«Breaking News» Channel Ten's new series Playing For Keeps gets mixed reviews

Channel Ten's much anticipated new Aussie drama Playing For Keeps kicked off on Wednesday night and scored a mixed reaction from viewers.

The series, which stars Madeleine West and Olympia Valance, follows the scandalous lives of a group of glamorous AFL WAGS in modern day Melbourne. 

Madeleine, 38, who plays Kath Rickards, and Olympia, 25, who plays fellow WAG Tahlia Woods, are not averse to stripping down to racy lingerie in the salacious series.

'Playing For Keeps makes Home And Away look like Shakespeare': Channel Ten's new series drew mixed reactions from viewers on Wednesday, as some panned it as lacklustre while others claimed to be 'already hooked' on the show. Pictured: Madeleine West at Kath Rickards

Twitter reaction to the premiere episode was divided, with one viewer tweeting: 'Playing For Keeps makes Home And Away look like Shakespeare.' 

Another sunk the boot in more forcefully, writing: 'Possibly the worst show I've seen all year, horrific acting, terrible storyline and abysmally cringey in general.'

Other viewers compared the series unfavourably to UK show Footballers Wives, while one person even complained: 'Can't believe Wrong Girl got axed for this.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
