Reasons Why I Am Into ABC Family's Mistresses Right Now

(Aka My Quick Yet Well Thought Out List That Would Hopefully Convince You To Watch Mistresses)

1. Sheer curiosity.

2. It's a show about 4 strong women. What's not to love.

3. The suspense is killing me from all fronts. Even if the show is patterned (Is 'syndicated' a better term?) after the UK original, I read somewhere that they changed things up a little bit. I will not elaborate on this so as not to spoil the show for anyone who's not watching it (yet) but is reading this.

4. The drama is enough to hook you in and occasionally blow you away (hello, Carver sisters throwdown scene!) but never too over the top to scare you to make a run for it.

5. Who doesn't love a dad who's into sports, parties with Lamar Odom, has a Jim Carrey vibe, is as adorable as Steve Carell and way more intuitive than the average guy? No one. Everyone loves Richard.

6. The funny and sincere Joss-Harry conversations in the kitchen.

7. Joss' interesting and witty one liners. (You can say his name, Mona. He's not Voldemort.)

8. Savi's dresses! Actually it's a toss up between Savi's and Karen's (even the dressing gown-ish one looked good on Karen!). I am not fond of dresses in general but I appreciate good ones when I see them. Kudos to whoever is in charge of dressing these women! And whoever you are, please suggest good ones for Alex, too!

9. Rochelle Aytes' eyes. Endless conversations can be had with those eyes alone.

10. Karen's drama brings a Desperate Housewives-ish feel to the show.

11. Sam Gray is cray cray.

12. It's not only a show about 4 strong women. There's also a fair share of hot guys with accents. Australian, French, American. Pick your poison.

13. The music is good too.

14. I want to find out what Mr. and Mrs. Carver look like for their children to look so different from each other yet so stunning.

15. If Sex and the City and Desperate Housewives had a baby, it would be Mistresses.

16. All the shows I regularly watch are on hiatus, and Mistresses is the only thing worth wasting my precious little time on. Except for the occasional HG/Myka adventure.

17. LUCY IS SOOO ADORABLE!!!!!! Whether she's talking about how cutting class to see Selena Gomez is the best moment of her life or she's calling her mom a goody-two shoes.
