Product Description

It’s the final, climactic season of the iconic series that redefined life in the suburbs – ABC’s Desperate Housewives! The stakes are higher than ever as the world’s most celebrated housewives are united by their involvement in the slaying of Gaby’s loathsome stepfather.

Meanwhile, Renée tries to spark up some romance with hot new Aussie neighbor Ben, Lynette and Tom navigate the rough waters of their separation and Susan jumps headfirst into a “relationship” with a volatile art professor who is determined to draw out her wilder side. Ultimately, the suspense builds to a fever pitch when Bree is arrested and tried for murder! Mysteries will be solved, and loyalties are tested as the excitement soars to all-time heights.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kiss them goodbye 13 Jun 2012
By D Jones
Format:DVD
After eight years Desperate Housewives finally draws to a close with this final season. The magic ingredients that made it such a phenomenon in the first place are all here - mystery, secrets, love, betrayal, death and more. There is a real sense of closure this season as the show appears to come full circle with a mystery arc that, for the first time since the first season, permeates each and every housewife's life in one way or another. The development of the main story arc across the season is strong and filled with the many twists and turns we have come to expect from Desperate Housewives over the years.

The writing remains top notch with more zingers than a KFC restaurant and emotion that always hits you hard. The four leads remain at the top of their game with Hatcher, Huffman and Longoria all remaining on fine form, but perhaps special mention should be reserved for Marcia Cross whose portrayal of Bree this season is incredible. Bree takes a central role in this season's story arc and it really shows how far the character has developed since we first set eyes on her icy cold facade during the pilot episode.

Despite being a huge fan of the show I felt the time was right for Desperate Housewives to bow out whilst it still could on its own terms. Eight years just feels right, and it allowed the writers to bring the show to a fitting conclusion. The final episode is perhaps one of my favourite endings to a television show ever. It's pitch perfect, with just the right amount of humour, drama and emotion. It features perhaps one of the best scenes the show has ever produced with the unforgettable Kathryn Joosten and the final moments will leave you laughing, crying and gasping - just as it always has.

4.0 out of 5 stars At last an audio commentary 27 Sep 2012
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I won't bother reviewing the series as it might spoil viewers enjoyment of it (where have you been!) watching it for the first time. One feature about this series was that my favourite character Tom Scavo has more serious scenes. Doug Savant displays he's a great actor considering that most of his scenes involved him being a buffoon.
I am glad that there is an audio commentary (Marc Cherry on the final episode) which is something we have not had since season 5.

A few bloopers, deleted scenes (some are so short that they are hardly worth the trouble) and a documentary with overall look of the individual main characters with actors giving their thoughts make up the other extras.

5.0 out of 5 stars The End of a "Desperate" Era 24 May 2013
By M Roy
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
All 23 episodes of the final season of DH present in this DVD set spread across 6 discs. Each episode filled with the entertainment that made this show a must for fans of drama with a bit of comedy and glitzy glamour thrown in with some realistic as well as unrealistic storylines, such as Gaby deciding to be the breadwinner of the family when a tragic event continued from season 7 as a main focus of this seaon, causes Carlos to leave his high paying job to train to be a counsellor. She goes from shopper to Personal Shopper to Head of VIP Sales in the space of what seems like just weeks. Great acting as always from the 4 leading ladies and some sad losses in this season along with guest appearances from old faces and new (Scott Bakula to name one). Definitely worth a purchase if you were a fan of the show.

5.0 out of 5 stars the ladies never disappoint 10 May 2013
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I used to look down my nose at DH. I'm not a 'soap' fan and thought this would be some dreadful Dallas-esque tripe, but after my husband came home from working abroad with very limited offerings on TV in English very enthusiastic about it, we decided to go back to the beginning and watch from the start. I'm so glad we did. yes, of course there times in the plot lines when you can't help but think "Really? Really???? we're supposed to believe that??" but to be honest its all part of the fun. No-one's pretending its anything other than light-hearted entertainment. the stories are good, the characters twisted and devious enough to be entertaining and the ladies whom it all revolves around are marvellous. Personally my favourite is Felicity Huffman who plays Lynette Scavo, for me the most interesting and human character of them all
