Wisteria Lane is a pretty, affluent cul-de-sac nestled away in a corner of American suburbia, quietly innocuous you would think, but behind these closed doors and twitching curtains lies a neighbourhood seething with insecurities, adultery, lust, loathing, bigotry and even murder... welcome to the world of the 'Desperate Housewives'. Sharply scripted, witty, well cast and deliciously implausible this hugely successful series is insidiously addictive... you have been warned.
