Desperate Housewives plot

In the town of Fairview, there is a street called Wisteria Lane, a quiet cul-de-sac with manicured lawns and beautiful homes. It's a place where you know everything about all the neighbors and the neighbors know everything about you. It's the perfect urban fantasy. But behind every picket fence lie secrets. And, in every seemingly happy home, you'll find jealousy, lust, passion, and sometimes... murder.

Desperate Housewives season 1

I assumed this was a crazy chick series but I then had to watch a few eps with a friend of mine and I actually found it quite exciting and also funny.. Every season has a new "mystery" that arises in the neighborhood is mainly set by new residents who have some skeletons in the closet. I found the later seasons a bit less, especially because suddenly a jump of 5 years in the future was made... still I recommend this series, also to the guys.. Good storylines, funny humor, some drama here and there and... watching Eva Longoria isn't boring either

Desperate Housewives season 1

Somewhere between guilty pleasure and genuinely good series. What works so well about this first season is its sarcastic nod to exaggerated soap elements, while taking itself just seriously enough to keep it convincing. This would also be the first and only season where the mystery was worth unraveling. The very last episode brings all the plot twists and revelations together to a satisfying conclusion. In later seasons, the makers were clearly more looking for how to keep the format interesting for the regular viewers.

Desperate Housewives season 2

I once wrote somewhere that if aliens landed on Wisteria Lane, I would have believed it before these far-fetched plot lines. Only occasionally is the brilliant humor from the previous series taken. It remained interesting enough - partly due to an explosive cliffhanger - to give the sharper third season a chance.
