Synopsis
The fifth season of the hit dramedy Desperate Housewives steps five years ahead, revealing the mysteries of the intervening years through clever flashbacks. There's plenty of juicy suburban drama here in the future: Bree (Marcia Cross) is enjoying great success as a chef and cookbook author, but managed to stab her partner, Katherine (Dana Delaney), in the back on her way to the top; the self-involved Gabrielle (Eva Longoria Parker) now has a toddler in tow; and Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan) has returned from exile toting a new spouse (who may or may not have a murderous streak). This collection includes every episode from the fifth series, as well as a plenty of bonus features.

I had some difficulties finding the fifth season for a good price, but this offer was definitely the best one I could get. I don't regret buying it, but I have to admit that I prefer the other seasons much more.
Although this is a must for every fan, be aware that this season isn't as thrilling as the ones before. Hence the reason I only find it OK. But it is also interesting to see how the characters evolved in the fifth season.
Just buy it and make yourself an opinion :)

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
My wife absolutely loves watching Desperate Housewives - I don't. For the last 5 years at Christmas, I have bought her the current series so she can be totally up to date.
So in terms of a review, I'll keep it brief. Essentially, if you are a fan of Desperate housewives, you will not be disappointed - according to my wife this series is brilliant - as she told me the same about series I to IV.
The good thing about ordering through Amazon is that you know you will be getting the proper product at a superb price and quickly delivered.
Highly recommended.

Format:DVD
Good, but not as good as series 1-3, which had lots of sub-plots and complexity to the characters.
Apart from the usual "airbrushing" of the actresses on the DVD & Box covers, (always annoying), some of the storylines did really spoil it for me.
The plot for Susan with her new "boyfriend" Jackson gets irritating, and goes on too long, as does Dave's (Edie's new husband), when it comes to putting into place his evil plan for revenge. Although, I actually felt quite sorry for him in the finale, where he ultimately made the right choice, (and, sadly, ended up as & where he did... I don't want to give too much away, so I'll say no more on this).
You also come to realise how nasty Bree can be! Poor Orson!
One thing to note, is that the sleeve for the bonus DVD (disc 7) and the box for the set itself, both say there will be two episodes with audio commentary on disc 7, and although they can be viewed on the sequential discs (1 & 4, respectively), they are NOT on the Bonus Disc - the Bonus Features end at the Deleted Scenes point; (or they do on MY set, anyway, so this may not apply to very recent issues). There are three episodes in total with audio commentary, one of which has two different commentaries.
Also, there is NO audio commentary option for the Deleted Scenes, so it's difficult to understand why they were deleted, (and therefore, detracts from the point of featuring them at all). Fans who own the other seasons on DVD will know the Deleted Scenes section always has an audio option by someone key in the show's production, (usually creator Marc Cherry), but this time, it's been avoided for some reason.
Otherwise, creative in some areas, and darkly funny in others.
