    The actresses do a good job, too. It’s just a shame they have to do it in a largely dull, predictable show where it’s impossible for them to shine, no matter how hard they clean and scrub.

My main concern is that it lost the charm desperate housewives had. Cherry really didn't build up a climax, but the ending did it for me. the first half of the pilot was okay. the second half was extraordinary and that's the Marc Cherry I know. looking forward to it and I hope to see some plot twists and engaging storyline that will keep us tuned in!… Full Review »

    This show should have NEVER been canceled, shame on the network for doing this, it was an excellent show and now they leave us up in the airThis show should have NEVER been canceled, shame on the network for doing this, it was an excellent show and now they leave us up in the air with the cliffhanger from the last season. This show should come back so that it can end it a right way and not leave you hanging. Please bring this show back.… Full Review »
