Each episode is shown in an anamorphic widescreen 1.78:1. The quality on Series 1 (Discs 1-2) are a little clearer than they are on Series 2 (Discs 3-4), but quality on the whole is pretty decent. The only sound option is an English Stereo pick (for both Series), with English subtitles accompanying. Special features are mostly reserved to two featurettes: “The Making Of Mistresses” (28:41) on Disc 2, and “Sex, Lies, And Infidelity: The Woman’s Perspective” (24:09) on Disc 4. Other bonus materials are in the guise of several trailers and bumpers for other titles.
Sure, Mistresses has its own share of outrageousness and promiscuity (what sore of good, self-respecting adult drama would be without those elements?) But, no matter how absurd a story may get, you can always rely on Mistresses to tell it better. And besides, there’s not a hint of Sarah Jessica Parker to be found here. I’m satisfied.
