Test T @TestTest1 03/06/2025 I watched this on DVD recently, having not seen the other seasons. After a cautious start, the more I watch it, the more I enjoyed it. I found the characters interesting, and the story lines very entertaining. I don't like the twee background music at all, but as the episodes racked up I learned to ignore it! The narration scenes, which enclose each episode are excellent, and I found the judgemental but impartial summary very satisfying. Previously, I really enjoyed watching Cougar Town, so at first I thought this was a little too serious, but now I've watched more of it I realise that the drama is foremost here, and the comedy has to be more restrained to make it work. The most noticable thing about Desperate Housewives Season 5 is the unrelentingly high quality. The story, characters, cast, dialog, acting, locations... are all first rate. It's a formula which I found very hard to resist watching several episodes each evening until the season finished. I can't wait to start watching season 6 soon. I can highly reccomend Desperate Housewives Season 5 to anyone looking for a high quality absorbing show with a hint of comedy.

La mort d'Eddie en revanche provoque un grand choc et va laisser réellement un vide dans la série. See more 05/05/2019 When you produce two great seasons and two good seasons, it is not always a guarantee the fifth one will be as good as the last four. That's what happened in season five of Desperate Housewives. It starts out five years into the future from when we left off at season four's finale. Viewers weren't welcomed back by a season that takes breaths away or even captivates you. No, season five's start is about as boring as the series gets, and not only for an episode or two. Season five's slumpy beginning only ends at the season's disaster episode, this time being the eight episode. With the exception of the flashback episode "Mirror, Mirror", season five definitely serves dull and unneccessary episodes in its first third. Things definitely pick up starting with the disaster episode, but the damage has been done. After finally delivering a great episode, season five yet again falls victim to slow pacing. Like at the start, a few episodes start somwhat boring. And even after a yet another great episode, this time centering around Edie, the following episode yet again comes off as unneccessary. Of course, from there on, things only get better and a good finale is brought. But after great finales of seasons one, two and four, the fifth is probably one of the worse. The reason for such a mediocre fifth season is probably the sheer greatness of season four and I can't help but list this slow season to the bottom of my ranking list of this series' seasons.
