It started out as a good show but then I find it became too much. Sort of like in any show for teenage girls like The OC or One Three Hill. When all credibility's gone, you don't really care about the 3rd car crash of the season and the 4rth time somebody's baby dies. But it's hard to blame them. They could of course have made it more realistic and pay more attention to details and symbolism,but why bother? They would have ended up like Mad Men with everyone complaining the show is boring and too slow. Mad Men is not that bad of an example, they are pretty successful and are always nominated for a bunch of awards. BUt they have about 2.49 mil viewers for season 6 which is nothing compared to Downton Abbey's 9.5 mil in season 4. Numbers matter... They are exactly what they want to be (a teenage drama for housewives) and it works great.
