the only thing that pisses me off is that everyone around (both the characters and the audience) believes that Bree has gone downhill. a)she does not have to report on who is in her bed and how many of them. the strange desire of society to dig into someone else's dirty laundry and call it "moral principles". b) if a man were in the same situation, no one would say a word and there would be no "rescue operations" from "caring" friends. do it by deducing, gentlemen. the main thing is to be like people - oh, this logic of small provincial towns!

@wow-lovely: I don't think Bree has gone downhill, but she really needs help, because she is not happy with what she is doing, but only numbs the pain. But, unfortunately, those who could really help her are too busy with themselves.

I would argue about unhappiness) Making friends with your dark side is much more sensible than denying and suppressing it. I think it's just a period after which Bree will figure out where her values really are, and leave them, and where the imposed ones are, and get rid of them

What Susan is doing defies logic. That is, when she killed a woman with a child, she did not go to her relatives to find out how they were. I didn't try to contact her husband, who was in a mental hospital. She lived quietly for herself, did not grieve. And right here, I can't live if I don't find out how his relatives are.

To say that she lived quietly and did not grieve is absolutely wrong! She suffered a lot after that incident, they even divorced Mike, because she did not see for herself a way out of this corner of pain and guilt. She is just a very conscientious person who always acts according to her principles, and all her illogical actions now are just because she acted against her nature. And now this guilt is spilling out wherever it can. Susan is naive and impulsive, hence these illogical actions for many. Well, yes, she's far from cold-blooded Bree. But not everyone is the same, and that's a good thing.

Susan's stupidity is incredibly annoying. And I'm thinking more and more how nice it would be if she married Ian and went to live with him in London. I'd like to see Mike and Bree together. In my opinion, both of them would have had a much better life from this, because she always lacked a reliable man, and he — an adequate good woman next to him. It's easy to imagine how, after learning that her husband knocked Mike down, Bree one day appears on his doorstep with a basket of cupcakes. They could get closer and be happy together, and Susan just doesn't deserve such a person. Yes, he made mistakes, but he always tried to correct and do the best, protected his loved ones. Susan is always putting everyone at risk. As much as I liked her at the beginning of the series, she is just as hateful at the end.

Kick-ass. Susan is finished. When Bree didn't tell them about the note and Chuck, they found out and that's it, Bree is no longer a friend. And then this one is finished, draws pictures, flies home to the relatives of the murdered man, leaves checks and all this was ignored..

@Iradakzlv: I totally agree, it would be more logical for everyone to stop talking to her and get into trouble because of her. Bree was trying to protect everyone, and then specifically tell everything. Because of Susan's stupidity, she took a long break from watching the series.

It still seems to me that Ben and Bree would look better together..
They said that Renee opened up more in season 8, and I didn't care about her, so it is. It takes more seasons to get used to it. Oh, Iddy.. I don't like that Bree drinks without problems while suffering from alcoholism and I like her new image. I hope Linnet will improve. It's a pity it only started showing in the last season.

I dreamed today that Tom and Linnet were killed, and their nephew was to blame for it. They were sucked into some kind of quagmire, and this nephew stayed to watch their daughter shallow. I was so devastated, I couldn't believe that the series would end like THIS. Not that I liked him so much to worry so much, but I was so sad. And then, it seems, Gabi and Carlos died :D Not sure about them.

Susan painted a picture, Susan went to that family, again drawing attention to her person as a suspect, but surprisingly, the girls decided to organize a boycott against Bree. It's a pity that everyone abandoned her, and it was she who tried to hush up this situation and protect everyone. It's insanely painful to look at her
And Bree is also accused of lying, while Susan's lies towards the girls could have dragged them all to prison a hundred times already

Everyone writes about how stupid Susan is, but no one thinks about how much she helped the girl in the end, at the cost of such a risk. Of course, her trauma will not disappear by itself from this, but it will obviously be easier to live knowing that it is definitely over, without melting it inside yourself and knowing that the mother is on her side.

such a result is pure chance. Susan went there not to "help a poor family / maybe he also raped in another family," but to ease her soul, without thinking about the consequences. In fact, by one of her actions, she could substitute herself and her friends, but she did not think about it, she only wanted to "atone for her sin" so that it would be easier for her to live, and not so that everything would be fine for everyone. She was so mired in her selfishness that she didn't even realize that if she was put in jail, then her son would be in trouble, because Mike would have to work even harder, and so on…

@xokpr: Yes, but why she went there in the first place is another question. Because she could safely leave at the end after she gave the check, "relieving her soul", without putting herself at risk, and no one would suspect anything. It all unfolded precisely because she could not just leave without talking to the girl, suspecting already on the spot that she was a victim - that is, her pangs of conscience about the murder had nothing to do with it. That is, because of her compassion. Of course, all this can be analyzed in this way only retrospectively, but still.

And I like to watch Bree change. It can be seen how with each season and problem she becomes more emotional, comparing with the first season so generally wow
Much more interesting than the degradation of the characters - Lynette and Gaby. How many times has Lynette realized that she commands people and so on? Why is it exposed every time by some kind of enlightenment... Well, maybe I misunderstood, I just would like her to somehow develop in the plot ((( I like her and it's sad to watch her blunt
Gabi So finally.... To her, which friend will not come to share, she has already told everyone that they are all rags and they are crying. Yes? Well, then I would have buried the corpse myself, THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM ALO, you dragged your friends into this. Initially, not going to the police was not going anywhere ...

@cactustrent00: согласна про Бри и Линетт (очень она мне всё равно симпатична всё равно, я надеюсь, она всё же изменится после этого осознания), но Габи же капец как поменялась. первые два сезона она была худшей из всех: творила эгоистичные вещи, да ещё и оправдывала их и обвиняла других в своих грехах. а сейчас за ней приятно наблюдать. да, она такая взбалмошная, где-то косячит, но глобально другой человек и сильно чаще поддерживает подруг, дочек и Карлоса.

Вот до сих пор не могу понять, зачем Алихандро приехал к Габи. Ну то есть, очевидно, у нее богатый муж, еще и с приводами за избиение «любовников» жены ранее. Даже, если бы он не явился в свой же дом вечером, что странно - что мешало Габриэль после рассказать ему. Может, у них вообще камеры стоят в доме. С ресурсами, которые у них были на тот момент при самом хорошем раскладе он мог сесть в тюрьму. Либо быть убитым и если не Карлосом, то наемником. При этом у самого Алихандро явно не было лишних денег. Ну то есть какой смысл был восставать из мертвых, рисковать жизнью (ну, очевидно же было, что средств у нее хватает), чтобы что - совратить Габриэль еще раз?

Пересматриваю Домохозяек уже в который раз, раньше Бри было жаль, и этот бойкот сильно раздражал. А сейчас вижу в ней силу противостоять бойкоту и согласна с другими комментаторами: то «моральное падение» = секс, уже не так прискорбно ощущается. Ну секс, ну много, женщина уже давно самостоятельная, как хочет, так и живет.
Так что только алкоголизм вижу как проблему, в остальном, Бри наоборот освободилась, вышла из зажатости «кто что подумает».

А подруги ее не заслуживают Бри.
Ни Габи - эгоистка, инфантильная, сбрасывающая про темы на других, ни Линнет - эгоистка, упёртая и закрывающая глаза, ни Сьюзан - эту вообще надо в мешок и в воду.

Только Рене оказалась нормальной.

За Бри и тревожно, и радостно одновременно. Наконец-то она поняла, что мнение левых людей ничего не стоит, как лицемерна церковная тусовка и что нужно жить как хочешь для себя. Остаётся только надеяться, что она понимает что делает и сможет вовремя остановиться.
Понравилось, как она сказала, что всю жизнь была приличной женщиной и выбирала достойных мужчин, но это так и не сделало её счастливой.

Как же она меня бесила в первых сезонах. Если бы мне тогда сказали, что к концу сериала она станет моей любимой домохозяйкой, я бы посмеялась.))

Где вообще логика? Стран сначала последняя вписалась в их соглашение, тогда как Бри была главным мозгом операции. С копом она познакомилась до, в чем тогда виновата? Сьюзан столько раз чуть не спалилась, а бойкот Бри из-за сокрытия записки, чтобы не тревожить друзей? Они ведь даже не в курсе, что та пыталась покончить с собой. А Сьюзан надо было давно уже отправить в Нью-Йорк с глаз долой, первый кандидат всех в тюрьму упечь.

Ой, что-то сценаристы раздражают:

1. Девочки, обидевшиеся на Бри. В какой-то момент я подумала, что нам просто не показали, что такого ужасного она натворила. Тут абсолютно нет логики!

2. Поведение Бри. В какой момент она стала такой зависимой от других людей? Весь сериал нам поют, что она - железная леди, а, по итогу, имеем какую-то слабохарактерную истеричку (щас меня заминусят, я знаю😄)

В общем, какой-то сезон, цепляющий только на интригу, выдержанности персонажей я тут не вижу

Самый бесячий и мрачный сезон.
Смотрела сериал, когда он только выходил, была моложе))) и тогда казалось, какие же они все подруги. Сейчас смотрю и понимаю, что все они лицемерки и дружить не умеют совсем.
Ну и конкретно по сезону. Да, он захватывает, но как же раздражает отсутствие логики сценаристов в том, что они делают.
Бри скрыла про записку - враг народа. Записки в принципе шлют ей: значит она виновата, ведь её какой-то знакомый их во все это втянул типа. Причем до сих пор этот записочник ничего плохого им не сделал и даже помог с Чаком. То есть по факту сокрытие этой информации никак ничего не испортило. И Габи тоже не хотела никому рассказывать.
А про доставучего Чака она не рассказала никому, и тут Габи обиделась.. Хотя что бы они сделали, если они и так друг с другом толком не общаются… Бри только ей и могла бы рассказать. Габи бы по-любому тоже скрыла это от остальных.. Хотя бы от Сьюзан.

При этом Карлоса - виновника торжества никто не обвиняет, не пилит.
Габи: из за которой вся ситуация произошла (она всех втянула в это, так как не хотела чтобы Карлос пошел в тюрьму. А он бы сам может и пошел бы) - тоже никто не прессингует
Сьюзан: из-за которой они уже дважды висели на волоске - никто ниче не делает
Линнет хотя бы не тупила в этой ситуации, тут ок. Но почему она такая контролерша винит только Бри? И тоже в желании за них решать, хотя Линнет сама этим постоянно грешит???

Почему никто не общается с Бри? Чтобы если вдруг ещё что-то она выяснит, никто не удосужится об этом выслушать. А потом опять будут её обвинять в сокрытии информации?
Сьюзан вообще никому не рассказала, что замыслила поехать в Оклахому блин.
