Mistresses (DVD)

This intimate and witty British program explores the good, the bad and the ugly world of the "other woman." Going behind the headlines, "Mistresses" dives underneath the surface of the everyday tales of tempestuous romance and examines the real motivations behind relationships that can change people's lives, for better and for worse. Host Lisa Rogers charts the course of a typical affair, from the beginning when things are promising to the middle, when things are still clicking along to the often-sticky end, when normal, rational people can turn into emotional psychopaths. "Mistresses" gets under the skin of the characters involved to find out why women become mistresses, why men risk all, how they get away with it, and whether it's true that hell hath no fury like two women scorned. Expert testimony and imaginative dramatic reconstructions bring these multilayered tales of immoral passion to life. This DVD comes with the nine episodes of the series that give us an inside look into a world of deception, revenge, power, broken hearts and above all, sex. Episodes: What Makes A Mistress?
