DVD review: Desperate Housewives The Complete Fifth Season
Wisteria Lane moved forward 5 years since Season 4. The jump through time bred new mysteries explored throughout Season 5. Overall, the newest installment of “Desperate Housewives” made for an entertaining, soapy ride, but failed to match the series’ high points.
Edie Britt (Nicolette Sheridan) moved back into the neighborhood, with her new husband, Dave Williams (Neal McDonough). While Dave seems friendly enough, he has a dark secret that involves Mike (James Denton). Mike and Susan (Teri Hatcher) are divorced as the season begins, and each has moved on.
Bree (Marcia Cross) success as an author and caterer is enough to rival Martha Stewart, though her new career is causing some jealousy with husband Orson (Kyle MacLachlan). Gabrielle (Eva Longoria Parker) has lost her fashion-queen crown to care for her blind husband, Carlos (Ricardo Shavira), and her two young chubby daughters.
In the Scavo family, Lynette (Felicity Huffman) watches someone in her family begin a dangerous affair. Husband Tom (Doug Savant), in the midst of a mid-life crisis, starts a band with Mike, Dave and Orson.
A bright spot is Beau Bridges’ guest starring role as a handyman in the series’ 100th episode, “The Best Thing That Could Have Ever Happened.”
