For a show it is a truly amazing watch with a fine, fine story line and excellent narration. One of the best shows ever created by a long shot! F.R.I.E.N.D.S. is funny, like this show, but it does not have an juicy scandels or cliff hangers! MOVE OVER F.R.I.E.N.D.S.! WOOOHOOO!

Arguably Desperate Housewives best season aside from its debut year, a number of excellent new characters were introduced to help spice up proceedings and many would go on to be mainstays of the show. The central mystery, whilst pretty dark, was also as intriguing as anything else the show ever devised.

The first season was very clever and sensationally refreshingly addictive. The second season slipped with the third season coming back a bit. Thereafter it went straight off the rails becoming unwatchable, which I didn't after about the fourth season or so.
