Movie Reviews of Desperate Housewives - The Complete Second Season
Movie Review: My favorite season of the show thus far.
Summary: 5 Stars
I shall begin this review by declaring my love for this show. It's my favorite show on the air right now by far, and I think it's one of the greatest television shows ever created. The acting is superb, the storylines intriguing, hilarious and often touching, and there is a strong bond bond between these (now six) very different women that I think everyone can relate to. While I have absolutely loved every season, season two has definitely remained my favorite. That's why it comes as a shock to me that so many critics and even fans bashed this season. I mean, what isn't there to love? All four principle characters' storylines are advanced. Susan's turbulent love life continues as she struggles to maintain her relationship with Mike and also finds romance with a handsome young doctor. In this season we also see Susan try to foster a relationship with her long-lost father and deal with her ex-husband. Lynette goes from being a stay-at-home mom to a working woman, and this storyline is ridiculously entertaining- from Lynette's malicious colleague Nina (I personally found this character to be an irresistable villian) to her immature and incompetent boss Ed. Also in this season, Tom joins Lynette's firm and we see the two struggle to keep their marriage in check while working together. Lynette's struggle to maintain her personal life and career is also a very realistic storyline that I think a lot of people can relate to. Gaby suffers a miscarriage, and after Carlos is released from prison the two go to desperate lengths to have a child. Along the way, Gabrielle must thwart an attempt from a meddlesome nun to ruin her marriage. Perhaps the most interesting storyline of the season belonged to Bree. After Rex's death, we see Bree try to move on by dating George, the pharmacist. After discovering George's sordid secrets, her son Andrew becomes more of a terror than ever and tries to make Bree's life even more miserable. All of this leads to Bree becoming an alcoholic, and by the end of the season, she has resorted to drastic measures to get her life back in order. New on the lane are mysterious neighbors Betty and Matthew Applewhite, who are hiding a dark secret in their basement. As the season progesses, we discover the truth behind this mystery. One of the most scathing critiques of season two regards the Applewhites' storyline. Many said it wasn't captivating and that Betty Applewhite never really integrated into the show. I disagree with both of these claims. Alfre Woodard's Betty Applewhite remains one of my favorite characters during the show's tenure. Not only was the season two mystery captivating; there is an unbelievable shock in the finale. And that's not the only shock in store for viewers; the season has many surprises that all come to fruition in the finale. This finale, which features memorable scenes of each wife's arrival to the lane is my favorite finale of the four seasons (although season four's finale was also pretty incredible, I must say). Not only does season two look back, it also gives us a twist for each major character (in my opinion, the most shocking moment of the entire series thus far occurs with Mike in the final moments of the finale) and leaves you desperate to see how each of the storylines will play out in the third season. So there you have it. Some have said this season was boring. I personally found each and every one of the above storylines captivating and entertaining. As with every season of Desperate Housewives, the acting is superb and the chemistry between the leads undeniable. This leads to another critique of season two that I believe is illegitimate. Many have said that the wives are too isolated from each other in this season. While their scenes together may not be as numerous as other seasons, these scenes are so enjoyable that it doesn't feel like a loss at all. Last but not least, the show's brilliant mix of comedy and drama remains as strong in this season as it did in its classic first season. If you are considering watching this season for the first time, please don't listen to critics. Watch the episodes and judge for yourself. I bet you won't be disappointed.
