Desperate Housewives

CriticsCritics: 72
AudienceAudience: 7.9

After a woman dies in a seemingly perfect suburban neighborhood, she observes from beyond the grave as her family, friends, and neighbors navigate secrets, relationships, domestic pressures, and unexpected complications. Her four closest friends try to make sense of what happened while managing the gap between polished appearances and messy private lives.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want funny, dramatic suburban stories with romance, secrets, and larger-than-life characters; Not for you if you dislike melodrama, stereotypes, or storylines that become predictable.
