Primary
Mistresses receives a neutral rating as its central focus is on the personal dramas and complex relationships of four women, exploring themes of infidelity, friendship, and individual choices without explicitly promoting or critiquing any specific political ideology or societal structure.
The series features a diverse main cast, with lead roles explicitly cast with minority actresses, adapting characters that were portrayed by white actresses in the original source material. The narrative primarily focuses on the personal relationships and challenges of the four women, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its core message.
Secondary
The show positively portrays a main character's exploration of her bisexuality. Her same-sex relationships are depicted with dignity, complexity, and agency, receiving significant narrative focus. Challenges faced are external dramatic conflicts, not tied to or demeaning her queer identity, affirming the worth of LGBTQ+ lives and love within the narrative.
The 2013 US adaptation of "Mistresses" features several main characters whose races differ from their established counterparts in the original British series. For instance, characters originally portrayed as white are recast as Black and Asian, and a character originally portrayed as South Asian is recast as white.
