I seriously don't understand how some people don't get this tv show - the whole point of it is to satirize the "girl in the window" novel genre.
It is meant to be a joke from the very beginning till the last scene.
Is a comedy thriller that emphasises the wine-addicted-depressed-casserole-specialist-suburban-desperate-housewife and is also beautifully crafted, filled with lots of suspense moments making you second guess till the very last minute of it.
Loved it, but part of me doesn't want a second season (the last scene kind of opens that opportunity) because it might spoil it. But, we never know!
