'Devious Maids: Season 1'
(Susan Lucci, Anna Ortiz, Dania Ramirez, Roselyn Sanchez, et al / 3-DVD / NR / 2014 / ABC Studios)

Overview: Sex. Lies. Murder.It's all in a day's work. Meet five women bonded together by their jobs, their dreams and the dirt they sweep under the rug!

DVD Verdict: My goodness, from the first moment of episode one right through the end of season one, each weeks story and plot got better and better. The script, cast, and production values are as strong, if not better then those used in 'Desperate Housewifes' or even, flashing back, the 'Golden Girls'!

After the first episode I actually wondered how they were gong to keep the pace alive! I mean, sure the storyline read like a trashy novel, but then after episode two and then three I became addicted and even stayed up late watching the show on DVR! I will warn though, you can listen and run into the kitchen for a quick snack, BUT you WILL miss something if you do not pause these DVDs!

Again, and I cannot stress this enough, 'Devious Maids' is one of the best shows I have seen in a LONG while. Love how it's not just for women but men will enoy it too. My boyfriend and I make a date night to watch this show; I can't believe he's that into it, it's simply that good! You never know what's going to happen, just when you think you know it does a 360!

There are so many different storylines which run simultaneously and there is always a cliffhanger! Oh, and don't you worry ladies as there's plenty of sex and mystery to go around for the all of us! Some might say that 'Devious Maids' is "surprisingly entertaining," but me, I would akin it to those loveable Spanish TV soap operas - cozy, understandable, relatable and just good ol' plain fun!

If you were a 'Desperate Housewives' fan you WILL enjoy this show. Indeed, I highly recommend this for all fans of this ilk of TV (women or men) who enjoy guilty pleasures - and women (and men) who like shows with all kinda emotions flying all over the place! ot to mention, the sexy, hot, tanned maids!

Executive Producer Eva Longoria and especially EP Marc Cherry has not only learned his craft well, he has become an excellent example of what first rate quality Television is all about. This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.78:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs and comes with the Special Features of:
