User blog comment:Nosh/What is the best season of Desperate Housewives -- the worst?/@comment-27137239-20151030030802

So, I just watched the series for the first time over the past month and a half and here's my ranking.

#8: Season 2

After the greatness that was Season 1, Season 2 didn't really live up to it. The Applewhite mystery was one of the worst storylines in the show's history.

#7: Season 6

Once again, this season followed a really good season that was Season 5. I liked that Susan and Mike got back together, but I feel like the whole Bree/Karl relationship was forced, the airplane crash was very weird, and the Bolen mystery, just like the Applewhite mystery, was stupid. Eco-terroists? Really? I thought they were hiding something more. Also, I hated the storyline that Kathrine had during this season. I loved her when she first appeared in Season 4 and having her go insane over losing Mike wasn't like her, at all.

#6: Season 8

I was sort of annoyed with the final season. I did like how they didn't bring in any new characters (besides Ben) to focus the yearly mystery on. The mystery involved the four main ladies that we had come to know and love! Carlos killing Alejandro and the girls covering it was a bit much for me. Throughout the first 5-6 episodes, I wasn't liking the mystery or how it was going about but the season got better as the episodes past. Another thing I love about Season 8 was all of the grown up kids coming back and us seeing them for the last times (Danielle, Andrew, Porter, Preston and Julie).

#5: Season 3

I feel like anything following Season 2 was bound to be a hit, since Season 2 was so bad. I really liked what Orson brought to the show (even though he got boring in the later seasons.) It was interesting seeing his storyline play out, and seeing that he was a "good" guy (this statement would be proven to be false in later seasons.) Also, who doesn't love Bang?!

#4: Season 7

I really liked Season 7, I think because I loved Season 1. Bringing back Paul Young, Zach Young, Felicia Tillman, and all of the Martha Huber storylines was awesome. Paul was also AMAZING throughout the whole season, the character and his acting. His character really did a 360 toward the end of the season, and I loved the friendship he and Susan formed. Also, I think Down The Block There's A Riot is one of my favorite episodes of the whole series.

#3: Season 4

It was hard chosing Season 4 over Season 7 but I loved Kathrine throughout this season. Her storyline was kinda extra (like the Applewhites and the Bolens), but unlike Betty and Angie, she actually socialized with the main ladies a lot, which made it easier for me to love her.

#2: Season 5

I loved Season 5 because it focused on my two favorite characters the most, SUSAN and EDIE! The whole Dave storyline was sort of ridiculous but I did like his character.

#1: Season 1

The OG. That is all.
