At the beginning I really loved the show and identified myself as a 'Desperate Housewifes' fan. I liked the humor a lot, I laughed up sometimes so hard, it was really unexpected and well done. I loved the beautiful main actors, the superb Maserati and Porsche sports cars. And I loved the tension from one episode to the other, I just couldn't stop myself not watching it again.
But then, after finishing with the 23 episodes of Series 1, although I'm interested to find out what happens next, I'm a bit tired of the constant lack of morals. There's no one person I can like in the show, because until now, everyone turned out to be a liar, a killer, a thief in the end, who has no hearts, and I prefer to identify myself with heroes of positive values.
When I watch a movie, it's a one piece thing and I can resolve myself even if it's about things I don't agree on. I watch it and digest it as I want. I know who's bad and who's right, or even when the situation is not so clear, I can get trough it. However, here I got tired watching in every episode somebody killing his neighbor, lying in the face of his/her husband or taking deep revenge on a beloved one.
The narrative voice in the beginning and the end of each episode is integrate part of the plot and adds a lot to the enjoyment. The funniest character to me was Edie with her constant winning over men she doesn't care about and failure over men she wants. Although an antipathetic character, Bree is super well played, the no-emotions-out style is 100% authentic.
So, although I liked the jokes, I find acting is great overall, I have had this punch in my stomach after every episode, which I don't like to repeat. The main catch of the series is 'what happens next'. However, I just found on the net many sources and articles detailing the happenings of each episode. I just read in for curiosity, and found out I'm not that interested at all to follow what's happening. It's pretty much the same - someone kills or lies or betrays again so the plot is twisted again. But this is not that interesting to me anymore.
