This review will essentially be the same as the Season 1 review. 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. 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! ONe of the great things about Season 2 is that it introduces one of my favorite characters, Hazel Bailey, a tough as nails agent with a sarcastic wit. Hazel gets some of the best lines in this series, especially in Season 3 and 4.Read full review
I loved season 1 and developed my fitness regiment to doing my morning 30 minutes of cardio while getting immersed into this storyline. Season 2 did not let me down and is filled with more trouble and turmoil that makes my workout fly by. Comparable to magazines that I describe as “trashy beach reading material”, this show is definitely a guilty pleasure. I’m on to season 3!
Footballers Wives is like the American "Desperate Housewives" on steroids. Every episode begins or ends with a shocker and the drama will make any soap opera seem like childs play. Sex, drugs and... football (soccer for us American's). DISCLAIMER* Season 1 is a must in order to follow the plot and Season 2 will make Season 3 a must as well.
Love Season 2! I have my husband addicted to this show. Truly wish the series kept going!Wish this was made into a Movie!
If you love season one then you'll love season 2 it keeps on with the twists and more new characters with big egos.
