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. Read full review

Linda Stasi

The writing is so bad that, I promise, you will sit there mouth agape. Read full review

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. Read full review

Detroit Free Press

Mike Duffy

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

Variety

Brian Lowry

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

New York Daily News

David Hinckley

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

Diane Werts

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

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 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 I don't understand all the bad reviews.

The acting is so so (better with some of the main characters), and the writing is hysterical. BUT I am hooked. I don't know why, but I tivo it. It's too funny because I can't believe I'm addicted to this show. It's supposed to be CHEESY, it's a telenovela.

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."… Expand
