Based on a popular UK TV series of the same name, this provocative drama follows the scandalous -- and steamy -- lives of a sassy group of female friends. As the women navigate romantic relationships complete with excitement, betrayal and secrecy, and explore their own boundaries, they turn to each other for support and guidance. The group of friends includes Josslyn Carver, a willful free spirit, Karen Kim, a therapist who has had issues with boundaries, and April Malloy, who is raising a spirited daughter named Lucy.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Mistresses offers fleeting moments of trashy fun, but it's mostly a soapy melodrama that's lacking a strong narrative pull.

Willa Paskin Salon.com It's not very good. It is, however, the kind of not very good one might at least consider watching during summer, the season when trashy content is at its most appealing and the competition at its least thick. Jun 4, 2013 Full Review Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times Creator K.J. Steinberg... appears more interested in replicating plot from the British version rather than character or anything like nuance. Jun 3, 2013 Full Review Carrie Raisler AV Club Too narratively banal to be memorable and not nearly sexy enough to make up for its narrative shortcomings. Rated: C- Jun 3, 2013 Full Review Jessica Johnson Time Out Chicago This mopey melodrama about four women wrestling with infidelities in their relationships should have stayed on the shelf. Jul 2, 2018 Full Review Liane Bonin Starr HitFix Is it smart? No. But then, who wants to think too much about a show focused on screwing around? Relax, pour a drink, and be glad you're not paying to watch. Jun 4, 2013 Full Review Christine Orlando TV Fanatic Mistresses is the perfect ride for a long, hot summer. Rated: 4.3/5 Jun 3, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews
