Footballer's Wives

Ok, is this the place where I confess to being horribly hooked on this trashy soap from our friends at BBC?

It was on our cable i-control channel and so, having already become Coupling fans, my hubby and I thought we'd watch it. ROTFL! It's not at all like Coupling and quite a bit the trashy nightime soap (to my husband's chagrin)! But after the first episode we wanted to see more and ended up watching all 8 of the first season's episodes.

We just couldn't believe how depraved and downright warped some of the characters were and kept going back to see what they'd do next...it was like watching a train wreck...we couldn't stop! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Anyone else out there watching it? Don't spoil me, though, we've only seen the first season!

This is the first I heard of it. I may have to check it out.

I am just starting to watch some new shows on showcase. Dead like me. It is about a girl becoming the Grim reaper. Kinda of a drama/comedy. And the other is Kenny vs Spenny. Very funny show. They are brothers and have competions. One was who could stay nude for the longest. Keep in mind you never got to see any units. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

LOL, Footballer's Wives had a promo on our cable 'on demand' channel that went something like "It's as much about football as Dallas was about oil." then they mention, sex, drugs, money and flash pics of the various characters. We were intrigued, but honestly, it really is amazing how deplorable some of the people are and how we keep watching anyway! LOL

First show, they have players cheating on spouses, a spouse on drugs, another looking for a child given up when she was 13, new teamate rivalry, another tries to kill their boss (the money guy from the team) and then the boss only ends up in a coma... I won't mention what all else goes on, but OMG! LOL They take trashy to new heights!
