    One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

    All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

    First a brief synopsis..The story from this show, starts with the suicide of Mary Alice a woman who lives in a nice and quiet place called Wisteria Lane. This woman was married and had a teenage boy, from this point on starts the mistery of why she killed herself. Her four best friends; Susan (Teri Hatcher), Lynette (Felicity Huffman), Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) and Bree (Marcia Cross) start to put things together about her suicide while a new resident moved into the neighborhood named Mike Delfino with a mysterious past. Is he a bad guy or a good guy? Or a bad guy doing a good thing? First what I really want to say for a non-spoiler review is that this series came out in 2004 and I decided to binge it in 2018 of June. It held up incredibly via Hulu. I was hooked after just 1 episode!! That's all it took. Also I should mention I'm a straight guy. This series is NOT JUST FOR WOMEN! There is much to love about this series that men will cherish. The comedy is incredible but the relatable situations are outstanding as well. The mysteries and intrigue are brilliant too. What's impressive about this series is that despite a big mystery hanging above, so much entertainment goes on that you forget about it and are captivated by each individual episode. I cant believe it took me so long to watch this show but I honestly dont think I would have appreciated it as much in 2004 as a kid. I think all I would have thought about was the gardner and gabrielle having an affair but now I found I cared more about how she mainted to cover the secret as it happened and I started watching.Dont think for a second because this series is from 2004 it may not be good because the best TV has come from the 90s and 2000s! That was the age in which TV was shaped to inspire the shows on TV today. I've learned many things this week and one thing is that all incredible art pieces, they dont age they hold up with time. For e.g. I just started ER and I'm addicted and it holds up too and that was 1994! When desperate housewives came out, TV was different then. It wasnt as censored as it is today and you can feel the difference or I can at least. (Watch a drama from then90s on network TV and then imagine it on that same channel take NYPD pilot for example) what I'm saying is it doesnt matter if this is old incredible!!!!This series is a must-see that provides pure entertainment and laughs for you each episode and the first handful of seasons!!!I cant believe I almost never watched this gem of a series...what a exhilarating experience!!! Bravo 9/10

    Desperate Housewives tops the list of shows that fall into my "guilty pleasure" TV show category. For most of these so-called guilty pleasure shows it takes several episodes before I'm ready to decide whether or not I want to continue watching. But Desperate Housewives has been the only show of this type that I became hooked on after just one episode. It's completely unrealistic, at times outrageous, and incredibly addicting. It combines entertaining characters and adult humor with scandal and a splash of mystery...basically everything you could ask for in a guilty pleasure show. I found the adult themes and humor throughout the show to be just enough to be entertaining but not too over the top to be offensive or cringe-worthy. In other words, I wouldn't watch this show with my niece but would still be able to watch it with my mom without awkwardness. The narration was well done and added to the uniqueness of the show. Unfortunately though, the last two seasons were a miss for me. I found many of the new characters that were introduced in the last two seasons to be unlikable and the story line became much too outrageous, as if the writers were trying too hard. On a positive note, it made it easier for me to accept that the show was ending as I may have been more disappointed if the last two seasons were as good as the previous seasons. All in all though, I highly recommend Desperate Housewives for any woman looking to add to her collection of binge-worthy guilty pleasure shows and I wish there were more out there like it.

    It is Wisteria Lane in an upper middle class suburb. Neighbors Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher), Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), Bree Van De Kamp (Marcia Cross), and Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria) are shocked when their friend Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) is killed. The seemingly idyllic suburbs hide dark secrets as the show follows these friends and their families.This Marc Cherry creation started very strong. This has a great compelling concept like many other dark suburbs shows. As long as the murder remained unsolve, this stayed intensely compelling. Once the murder is solved, the show immediately tried to inject another dark secret. After that, they just muddled along as a night time soap opera. When they threw in a tornado, they truly jumped the shark. The actresses became iconic even as their show declined. Was it possible to keep the early promise of the show? Certainly it's hard to keep the murder unsolved in a TV environment. Anyways, the show definitely declined markedly after the reveal.
