My Thoughts

Playing for Keeps centers around a group of football players and their wives. It's all red carpets until one of the players is murdered and everyone is a suspect. There first season has eight exciting episodes.

 1- Paige moves to Melbourne to live with football player Dan. She  meets the wives of the other players at a barbecue. One of the players dies in a kayaking accident.

2- The team try to deal with the loss of  one of their own.

3- There's an investigation into the death and affairs are revealed,

4 - The girls talk Paige into a wild night on the town.

5- Rusty takes a revelation that sparks mixed emotions.

6 - Thalia is planning her engagement & Conner makes a confession.

7 - Thalia and Conner try marriage counseling, but she catches him in an awkward moment.

8 - The truth about Jack's death in revealed. 

This is an awesome Aussie drama filled with scandal and murder. The first season kept me on the edge of my seat, and I'm excited to see what happens next season. If you'd like to grab a copy of this DVD, you can find it online on Amazon or Acorn Media.
