A few weeks ago I happened to see the first episode in Channel 4’s repeat run of Desperate Housewives. Eight episodes in and I am hopelessly addicted. Every episode so far has been a delight. If you don’t count Lost (and I don’t), DH has to be the best drama to come out of America in the last few years.
Once again the US is showing the world how to make good drama. It’s depressing that Britain, with the vast resources of the BBC and ITV, can’t make anything approaching this quality.
