Desperate housewives, like almost every Tv show, has had its ups and downs over the past seven years. Whilst I myself have always enjoyed it immensely, the last series (six) did stretch credulity and believability to breaking point. However it's been great to see a more restrained approach this year, i.e things don't just happen because the writers needed to kill somebody off, or needed a sudden plot change. From episode one of series seven the seeds are planted for everything that happens throughout the rest of the season. The five leading ladies dont just happen to find themselves in these bizarre situations; the situations that they're in are almost always a consequence of something that has happened before. Also, the main storylines of series six did find themselves sagging a bit in the middle, with not much happening in the middle of the series. However, every episode of seven yields a twist or a revelation that continually drives the plot forward.
The most notable example of this, is the return of Paul young, which is a treat for those who have watched the show since series one, and his nemeisis, Felicia Tillman. Paul's story interweaves itself with that of one of the housewives in particualar. All in all, series seven delivers fun, dramatic and believable storylines, reveals more about the housewives themselves, introduces some great new characters, as well as several old favourites. An excellent series, the finale of which is perhaps the best episode in the sries history, whcih paves the way nicely for the eighth and final series.

I've been a fan of Desperate Housewives since season 1, and to be fair this season has not been as good as the others. Although the quality of the episodes appears to be improving towards the end, the high quality of the episodes is not as consistent as it once was. However, the product is not bad, it's just a little less than I expected, giving that Desperate Housewives used to have such strong storylines. However, I am definetely looking forward to seeing how this season ends and to what the next season may bring.

I have watched all seasons of Desperate Housewives and enjoyed them all so far. Yes they are unrealistic much of the time, but we wouldn't want it any other way.
It starts out with Gaby and Carlos learning some unsettling facts about their daughter, Juanita which consequently leads Gaby re-visiting her hometown to put some ghosts to rest; Bree starts a relationship with a much younger man; Lynette encourages Tom to go after a big-shot job and learns to regret it; Susan finds herself in need of an organ transplant and finds her donor in a very unlikely person and there is the introduction of Vanessa Williams who plays Renee, an old friend of the Scarvos who moves onto the Lane. Of course there are lots of other bits and bobs going on too in typical Housewives fashion mainly with Paul Young who moves back into Susan and Mike's house providing the 'dark' story that runs throughout the season.
There are some laughs along the way and I really don't think our favourite housewives have lost any of their appeal. There are some black moments as usual and some laugh-out-loud moments, all in all a good mixture of entertainment.
Having said all that, I have to admit, I don't find myself as enthralled as I used to be and I am not surprised that Season 8 will be the last as I don't see where else the show can go. The stories are getting a bit thin on the ground and don't really require much concentration. For example I can watch it with my 18 month-old son running around shouting and not feel as though I'm missing anything. I would however recommend - especially if you're already a fan.

Great Price on a Great Series!
One of the most acclaimed series of the last few years.
It's great to see that it can be added to a collector's edition for such a small price.
