    I'm hooked and so is my wife ... just don't let the guys at the office find out! It's just fun, no-thinking entertainment.

    OK, I'm a little biased, ONLY in that I know what these guys had to work with in time and money, and the FACT is, these guys pulled off a near miracle! The production values on this show are TOP-DRAWER. The writing is WONDERFULLY representative of the genre, and if people can't recognize the humor that accompanies the drama, than they are missing some thooroughly entertaining stuff. America has a new guilty pleasure. Kudos to the folks at Fox.… Expand

    I don't understand all the bad reviews. Plus they all seem to be dated 9/5 which means no one has really watched the show for awhile. I have, and I think it's very good. When I found out the time frame they all had to do this, I have even more respect for the young actors. People please just give this a chance.

    I thought this show was great. It was fast with constant action. The acting was great for all the new commers especially Chris DeRose who played a perfect mafia boss. I give it 5 stars.

    These are sooooooooo much fun in English, I LOVE watching them both, Desire & Fashion House. Grab the popcorn, get a new tape & tape this for the weekends. Great TV translated from the Spanish! America has discovered novellas . . . in English! YIPPEE!

    "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.

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

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