I was too young to appreciate Desperate Housewives the first time around

[JMAngel1]

All seasons are on Amazon Prime - half way through Season 1 and it all resonates with me so much more now I'm in my 40s. It's hilarious fluff - perfect Lockdown TV.

I loved it so much! I tried to watch again recently but DH wasn’t interested.

Enjoy!

We’ve been watching too, so much better this time around!

Oooh I didn’t know it was on Amazon! Perfect!

Good stuff, but it could have been far more multicultural. There can't only be poor Latino cleaners and handymen.

Just like Girls, Gossip girl, friends.... and all the rest, it focused on a rich white narrative. My experience of the US just ain't that.

I loved it first time and enjoying watching again- halfway through season 3 🤗

I've just finished watching all 8 seasons! I really enjoyed it. Might try ugly Betty next.

I’ve never watched ugly Betty, any other recommendations?

I've watched every episode several years ago (may 8 or 9 years ago) and even though I really really enjoyed it, I honestly cannot remember even a tiny detail of what happened in the episodes now. I just about remember the names of the main characters and who was with you.

@TeaAddict235 - I thought Gaby and Carlos were Mexican? What about The Applewhites - it has been a few years but I think that was their name.

@Teacaketotty I love ugly Betty!

Don't the Applewhites come in a few series / seasons later? Almost as a way of answering the critics. @PiggyPokkyFool

They do I believe @TeaAddict235 but given their storyline I cannot believe they were brought in to silence any critics - nothing too 'feel good' about it. If they wanted to include just to appease then a few candy floss characters might have better!
And G+C were definitely there right from the start and then there was Mama Solis and Gaby's Mum and the v v v dodgy step father.
There were probably others too - it's been at least a decade since I have seen it though DH and I did love it.

Anyone still watching?

We’re on series 5. We watch 3 or 4 each night as DH is hooked! Great watching it again.

I’ve been watching it again too.

Would like to see this again thanks.
I just rewatched 6ft Under, really enjoyed

You were too young?

How were you too young? It only came out 15 years ago or so didn’t it?
I could’ve written your OP but I’m 26 watching it all on prime and loving it!

I don’t think OP means she was too young to have seen it - just too young to appreciate it more, which is understandable if you find yourself in the same sort of life position as the characters second time round.

I completely understand what OP meant, being older and married and pregnant now means I view it differently to when I was a teen!

Remembering it, seems very of its time. I recall a comment that it was a drama that both women and men watched, but for different reasons (men apparently for Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria).

Oh, sorry, I missed the point! I get you now

It’s aged well hasn’t it?
