Desperate Wives

Oddly riveting.

It's a show about 5 sub-urbian housewives. Oh make that 4, one killed herself seconds after the pilot episode begins.

There's Mary-Alice, she's the one who killed herself, and also the narrator, i guess being dead makes you privy to some pretty intimate stuff about your neighbours.

Then there's Bree, the perfect housewife, mother and neighbour to everyone but her own family. She's the one with the marriage on the rocks.

Next is Susan, divorcee, pretty, and smitten over the hunk, Mike, who just moved into the neighbourhood. But she has the neighbourhood's other divorcee, Edie, as compeition. The screen heats up when they're vying for Mike's attention. Susan is lucky that she has her daughter, Julie, to help.

Gabrielle is the one who's married to the rich guy who showers her with gifts but not much in the way of time and affection, so she looks for affection in the form of their hunky 17 yr old garderner, John.

Lastly, there's Lynette, ex-career woman, presently mom to 5 kids. Attention deficit disorder twins, another boy, a newborn and her husband.

The story revolves around the life and friendship of these women and the secret which cumulated in the suicide of their friend. Whose husband and son she left behind is behaving very oddly.
