Chicago Sun-TimesDoug 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.

The writing is so bad that, I promise, you will sit there mouth agape.
Read Full Review >Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
"Desire" features better production values than a daytime soap, but just as wooden acting by its no-name cast and terrible dialogue.
Read Full Review >Detroit Free PressMike Duffy
In terms of intelligence, wit and quality, "Desire" is a serious cut below most prime time drama series.
Read Full Review >VarietyBrian Lowry
Somewhat more ambitious [than "Fashion House"] but equally hackneyed.
Read Full Review >New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
"Desire" is so cheesy that the restaurant ought to specialize in fondue.
Read Full Review >NewsdayDiane Werts
Viewers are expected to swallow - worse, to savor - simplistic recycling of melodrama plots seen a hundred times before.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-IntelligencerMelanie McFarland
"Dynasty" plays like Tennessee Williams in comparison.
Read Full Review >Newark Star-LedgerAlan 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).

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

I can feel nothing but utter shame and embarassment for the people admitting to enjoying this horrifyingly stupid new series. The positive reviews below are a testament to the mental capacity of the troglodytes who would laugh at such pap..."Since there are so many commercials, why not cut out the flashbacks?" Can someone explain the logic of this one to me? Or how about the guy who called it "fun no-thinking entertainment?" I would imagine that this gentleman is a big fan of "no-thinking."

The WB turned into THIS? This and FH are both terrible shows, and anyone with an ounce of sense can see that, unless of course they are up the mainstream without a paddle...
cherryl n gave it an8:
It's is great show - love it. The only thing wrong is too many flashbacks and constant commercials. Since there are so many commercials cut the flashbacks to a minimum. It has a lot of bloopers but it is light entertainment and an interesting bunch of characters to watch. A plot that keeps unfolding makes me stay glued almost every night. Keep up the good work!
