    I can feel nothing but utter shame and embarassment for the people admitting to enjoying this horrifyingly stupid new series. The positive reviews below are a testament to the mental capacity of the troglodytes who would laugh at such pap..."Since there are so many commercials, why not cut out the flashbacks?" Can someone explain the logic of this one to me? Or how about the guy who I can feel nothing but utter shame and embarassment for the people admitting to enjoying this horrifyingly stupid new series. The positive reviews below are a testament to the mental capacity of the troglodytes who would laugh at such pap..."Since there are so many commercials, why not cut out the flashbacks?" Can someone explain the logic of this one to me? Or how about the guy who called it "fun no-thinking entertainment?" I would imagine that this gentleman is a big fan of "no-thinking."… Expand

    this is a combination of terrible acting mixed with horrible writing. The only reason to watch this show would be for unintentional comedy. Its an absolute joke

    "Desire" is (I can't believe I'm saying this) good. Compelling. Stupid. Well-acted. Not terribly written. Funny on purpose. Better than most series on TV.

    "Desire" will make you ashamed -- of society at large, if not yourself --whether you like it (chances: minimal) or not (chances: off the charts).

    "Desire" features better production values than a daytime soap, but just as wooden acting by its no-name cast and terrible dialogue.
