If you loved Desperate Housewives then you will definitely love Devious maids. Devious maids is sharper and spicier. It is a perfect guilty pleasure..... in spite of having a murder mystery as its backdrop the series is filled with comic moments and oodles of hotness (although the Latinos are very hot , some of the guys are very drool-worthy). Every season is followed by one murder mystery in which the maids get untangled somehow and end up solving the mystery by themselves.My personal favorite are the Powells. Its hilarious to watch their banter. The writing is very crisp and every character is given at least one funny line and you will never have one boring moment. If you wanna watch something light and funny then go and watch Devious maids!
... View MoreAfter a very long time, a series like devious Maids was made. It has a little of everything, reminding us why we we need a little of everything in life. I absolutely love this series, there is so much to explore about each and every character, and being such a matriarchal cast, I love it. Zoila, Rosie, Carmen, Marisol defines a wonderful afternoon in front of the television and the writers of Devious Maids needs a good applause for bringing the characters to depth. I hope the makers, producers, the channel gives this series a shot and makes more. I can't wait for season 5.

I just could not stand the cheap melodramatic music scores and/or the hokey and predictable "whodunit?" episodes week after week.My how 40 years have made a difference and now Devious Maids comes along and this series takes soap operas to a new and hilarious camp level. In this particular episode (Season 4, Episode 2 Another One Bites the Dust) the four main female (Maids) characters (Roselyn Sanchez, Ana Ortiz, Dania Ramirez and Judy Reyes) are all dealing with their own issues whether the issue is dealing with one of their lovers being accused of murdering his ex-wife, or another of the maids having her daughter (who doesn't know the maid is her mother) tries to seduce their boss, to another maid who is falling in love with the next door neighbour (who lives with his mother still) under the pretense that she actually owns the house she his house sitting for, and lastly but not forgotten the remaining maid who has written a best selling book and making it into her dream movie of her life story until the lead actress is murdered by one of the other maids lovers.In Season 4, episode 2 (Another One Wipes The Dust) there is one scene that is just hilarious when the rich and famous couple Evelyn Powell (Rebecca Wisocky) and Adrian Powell (Tom Irwin) who employ some of these devious maids to either hide their darkest secrets, or to spy on their spouse and catch them in a compromising position come to a head when each knows of the others dark secrets and Evelyn responds to her husband Adrian's request to stay together by stating "well Adrian I guess you will just have to blow yourself". What? Did Evelyn Powell just say what I think she said? Of course she did, because the year is 2016 and the TV censors have lightened up in a big way.I haven't even mentioned soap opera Queen Susan Lucci who plays a very rich bitch and divorced wife three times over Genevieve Delacourt who also has the Devious maids working for her. At 69 years of age she looks fantastic and she is absolutely perfectly type cast as a wealthy single lady who sleeps with her full makeup on and her diamond earrings. If you are looking for a ridiculously campy soap opera that is really light and funny entertainment than don't miss this one episode it is one of the best comedy/camp soap operas I have ever seen. I give it an 8 out of 10 rating. What an absolute joy to watch and what a hoot!
... View MoreI recently started to watch Devious Maids and I have to say that it is actually a really great and entertaining show to watch. This show really does remind me of Desperate Housewives and is created by the same person and Eva Longoria is one of the producers of the show. I would probably say that this show is going to be entertaining to both girls and guys and if you like dramatic/comedy/mystery shows then you should really watch this one. Basically this show is about the lives of these maids that are working for rich family's. I have to say that the series gets a lot better as the episodes go on and I can't wait for season four to start. I would for sure recommend this show!
