After "Desperate Housewives", Marc Cherry actually had a short-lived work, "Devious Maids".
Whether it's Desperate Housewives, Femme Maid or now, Deadly Woman, Marc Cherry's style is evident.
His works all focus on female characters with their own characteristics, interspersed with seemingly ordinary life dramas with different suspense, ingenious design and interesting characters, so "Desperate Housewives" in 2004 was completely born out of nowhere, and it became an instant hit. .
At present, the show has only released the first episode. If the level of the first episode can be maintained in the follow-up, (considering the level of Marc Cherry, this possibility is still very high), then this must be a very watchable drama. set.
The show focuses on three women from different eras: Beth Ann, a housewife in 1963, Simone, a courtesan in 1984, and Taylor, a strong woman in 2019.
Although they lived in different eras, they all lived in the same mansion in Pasadena and faced similar but different troubles.
Like most women in the 1960s, Beth Ann was content with being a housewife, dressing meticulously every day, keeping her home spotless, and waiting for her husband to come home from get off work.
Facing the doubts of neighbors who were influenced by the newly enlightened feminist trend, Beth Ann did not hesitate to stand by her husband's side, "I am proud to be able to take care of him." But inadvertently, she discovered her husband's cheating.
Beth Ann began to ask herself, what am I but my husband's wife?
Simone has a seemingly perfect life and takes pride in being the enviable figure in the social circle.
After a successful banquet, Simone suddenly discovers her husband's secret. Beneath the surface of her seemingly perfect life, she becomes the same wife.
What makes Simone unbearable is that this secret has been known by competitors in the circle.
Taylor, a successful lawyer, has an open marriage agreement with her screenwriter husband, and everything looks fine.
Until Taylor brought home Jade, a lover who had encountered difficulties, her husband began to look at Jade more and more wrongly, and this once perfectly matched marriage began to be in crisis.

Judging from the title of this film, the audience should expect a "Black Widow Killing Her Husband" type of story. From the first episode, the three heroines do indeed have enough motives to kill her husband.
But things obviously won't be that simple.
According to Marc Cherry's consistent style, it is conceivable that the follow-up plot will be full of reversals, who kills who, how, and what the consequences of killing will be... It's really hard to say.

Or from the first episode, the three-generation style of the film is very obvious.
The stories of the 1960s are the most heartwarming, the stories of the 1980s are the most joyous, and the stories of 2019 make it impossible to guess the next step.
As a viewer who has been chasing "Desperate Housewives" since the first season, this show has rekindled the enthusiasm of watching soap operas while deciphering.
Could there be any hidden connection between these three women of different ages, apart from living in the same house? (In fact, on this point, if it is not for the fact that the three heroines happen to be actors of different races, there will be more guesses) Is there any connection between all the characters that appeared in the three eras?
All in all, this is a show with great potential, and it's definitely a show to watch before the new season starts this fall.
