The phenomenon series born in 2004

2004 marks a turning point in the series since the ABC network proposes Lost and Desperate Housewives in its new season schedule. The two series, based on similar aspects, will be a hit of audience to the point of giving a new impetus to soap operas.
The common points of the two shows are simple: a choral aspect with a gallery of colorful characters and a mystery from the first episode on which we will focus for a long time.

Desperate Housewives allows us to meet again with well-known faces of the viewers with notably the stars of Lois and Clark or Melrose Place.

The series puts in scene the eventful daily life of four women: Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher), Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), Bree Van de Kamp (Marcia Cross) and Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria). They live in Wisteria Lane, an upscale suburb of Fairview (located in the fictional Eagle State), a stereotypical upper-middle-class American residential neighborhood. Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong), a friend of the heroines, commits suicide at the beginning of the first episode, and comments from beyond the grave on the myriad of humorous, dramatic and mysterious storylines in which the four women are involved. As the seasons progress, they are joined by other desperate women, including Edie Britt (Nicolette Sheridan), a manipulative man-eater, Katherine Mayfair (Dana Delany), a housewife with a troubled past, and Renee Perry (Vanessa Williams), a wealthy divorcee.
The men will also be present with Mike Delfino (James Denton), Susan's plumber, Carlos Solis (Ricardo Antonio Chavira), Gabrielle's husband or Rex Van de Kamp (Steven Culp), Bree's husband.
