I'm lovin' it !



Every Monday night 8:30 on TV2, there is an absolutely hilarious TV drama called Desperate Housewives. The first episode was on air on 3rd of October in 2004 in America and it reached the top TV drama show during the first season. This show has been broadcasting in many other countries also New Zealand too.

The story starts from Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong)’s death. Her 4 friends gathered for Mary’s funeral, and found a note, which had been sent to Mary. This note takes them to reveal the secret of Mary and to think about their own privacy lives of Wisteria Lane.

The techno culture has been developed so we can find lot of information from the website as well. If I miss the episode of Desperate Housewives, I can find the story of episode from the
TV2 website and further information so far (gallery, download screen saver, cast, etc). Also there are many other websites made by individual users.

I think this show is a bit similar to Sex and the City which was really famous HBO’s TV show last decade, but compare to Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives has 4 married women, and the setting is not the city, it’s suburb. Everyone has his or her secrets that do not want to show anybody, this show describes this secret as dirty laundry. As people’s delicate shades of psychology, audiences want to find out characters’ behind stories. I’m looking forward to seeing next episode ASAP!!

I don't think desperate housewives is very similar to sex and the city, I do think it has filled a gap left by sex and the city but desperate housewives has more drama and also the mystery element whereas sex and the city played a big focus on well ... sex. Also with sex and the city been HBO and cable it was much more 'raunchy' than Desperate Housewives will ever be since it's on ABC.
Anyway I agree it's a fantastic show and tv2 have done a good job on the website. Unfortunatly due to the long wait for the show I'd already seen episodes before they aired here and I'm planning on buying the dvds in September which will be before the season finishes here.
