This season is bound to leave you thinking why you should never underestimate a housewife as more shockingly delicious secrets and revelations await the circle of girlfriends.

A primetime soap with a truly contemporary take on the ‘happily ever after’, Desperate Housewives takes a darkly comedic look at suburbia, where the secret lives of housewives aren’t always what they seem.

The show is narrated from the perspective of Mary Alice Young — a perfect housewife who had everything a woman could want until she put a bullet to her temple! Now dead, and infinitely wiser, she peeps into the secret lives of all her neighbours, who are seemingly just as perfect but just as unhappy as she was.

As each of Mary Alice’s friends on Wisteria Lane wonder and probe in their own ways the real reasons for her death, the plot weaves its way around their own lives, affairs and bring out the skeletons in their closets.
