This is one of those rare shows that has it all . So much so that I even invested in the dvd box set ! Like many of the other reviews state , it hooks you in from the very first episode. I never gave it a chance when it first aired back in 2004 ; I dismissed it as a ridiculous soap opera . However, one episode in and you'll KNOW that this is no ORDINARY soap opera, it's soaps on steroids ! Brilliantly written characters, brilliantly acted actors and an absolutely ICONIC cinematography, and that's the truth , people get into the show and (like myself ) become obsessed with the picturesque neighborhood(then get let down when you google it and find out it's actually a famous set - same one from "The Burbs" I believe) . And yes , the women are depicted doing deplorable things and so there's No denying that . But it's just the RIGHT AMOUNT of dirty and campy to still be classified a classic . Give it a watch ... see what all the fuss is about ...
