      Season 4 – Desperate Housewives

      2007 Drama Mystery & Thriller List
      Reviews 90% 50+ Ratings Audience Score Behind the facade of a postcard-perfect subdivision live four women whose lives are anything but idyllic. Klutzy Susan is divorced and the mother of teenage Julie. Lynette is married to Tom and the frazzled mother of four rambunctious children. Bree is the neighborhood's Martha Stewart, whose perfection masks major dysfunction. Ex-model Gabrielle, married to handsome and successful Carlos, wants to have her cake and eat it too. Looking down on it all is Mary Alice, who took her own life but comments on the lives of her former neighbors. Read More Read Less Watch on Fandango at Home Premiered Jun 05 Buy Now

      Audience Member While the last two seasons of Desperate Housewives definitely suffered to live up to season one's high standards (especially season two), season four improved not only from seasons two and three, but also from the critically acclaimed first. Delivering great storylines such as Bree's fake pregnancy, Lynette's cancer, Gaby's affair and even Susan's real pregnancy, season four was already great. But then add the Kayla storyline and season four's top notch mystery, and you get season four, or in my opinion, Desperate Housewives at its finest. The only bad thing about this season is Victor Lang's death, which could've been better, but I can live with it. Despite generally not considered as the series' best season, it sure did convinced me.

      Tim Stack Entertainment Weekly [Dana Delany] actually seems perfect for this role and looks to be a choice adversary for Bree. And I'm genuinely intrigued as to what the big mystery is surrounding her family. Sep 19, 2018 Full Review Robert Bianco USA Today [Desperate Housewives is] back in fine form, thanks to an amusing premiere that launched a plethora of promising stories while introducing welcome new residents. Sep 19, 2018 Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News None of those revelations were shocking. It remains to be seen whether creator Marc Cherry has painted himself into a corner in the same way the writers of "How I Met Your Mother" did in their pilot. Jan 17, 2020 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette As the new kid of the block, Delany brings a welcome verve to "Housewives." Jan 17, 2020 Full Review Sandrine Sahakians TV Equals This season of Desperate Housewives was pretty intense, especially since it started with the after effects of the tornado. I really enjoyed it and this season was definitely better than the last. Sep 24, 2018 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures In an effort to keep itself fresh over its first four seasons, it has jumped the shark, introducing (and ultimately killing off) too many characters and suffering from lazy writing. Rated: 1.5/5 Sep 18, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
