First a brief synopsis..The story from this show, starts with the suicide of Mary Alice a woman who lives in a nice and quiet place called Wisteria Lane. This woman was married and had a teenage boy, from this point on starts the mistery of why she killed herself. Her four best friends; Susan (Teri Hatcher), Lynette (Felicity Huffman), Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) and Bree (Marcia Cross) start to put things together about her suicide while a new resident moved into the neighborhood named Mike Delfino with a mysterious past. Is he a bad guy or a good guy? Or a bad guy doing a good thing? First what I really want to say for a non-spoiler review is that this series came out in 2004 and I decided to binge it in 2018 of June. It held up incredibly via Hulu. I was hooked after just 1 episode!! That's all it took. Also I should mention I'm a straight guy. This series is NOT JUST FOR WOMEN! There is much to love about this series that men will cherish. The comedy is incredible but the relatable situations are outstanding as well. The mysteries and intrigue are brilliant too. What's impressive about this series is that despite a big mystery hanging above, so much entertainment goes on that you forget about it and are captivated by each individual episode. I cant believe it took me so long to watch this show but I honestly dont think I would have appreciated it as much in 2004 as a kid. I think all I would have thought about was the gardner and gabrielle having an affair but now I found I cared more about how she mainted to cover the secret as it happened and I started watching.Dont think for a second because this series is from 2004 it may not be good because the best TV has come from the 90s and 2000s! That was the age in which TV was shaped to inspire the shows on TV today. I've learned many things this week and one thing is that all incredible art pieces, they dont age they hold up with time. For e.g. I just started ER and I'm addicted and it holds up too and that was 1994! When desperate housewives came out, TV was different then. It wasnt as censored as it is today and you can feel the difference or I can at least. (Watch a drama from then90s on network TV and then imagine it on that same channel take NYPD pilot for example) what I'm saying is it doesnt matter if this is old incredible!!!!This series is a must-see that provides pure entertainment and laughs for you each episode and the first handful of seasons!!!I cant believe I almost never watched this gem of a series...what a exhilarating experience!!! Bravo 9/10

For me, who is born and raised in China, this is actually a window to peep at middle-class lives in America. As to the lifestyle of middle-class, there is a world of difference between Chinese and American. But as to the domestic issues, Chinese housewives and American housewives confront the similar problems, which are always related with husband, children, mother-in-law and extramarital affairs. From time to time, the same desperation creeps over each of these women.

To keep it simple, this show is one of my top favorites, along with the show Devious Maids which was also created by the same man, Marc Cherry.It's entertaining, it's dramatic, it's gossip-y, it's juicy, it's ridiculous and most of all, it's funny and at times, witty.The characters and the acting is great. You really learn to connect and have an attachment/liking to each character and there's also aspects that make you roll your eyes, but all in all it's entertaining to watch and that's what we watch shows for - entertainment!I've watched the entire series and I've gone back to re-watch it again and it's still entertaining. The nice thing about this show is that there is CONTENT. I can't stand shows that have filler episodes where nothing happens, nothing in the story changes and you aren't left wondering what will happen next. Not with this show, there's also little shocks and twists along the way.

I just finished the last episode of DHW and I just have to say that I am sad. I watched all 8 seasons on Netflix and I got so caught up in the drama that I would stay up until 12 sometimes 2 am watching it. I loved these women like I knew them. I felt every emotion with them, sad, happy, excited, heart broken, etc. If this series was brought back to television I would for SURE watch it. I am so happy that Tom and Lynette got back together, that broke my heart to see them break up. My favorite of all is definitely Susan! She is hilarious, cute, clumsy (like me), beautiful, smart and oh so witty! Thank you so much for such a wonderful show.
