I figured that since so many of my friends watch DH I should give it a chance, but the more episodes I get through the more I consider unfollowing the series. I expected to dislike a few characters (only because I always find something to bother me) but I never thought I’d come to despise the characters I initially thought I’d like. I thought I’d hate Bree and Gabrielle and be quite fond of Lynette and Susan.
Lynette was OK at first. She was tired and mean but then she turned into that sort of mother that can’t see the obvious flaws of her own children and I can’t stand that (I’m not saying it was right of Bree to spank one of Lynette’s brats when he repeatedly defied Bree, but no one even mentioned anything about Lynette throwing her four (!) children at Bree when she had expressively declined babysitting them).
Susan was confused and lonely at first but sson turned into a neurotic, clumsy, bordering on stupid, desperate person I could no longer identify with. I fast forward whenever she’s on now.
Bree has a twisted view of what homosexuality is, but is otherwise very pragmatic and collected which I kind of admire her for. She gets shit done and would die for those she loves.
Gabrielle is a selfish and greedy bitch but only because she used to have it tough and never wants to be poor ever again. She also speaks her mind. And she shares my passion for shoes.
There will be drama when you’ve got nothing better to do than gossip about your neighbours; especially when your neighbours seem to have a dirty past. In conclusion, the human problem is that we always want what we don't have and therefore could get a little desperate in the search for that. Also, boredom brings nothing good.
I’m only a few episodes into the second season but I’ve got a completely different view of the housewives now, comparied to the start of the first season. I liked them at first. Now I'm starting to have second thoughts.
