Started watching because I lost my job/am pregnant and like background noise while I clean and such. My mom watched as it aired from the first episode, but I remember she stopped watching around season 5 and when I asked about it she said the plot was just getting really ridiculous to maintain her interest (which seemed silly at the time because the show always seemed to be like a soap opera where the main thing that drives the story is drama, not necessarily good/relatable plot points).
Anyway, I’m at the part where Orson and Brie are starting to get along again after the plane crash and Carlos and Gabby hear the Italian family arguing about “not being careful enough” and I’m just like… at a saturation point I guess.
I really did enjoy the beginnings of the series with Mary Alice’s suicide and up until after Katherine’s ex gets his karma. The whole thing with Dave was a bit interesting but then the whole thing with Katherine losing her mind over Mike getting back with Susan just made me mad. Not to mention Tom never seeing even a little bit of character development the entire series it feels like. At first I felt bad for Lynette now I’m like, girl. You really chose this life and that man. I wouldn’t have trusted him to get the vasectomy, I would have insisted on going with for the procedure and the follow up appointments given his inability to put her needs above his own when it comes to sex.
Now whenever they come on the screen I almost audibly groan.
Really wanted to finish the series but I think I’m seriously going to need to take a break to build my tolerance for how frustrating/unreasonable some of the characters are.
Also I don’t think my opinion is like the end all be all or that no one should like the show. Mostly I’m just sad because now I need a filler show while I cool down from being frustrated about this one 😭 wanted to vent
