This is one of the best finds for those who like campy and fun shows with dark comedy. It's a little difficult to understand some of the dialogue though if you're not used to watching British TV. They use alot of slang, but there's a Slang Dictionary on the DVD. Tanya Turner is one of the best characters ever, and Zoe Lucker plays her to excessive perfection. It's like Dynasty mixed with Desperate Housewives (apparently DH was inspired by FW according to ebay) mixed with a crazy rock video. There is alot of sex, alcohol, and drug use in the show. When I tell friends about the show, I compare it to those Spanish soap operas- everyone wears too much makeup, sleeps with everyone else, gets into crazy predicaments, overacts too much, and is way too melodramatic. But if you're in for some TV cotton candy, this is definitely addictive and fun. By the way- season 2 is even better than season 1, and there are 5 seasons total, plus a spinoff called Footballers' Wives Overtime. See the British original before they make a cheesy American remake (according to Entertainment Weekly it's in the works already). The only negatives are that I wish they had special features on the DVD (it's only the slang dictionary) and there are too few episodes!Read full review
No wonder this series is such a hit. It full of high paced scandelous story lines and the one character that everyone is gonna love to hate Tanya Turner!!
Since i had start watching the show i got hook on the show and then i love it. Then when it had its series final and it was not in american stores. I had to get it off the internet and on the web site just to ordet me a season of the show. Then i decide to check on ebay and to see if they had it and they did, and i went and i bidded on it and won.
