Occupying a middle ground between the OTT camp of Footballers’ Wives and the more intense Friday Night Lights, it ends up not soapy nor gritty enough. Focusing on the WAGs of the players in fictional team the Southern Jets, it could be a giddy circus of catfights, cocktails and C-list fame, but doesn’t push things hard enough.
