Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A good drama Comment: Having watched this on BBC1 recently, I thought it worth a second look and so bought this DVD. It's a great series with really good acting and as long as you suspend reality for some of the time, a good watch. Customer Rating: Summary: I loved this show! Comment: I must admit that though I don't agree with a mandatory license fee, the Beeb do host very good dramas. I thought the storyline was realistic enough, with perhaps one exception though I'll say no more about it. The acting itself was exceptional! Love, anger, confusion, guilt, sorrow, grief, it's all there in spades and as a viewer, you really 'feel' it - the acting is that good. If a second series came out, I'd certainly watch though I'd be happy enough if it were left alone as I liked how things worked out. Customer Rating: Summary: Good old fashioned escapim Comment: The story lines are ridiculous, the cast all far too good looking and the sex scenes pretty cringy- but...this series is captivating and thoroughly enjoyable after a hard day at work. The title is slightly misleading, since technically, only two of four are actually mistresses. Comparisions have been made to sex and the city, but the only real similarity is that the drama focuses on four women. The fashion element certainly isn't there. Sarah Parish is excellent as ever. Orla Brady is also very good. The interesting thing about this drama, which makes it differ to sex and the city, is that the behaviour of some of these women makes them not particularly likeable, yet interesting none the less. Take Sarah Parishe's character- has affair with married man, as his GP, perscribes morphene when he discovers he is terminally ill, bumps him off out of mercy and then proceeds to sleep with his son! Yep, totally silly, but entertaining none the less and it's to Sarah Parishes credit that she makes this selfish and silly GP likeable. It's shallow at times, moving at others and certainly never dull. I hope there is to be a second series- enjoy! More Reviews
