If you disliked the women of Wisteria Lane it’s doubtful you’ll find much to appreciate here. But if the first season of the show didn’t connect with you back in 2019, there’s no reason not to jump in with Season 2 and give it a second chance.

The ensuing lurid shenanigans are cartoonish to a campy extreme, and it's hard to care who'll end up killing whom in their venal, petty squabbles. Only Alma's plus-size daughter Dee, who falls for battle-scarred PI snooping into everyone's very dirty laundry, is worth rooting for. [7 - 20 Jun 2021, p.7]
