Mistresses has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Hulu. Across 4 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. 71 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Watch it for Alyssa Milano — stay for everyone else around them. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Disney Plus.

Mistresses is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The jokes in Mistresses land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Meet Savi, a successful career woman working toward the next phase in her life—both professional and personal—simultaneously bucking for partner at her law firm while she and her husband, Harry, try to start a family of their own. Savi's free-spirited and capricious baby sister, Josselyn, couldn't be more different—living single, serial dating and partying, and regularly leaning on her big sister along the way. Their common best friend, April, a recent widow and mother of two, is rebuilding her life after tragedy and learning to move forward, with the support and guidance of her closest girlfriends. The chemistry Alyssa Milano and Jes Macallan bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. The series ran for 4 seasons (2013–2016), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Mistresses holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Mistresses is a strong candidate. If you have already watched The Affair, Mistresses is a natural next step. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Alyssa Milano is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.

Mistresses was cancelled in 2016, created by K.J. Steinberg — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
