Desperate Housewives - Season 8 (US Pace)

Just streamed it and OMG

The last scene was just like OMG

For those of you who havent seen it in the last scene -

Spoiler


The acting was just brilliant and it was very dark too but still funny but it's gone so dark and it's going to be so sad to say goodbye to them!

The acting from all the women was really good and they way they are dealing with everything!

It's like Pretty Little Liars (only seen a few episodes of that) meets I Know What You Did Last Summer lol

Cant wait till it's on air in the UK im gonna watch it all over again lmaoo :L

AHHHHHHHHH!

I watched this live last night via a stream and was blown away. I knew there'd be hints about returning to the season 1 roots and all that but WOW! I am not sure how to use spoiler tags, but my reaction to what happened at the end (in your spoiler tag) was a mixed blast of excitement and just OMG!

Desperate Housewives has officially started its last run and we know its going to be a good one!

Last night's premier was awful.

For an opening episode it was terrible. It went nowhere.

Saying that, the last scene was quite exciting.

Defo the right time to end it.

I said the same thing to my wife last night! It's like a middle aged Pretty Little Liars. When they were standing around the grave and the phone rang and they all looked at each other. pmsl

Must agree with the PLL comparison. The premiere was excellent and really ramped my excitement up for the final season. Loved all the characters individual storylines, as well as the stepfather one.

Definitely going to get the whole boxset when it ends, because it has always been brilliant in comparison to other shows.

LOVED Gabby turning up to Susan's with the drinks and pouring them into one glass.

Good start to the season.

Lynette annoyed the hell out of me though.

I have a love hate relationship with Lynette, one minute I think shes brilliant and the next a thundering bitch.

imo her best episode was when she suspected the chap across the street was a bit too fond of the kiddies.

But she was proven to be right weren't she.

That's the thing though - Lynette is ALWAYS right. She has to do what she has to do to manipulate Tom into doing the right thing, but I really can't believe the two of them will seperate. This just doesn't make any sense to me at all.

She was indeed and its that look on her face when she realises she was right about him all along.

That whole episode made my skin crawl.

I reckon they'll get back together again. Just seems wrong to end the show with the 2 of them apart.

Lynette reminds me of my wife, she's always right as well. I don't mean that in a nasty way either, she literally is always right, or is proven to be right in the end.

It's scary

It was a really good first episode. The note at the end was the lovely touch for viewers who've watched since the beginning.

And Gabby and Bree trying to drive that car OMG. Hilarious!

I've watched the show from the beggining and love it but some seasons have been very hit and miss. I often find myself going off it. But it looks like it's going to be a very good season this time. Last one isn't it? I do wonder if they'll all just go to jail.

Just watched the second episode and I have to say for the first time since well, maybe not even the first season, so probably for the first time ever I am on Susan's side. Although her actions are as annoying as ever, I at least like the fact one of them feels guilty.

The rest of the ladies are acting like it was no big deal, Gabby especially is and she is coming across as a cold, heartless bitch. Expecting Carlos to be all fine and dandy in the bedroom and for Susan to be over it so quickly. I get her scenes were mostly played for laughs (getting the stripper in, shouting at Susan) but it just wasn't funny.

They had a great opportunity to make the last season as dark as the first but so far, its failing and relying too heavily on what made the show less appealing in the later seasons with its "humour".

Since the first season the show has been a comedy -- a comedy with "drama bits." Every year the producers have submitted it in the Comedy category for the Emmys -- not the Drama category. So complaining about the "humour" seems rather silly, especially from someone who has been watching the show from season one.

I suppose what I mean is, the comedy is pretty lame and has been for a while.

I preferred the darker tone of the earlier years but I still want to see how it all ends.

Recently got round to watching the first episode and i enjoyed
I loved the end. It was as if everything kinda came full circle with that note which was a key factor for season 1. Bearing in mind when they filmed that episode, season 8 hadn't been confirmed as the final season so you get the impression season 8 could be a throwback to the season that started off this amazing show.

Episode 1 was brilliant and I too really loved the scene with Bree and Gabs in the car. Anyone else seen Episode 2 yet? The ending of that is fantastic too - very chilling stuff. It seems that the focus is on Bree at the moment with this letter but I hope the series gives all of them one big final storyline to end dramatically on. I'm finding Susan's guilt storyline to be excellent comedy and how it's affecting her relationship with the other girls who yes seem to be acting as if nothing has happened! I'm also still peeved that they split Tom and Lynette and hope they bring them back together. Their constant battle to out do each other throughout the last two series and Bree's new toy boys I have to admit to have found tiresome.
