Footballers Wives






I've had some time on my hands lately and decided to catch a few shows I've been meaning to view. One of them is BBC America's Footballer's Wives. The show details the lives and loves of a fictional soccer team in England. It ran for five seasons in the UK and is now available here in the states.
Constant plot turns and over the top writing ensures that there is enough sex, treachery and leather dresses to keep even the most jaded soap opera fan riveted. The fifth season even has Dynasty alumni Joan Collins. The first three seasons are available from Netflix.
They made a US version about American football starring Lucy Lawless but the NFL pressured ABC to kill the series, thinking it would show the game in a bad light. What prudes......
