    "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.

    The better of the first pair [of soaps].

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

    In terms of intelligence, wit and quality, "Desire" is a serious cut below most prime time drama series.

    Somewhat more ambitious [than "Fashion House"] but equally hackneyed.

    "Desire" is so cheesy that the restaurant ought to specialize in fondue.

    "Dynasty" plays like Tennessee Williams in comparison.

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

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

    this is a combination of terrible acting mixed with horrible writing. The only reason to watch this show would be for unintentional comedy. Its an absolute joke… Full Review »
