Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman
"Desire" is (I can't believe I'm saying this) good. Compelling. Stupid. Well-acted. Not terribly written. Funny on purpose. Better than most series on TV. |

New York Post Linda Stasi
The writing is so bad that, I promise, you will sit there mouth agape. |

Philadelphia Inquirer Jonathan Storm
The better of the first pair [of soaps]. |

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
"Desire" features better production values than a daytime soap, but just as wooden acting by its no-name cast and terrible dialogue. |

Detroit Free Press Mike Duffy
In terms of intelligence, wit and quality, "Desire" is a serious cut below most prime time drama series. |

USA Today Robert Bianco
There are desires that are best left unfulfilled. |

Variety Brian Lowry
Somewhat more ambitious [than "Fashion House"] but equally hackneyed. |

New York Daily News David Hinckley
"Desire" is so cheesy that the restaurant ought to specialize in fondue. |

Newsday Diane Werts
Viewers are expected to swallow - worse, to savor - simplistic recycling of melodrama plots seen a hundred times before. |

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Melanie McFarland
"Dynasty" plays like Tennessee Williams in comparison. |

Newark Star-Ledger Alan Sepinwall
"Desire" will make you ashamed -- of society at large, if not yourself --whether you like it (chances: minimal) or not (chances: off the charts). |
