Synopsis

All is not as it seems on Wisteria Lane, the pristinely manicured suburban setting of television's hottest prime-time soap. We learn this within the first few minutes of the Desperate Housewives pilot episode, when seemingly sane and happy housewife Mary Alice Young removes a revolver from a drawer and shoots herself in the head. In the process of trying to make sense of her sudden and inexplicable suicide, Mary Alice's friends end up revealing just as many secrets about themselves and their neighbours as they do about her past. Each episode follows the ups and downs in the lives of bored trophy wife Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria), klutzy-yet-charming Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher), frustrated stay-at-home-mom Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), anal-retentive homemaker Bree Van de Kamp (Marcia Cross) and man-eater Edie (Nicollette Sheridan). Throughout the 5 series, each woman faces her fair share of drama and does her part in helping to uncover a string of mysteries that go deeper than anyone can imagine. The fifth series sees events flash forward five years, revealing the mysteries of the intervening years through clever flashbacks.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Series Ever! 17 Feb 2010
By Katrina-UK TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Out of all the TV series I have seen over the years, this is the BEST I have EVER seen! Honestly it is fantastic. I have been a huge fan of Desperate Housewives since Season 1 Episode 1 years ago, and have never missed one episode since. I am seriously considering buying this full set of all the series, because I could watch them all again and again. Desperate Housewives contains a bit of every genre - Mystery, suspense, comedy, romance, thriller, drama etc. The story is excellent (Thanks to the fantastic scriptwriters), the characters are excellent and the acting is excellent.

If you are a latecomer to Desperate Housewives, I would definitely recommend buying the complete full series (1-5) as it will fill you in on the background of all the characters (which you need to know to fully appreciate how their characters have evolved, and what they have been through to get to where they are today).

To miss out on this series would be a travesty, so get clicking 'BUY' on Amazon!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Minor Materpiece 15 Nov 2010
By Adrian Drew TOP 500 REVIEWER
What a clever, well written and sophisticated little series this is... The acting, scripts and plotting are all first rate and one is constantly amazed by just how effective some episodes are. In comparison British television really shows how third rate it can be. We used to poke fun of American TV - now we need to learn lessons in quality production from series such as this - Brothers and Sisters -etc etc.
