12/29/2023 0 Comments Desperate housewives seasons![]() I guess the most refreshing thing about them this year was that they actually seperated but listening to the endless arguments between them over past hook-ups, work issues and the like, it became more and more difficult to actually care about them. Less interesting were Lynette and Tom and their many arguments of this year. With no business to run, a brief look into Andrew’s alcoholism and Carlos finding out how his mother really died, the variations of Orson (who finally left the series), Keith (because Bree was due a younger man) and Chuck (the best match for her, maybe?) certainly proved that Bree still had it in her, didn’t it? The kidney plot however (coupled with brief reappearances from Julie and Sophie) actually worked a lot better, especially given that it resulted in a great exit for Beth and an interesting Susan/Paul friendship.īree on the other hand seemed to have mostly storylines involving her love life. I mean the apartment they’re forced to stay in for most of this year is a lot better than what other people with their dire finances can afford and the erotic housecleaning plot was just silly, even if it did cost Susan her teaching job. Susan and Mike’s financial problems sounded good on paper but seemed to lack certain realism. All in all, when I look at the Paul/Felicia plot, I have to admit that it was a lot better than the antics of the Applewhites or Dave in previous seasons but only just.Īs for the housewives themselves, it’s been an interesting enough time for them. Thankfully this show actually killed her off this time while sending Paul back to jail for a crime he actually did commit. ![]() I enjoyed Felicia in the first two seasons and her brand of nuttiness but here I found her more of a nuisance and a far worse human being than Martha had been in the first year. Now for the disappointing part of it all. I also have to admit that his friendship with Susan also became a highlight in the last few episodes along with Felicia’s many attempts to kill him. Instead of Paul being the baddie, he became someone we could actually sympathise with for the first time. It also provided an interesting change of gears as well for the season. ![]() Now that was something I genuinely did not expect. Okay, so Zach being the shooter was a bit of a copout (Zach’s return in general just proves that both him and John should never be brought back again) but I did love the reveal of Beth being Felicia’s daughter and that when she was rejected by both her mother and husband, she decided to save Susan’s life by ending her own in the show’s 150th episode. It’s only when he gets shot and Beth kills herself that things actually step up a gear. Of course that would’ve been seen as too easy a solution, so Paul decided the best thing to do was to get a frumpy wife in the shape of Beth (who actually gets interesting as a character during the second half of the season) and return to Wisteria Lane, just to rub it into the neighbours that turned their backs on him all those years ago.Īs plots go, it’s surprisingly direct even if there are predictable turns with Paul blackmailing Susan during her lowest ebb and causing neighbourhood chaos with the organisation of a halfway house during the first half of the season. Now, Paul could’ve used the money he was given as compensation to go anywhere and start all over again. Paul Young finally got the last laugh when Felicia’s attempts to frame him blew up in her face and she wound up in jail as penance. Season Seven took something of an odd format for the mystery route that we’ve been used to for the last six years. ![]() I use the phrase ‘sort of’ because while the series isn’t the most talked about thing anymore, it can still produce moments here and there that are worthy of discussion and after this series alone, only one more season is left for the least safest piece of suburbia in American TV. Wild West Edition: Oh, sometimes I watch this show and I wonder about where it sort of went wrong. US Airdate: September 26th 2010 – May 15th 2011Īs the show enters its seventh year, some old faces return to wreck havoc on Wisteria Lane while a new face finds herself becoming a part of the gang.
