If I love Desperate Housewives and Sex in the City

I rewatched SATC a few years ago and I just started watching Desperate Housewives on Amazon Prime. It's really good! I watched it years ago but it was before the time of streaming and watching when you like so I think I watched the odd episode rather than whole series...

Anyway is there anything else you'd compare to these shows or that are as good?! I can't think of any...

There was "Girls" but I didn't watch that one and didn't fancy it.

Wasn't keen on SATC but loved DH. Very sharp.

When Felicity Huffman got caught a couple of years back cheating to get her Kids into some Ivy League uni, I think she bribed someone if memory serves, it reminded me of Lynette trying to get her naughty twins into a 'hot' school and making them dig a massive hole in the garden so they'd be too tired to run riot at interview..

Devious Maids is made by the same team as DH and is very similar in terms of tone and style.

Pretty Little Liars is like a teen version of DH. It's a bit high school drama for the first season but after that it becomes a lot more grown up.

Revenge!

I'm just on season two now so watched that recently. It is funny. The whole show is very funny and clever. I don't think much I've watched that's new compares.

I loved Pretty Little Liars

I have never heard of Devious Maids. I will look it up now

Working Moms is very good and I also enjoyed Good Girls.

EvilHerbivore · 19/09/2020 10:50

The Bold Type (think it's on amazon Prime) looks quite good - quite graphic sex conversations so like a modern SATC

mirror9 · 19/09/2020 10:51

Why women kill. It is on alibi on sky. We loved it. Very DH. So funny.

ZarasHouse · 19/09/2020 10:54

Little Fires Everywhere

MsTSwift · 19/09/2020 10:58

Dead to me we enjoyed recently has slight DH vibe

Charliecatpaws · 19/09/2020 10:58

I recently watched Why Women Kill it’s made by the makers of Desperate Housewives. Only 10 episodes but really addictive, I binge watched it in 2 days. It’s on Alibi

BunnyLovesBananas · 19/09/2020 11:11

Haven't seen Working Moms or Good Girls but I cancelled Netflix recently.

I've seen Dead to Me (really enjoyed it) and Little Fires Everywhere (not as good as the book)

I'll look up Why Women Kill and The Bold Type as I have Sky snd Prime at the moment

mammmamia · 21/09/2020 23:17

I came on here to say Why Women Kill as well

I’ve only watched a couple of episodes but it has a very desperate housewives feel

RAOK · 21/09/2020 23:48

Lipstick Jungle is written by the SATC author if I remember correctly.

RAOK · 21/09/2020 23:50

Dreamscomingtrue · 21/09/2020 23:55

Younger is written by the same people who made Sex in the City, the first series is really good. It’s on SKY.

BunnyLovesBananas · 22/09/2020 08:25

A few I havent heard of

I loved Revenge, Big Little Lies, Orange is the New Black (is this coming back?) The Affair Dirty John The Good Wife Doctor Foster* The Split

I think maybe I watched bits of Mistresses years ago but don't remember

I had the book of Lipstick Jungle but haven't seen the tv series anywhere. I'll look for it.

Younger sounds good too

Selling Sunset was okay. Similar to Real Housewives and I've watched some of those

I must check out Women Who Kill

I will be looking up all of them. Thank you.

Meanwhile I've been watching DH and it really is very good.

Big little lies is probably even better than SATC and DH! Shame it doesn't have as many episodes
