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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Brilliant, 26 Aug 2009
By P. Smith (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For me it was the most talked about mystery so far! Everyone was hooked in!
Delightfully dark (perhaps darker than any other season) and fantastically funny; one-liners are so well done in this show!
After a slight dip in ratings, the writers have really upped their game for season 5, and season 6 looks to be even better, so before that is aired buy this set NOW to re-live some classic DH moments!
S5 also contained the show's 100th episode; a true landmark, and a highly touching moment. Just one of the many reasons to purchase :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Hmmmm...., 16 Oct 2009
By Jamie Evans - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Desperate Housewives has been my favourite show since its beginning in 2004. It's had gripping storylines, fantastic acting and a cast of amazing characters.
Life on Wisteria Lane has truly been an interesting and unexpected one...

... Until now. I feel that Season 5 was missing something. I feel that Dave's mystery was too... Boring... Too safe... It was predictable. As soon as I heard that a woman and child had died in a car crash with Susan / Mike, and that Dave had a wife and kid, I instantly said to myself "No!... It can't be! They wouldn't!"
And then I thought that being Desperate Housewives they wouldn't do something so predictable... Yet they did...
I was truly disappointed by this season, and hopefully Season 6 looks to be a lot more interesting. Hopefully, Season 6 will be a return to the classic episodes we saw in Season 2 (the best season, in my opinion!).
I feel obligated to buy this Season just because I have Seasons 1-4 currently.
Maybe they'll have some decent features as well!

3.0 out of 5 stars Desperate Housewives - Season 5, 1 Oct 2009
By Bazzer "Adam" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
  
Being a huge fan of the Desperate Housewives series, this season was dissapointing. As previous reviewers have said, the time jump of 5 years really did nothing to the plot. The writing is still good, but it's certainly not at it's best, many of the best lines going to Gabby (Eva Longoria Parker), who really does provide most of the humour this season. The 100th episode...actually not that great. Not as heartfelt and emotional as what it could have been and overall left you thinking 'was that it?' Which unfortunately, is a question that most of us seem to have been asking ourselves at the end of this season.
We also loose a much beloved member of the cast this series who will be deeply missed by many fans (personally, i don't think losing her was a good move at all on the writers behalf) and with ratings sinking in the U.S, the future of D.H doesn't look bright. It's not terrible, and seeing as I have Seasons 1-4 I almost feel I have to buy this boxset, so will look at it as hopefully just a weak season, a minor bump in the series which will hopefully improve in it's next season. But with (uncomfirmed) plans for a musical episode in season 6, this may well be the end to what was once a very, very good series.
