Why Do We Support The Sidechick And Hate The Wife?

Jun 7, 2013 By Jacque Reid, Black America Web Share 10Share on email

Jacque Reid goes “Inside Her Story” with author and journalist Sophia Nelson about the ABC shows “Scandal” and “Mistresses” and how they affect the way we look at mistresses.

This is the second attempt by a network to import the British series to the U.S. In 2008, Lifetime announced it was developing the series, but it never made it to air.

Based on the hit UK television series of the same name, Mistresses is a provocative and thrilling drama about the scandalous lives of a sexy and sassy group of four girlfriends, each on her own path to self-discovery.

This version of the show has the following setup.

Savannah (“Savi”) is a successful career woman working toward the next phase in her life — both professionally and personally — bucking for partner at the law firm where she works while also trying to start a family with her husband, Harry. They’ve been trying to get pregnant for some time, but when their fertility issues begin to take center stage, Savi finds herself attracted to her flirtatious colleague, Dominic.
