 9, 2013 I watched the pilot to give this show a fair shot... 1) It's so bland being set in Los Angeles, and the glossy, fake Los Angeles at that, not even the "gritty" 'Melrose Place' Los Angeles. 2) I didn't give a damn about any of the characters by the time the pilot was over. It was dull. 3) Not one tenth as interesting as the UK version, wasn't like the UK version at all. This is 'Mistresses' in name only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted June 11, 2013 Members Share Posted June 11, 2013 Little underwhelmed by episode 2. I spent more time cringing at Alyssa's wardrobe than paying attention to the plot. Oh, other than Karen's hot doctor pal. Girl oughta hit that to forget about Mr. DeadGuy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted June 11, 2013 Members Share Posted June 11, 2013 LOL I had the exact same thoughts! I don't know if Alyssa's wardrobe was bad or if she just could not pull it off at all, on top of it not fitting her well. Yes, she should totally hit that! I did like that they were at least smart about it and checked to make sure that the other woman wasn't a fraud. Jocelyn continues to be a lot of fun.

Members P.J. Posted June 11, 2013 Members Share Posted June 11, 2013 I kept wondering who decided she should dress like an old boring drag queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted June 12, 2013 Members Share Posted June 12, 2013 Episode 2 was a snoozefest. I didn't notice AM had curves until recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
