"So, who else obliged the sultry ABC &amp;quot;maaaan caaaaannnndy&amp;quot; promo voice last night and watched Mistresses after sitting through The Bachelorette? (I said out loud to myself: &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;m not watching this because of the stupid promo. I was already planning to watch it.&amp;quot;) Anyway, the show was about what I expected&amp;amp;#8212;save for the way, Anna and I agreed, Alyssa Milano seemed a little uncomfortable at all times? I can&amp;#x27;t put my finger on it. It was soapy, and unapologetically cheesy, and full of drama on steroids (they didn&amp;#x27;t even make us wait till episode 2 for Alyssa to cheat on her Curtis Stone-esque husband!). Here&amp;#x27;s what was slightly unexpected, in a good way: the different perspectives on affairs that are explored in the show. I was envisioning, before watching, four bandage-dressed women toasting to their various adulterous exploits. But it&amp;#x27;s a bit more grounded than that. (And yes, I&amp;#x27;m using the word &amp;quot;grounded&amp;quot; about this show despite the fact that, whoopsie, Alyssa showed her hottie garters in a status meeting!). There&amp;#x27;s a good amount of guilt in this show&amp;amp;#8212;so much, in fact, that at times I had to remind myself that I wasn&amp;#x27;t in trouble and I didn&amp;#x27;t do anything wrong. Phew. Downsides: I didn&amp;#x27;t quite buy Alyssa&amp;#x27;s super-charged road to cheaterland, and I could do without the general Samantha Jones-ishness of the wild-child character. So overall, I&amp;#x27;m gonna give Mistresses a B&amp;amp;#8212;B as in bad, but good-bad. And you know what? We don&amp;#x27;t need to channel a cute animal this time, because we have Jason George in a crisp suit to go with today&amp;#x27;s kindly temperatures: And Jason George is what summer is all about. What did you think of Mistresses? Photo: ABC"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
