New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyJun 2, 2014
Season 2 Review: Mistresses doesn’t shoot for profound. It aims to be the “beach read” of television, and it does its job. Read full review

Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardJun 3, 2013
Season 1 Review: The acting ranges from adequate to awful. Milano and George have zero chemistry, and George’s sexy stud act, which has bankrolled his career, reaches its expiration point here.... It’s not nearly enough sizzle for summer. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyJun 3, 2013
Season 1 Review: The problem with Mistresses may lie with the expectations it has set. If the sex isn't going to be fun, what is it going to be? It would be good if we found that out soon. Read full review

Season 1 Review: While the purpose of all of this is to urge you to skip this version and try to get your hands on the saucy British original, it's only fair to report that one of the four--Jes Macallan as Milano's unrepentantly slutty sis, a real-estate broker having it off with her boss--captures the Mistresses spirit of naughty fun (never without consequences).

Season 1 Review: Tawdry but lacking a spirit of fun, Mistresses strives to be a guilty pleasure, but it's more likely to induce guilt than pleasure. Read full review
