an unhinged recap of Desperate Housewives (season eight)

[@themostbeautifulisraw4561]

Julie ate when she told Susan she raised her! Susan was too damn needy and put too much on Julie

[@AbbyByrne]

real,,, I was so proud of her for that 😭🫶

[@maaaaaaariah]

As Susan’s #1 hater, this is by far her most insufferable season

[@themostbeautifulisraw4561]

Right, i hateeeee her

[@pandaboy5o]

Bree being the only competent one in a murder situation just makes sense

[@anapvillavicencio]

39:14 you know what, following what you said about characters doing stupid things, I also thought that it would have been easier for Gaby to go look for her gun on the safe box and get it dirty with Alejandro’s finger prints and then place it in his pocket, just to justify defense, and then the problem would’ve been over.

[@benzu79]

Thank you for covering this unhinged show. I'm sad we're leaving Wisteria Lane but can't wait for your next recap series. And The Wall hang it in the Louvre.

[@stinkusbinkus8758]

I just binged the whole series and wanna say WOW, your confidence on camera has grown so fast!! You should be proud!

[@AbbyByrne]

omg thank u so much 🥺🥺🥺

[@JustHereForCats]

I definitely binged this series over the course of like two days 😂❤ I hope Mike’s Mic saw this series. Your wall is magnificent 🥲🥂💝

[@fpcooper95]

Boy oh boy. I don't really think Wisteria Lane is cursed, but there sure are a lot of black umbrellas on your wall 😅😂. Thank you for this masterpiece, looking forward to the next series!! ❤

[@mrs.eileen8620]

As a Black Autistic Queer woman I really appreciate how you spoke about parts of my identity specifically the injustices the show had around them. And I just wanted to give you a shoutout for that you could have just glossed over them but you didn't so thank you so much. I can't wait for the next recap.

[@AbbyByrne]

This is so sweet, thank you so much for the comment 🥺 some of it is definitely tricky territory-especially season two-because I certainly can't (nor do I wish to) speak on behalf of Black viewers of the show. I'd also feel irresponsible if I did a recap and pretended zero issues existed within the many types of representation the show has-some that I am affected by, some not. I'm glad you liked the balance I landed on and enjoyed the recaps. Thank you so much for watching ♥️♥️

[@themostbeautifulisraw4561]

The wall of characters behind you, omg I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate your attention to detail!

[@georgia8239]

How does this only have 8k views you cooked so hard with this

[@broltergeist]

thank you for the excellent recap. just finished the whole series again through you. shame we lost edie before the finale but so many of these arcs were so well written

[@wikstr18]

Wow, I can't believe this series is ending, I literally cried when you discussed Mike's funeral and Karen's death whcih means you did a wonderful job of conveying all those plot points, I love your recaps and look forward to your future content!!!

[@folklorelp]

all the lesbians are heartbroken that this series is over. we're gonna need like a definitive ranking of every dh character ever or something because i might die

[@AbbyByrne]

I def thought about doing a character tier list!!! And I plan on doing a season ranking video and maybe a Top 20 episodes video or something!

[@trippyhippy107]

Just binged all 8 of these videos & the biggest crime is the fact you haven’t gone viral with this series. I can’t wait to hear your thought on pushing daises. (My favourite show that has been cancelled😭) P.s bree supremacy💪🏻

[@AbbyByrne]

thank you for watching 🥺🥺♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@litshaf99]

I have never seen desperate housewives but I found your videos a few days ago. I have binged the whole video series in those days & I have thoroughly enjoyed it. excited to see more from you!! I loved your commentary and humor, great work 🥰✨

[@AbbyByrne]

thank you so much 🥺♥️ I have a Nurse Jackie series recap up now as well, and more content on the way!!

[@babysquatch]

Ugghhh doing my makeup at 7:30 am for work and sobbing over Mrs McClusky and Tom/Lynette 😭

[@ashleighlucero3797]

Can’t wait for your next series recap! I’m hooked 😩🫶🏻✨ I love your detail, your delivery, your imitation of Mary Alice. You’re doing great. I love it

[@AbbyByrne]

Thank youuuu!! I have a Nurse Jackie recap up now! 🙏🥰🩷

[@colleenb8058]

I feel very much like I got in on the ground level of Abby’s content when she didn’t have ads. I’m so happy she’s (hopefully) earning some money from those

[@AbbyByrne]

yesss I got monetized like 3 weeks ago and I've made an estimated $70 so far 😭🙏🙏 the little extra funds for future videos is really nice; I definitely hope to get some better gear soon! And def do let me know if the ads are too many !! I know there's a pre-video ad and then there are 2, I believe, during the video. It's wild bc when I first enabled the mid-roll ads, KZbin placed like 11 of them so I manually did it instead.... like girl relax omgg 😭😭😭😭

[@michsutt]

I watched all 8 videos in the last 2 days. Loved it all I watched this show every Sunday with my mom growing up ( probably too young to watch) now I really wanna watch it again!

[@emelong3152]

But like why am I so sad that this is over

[@jessicamalca]

I hated how Susan Linett and Gabby treated Bree

[@Rayjpop]

I binged all eight episodes of this over the weekend and man did the memories of the show come flooding back!! I really didn’t care for Bree’s ending, and I wish we saw them through the ages like Lynette. She goes from CEO to grandma which is a nice touch but the other women of the lane just get quick moments. I am so excited for the future of your channel because if you ever get to the Pushing Daisies video I’m there!! I’m not sure if you’re looking for show recommendations but Pushing Daisies reminded me of Wonderwall and I think they were coming out around the same time? It might be worth a watch!

[@ashleylara1201]

I’ve been watching these recaps over the past couple days and truly revisiting the wonderful wonderful scene brought back the same feeling I had when i finished watching dh 😭 your videos have been so entertaining 🤍

[@vee1545]

Thank you for this series, the amount of work you put in must’ve been INSANE ❤

[@solborjesson529]

I've never watched this show, but just binged all of these and loved it!! Cannot wait to see which series you go for next!!

[@AamuAurora]

I've binged the entire series in just a few days. Great work! I have nothing interesting to say, but I just wanted to feed the algorithm ❤

[@willlowery1862]

My roommate and I started DH about a month and a half ago and JUST finished season 8 not even 30 minutes ago. Loved watching ur whole series along the way and always looked forward for the next one

[@AbbyByrne]

ohhh amazing!!! I am touched that I could be a part of your DH journey 🥹🫶

[@emilymarino1177]

42:20 Wow, so Tom is the woooorrsst.

[@AbbyByrne]

real

[@53taylorlautnerlover]

cant believe this is the last season:( ive binged all your videos in the last week

[@Bri-om5yv]

Thank you for doing these 🥰🖤

[@sleppydisaster]

See on the one hand I would kill for a reboot because more desperate housewives but on the other hand who could possibly match the vibes of Marcia Cross

[@53taylorlautnerlover]

damn the end of an era (one week of bingeing) but ik for you it was hours and hours of work & dedication so i really appreciate you making this series! its really great & you told the story really well! i hope your pushing daisies series is going well if you still are working on that! or that you are doing great & are happy abt whatever other projects ure working on!:))

[@AbbyByrne]

thank you so much for watching :')) new video covering Nurse Jackie will be up in the next few days!!

[@livelollobotomy]

[@pauliesupastar]

[@아기V]

Saying goodbye is the hardest

[@nbdjz1058]

ohhhh hell yeah we'll be WELL FED today

[@kaiwancallender2761]

Yes, I think the last season all of desperate outside is pretty sloppy but good

[@livelollobotomy]

1:18:41 alright that’s it IM HEADCANNONING BREE AS AUTISTIC SHE JUST LIKE ME FR SHES GAY AND AUTISTIC

[@thisboyjason]

Great recaps!

[@EarlHodge-z8y]

Also, the final season’s arc could’ve been so sickening and groundbreaking if they done it w/ a different character. Not a pedophile, r-word that broke into someone’s home after sundown. Imagine if one of the women had accidentally killed a beloved neighbor on the street and it truly was an accident. They would have to band together and keep a united front to the street in order to keep their secret. Said dead neighbor’s family moves into their relative’s old house to investigate why their relative is suddenly missing…chaos and calamity ensues throughout the season.

[@AbbyByrne]

It could've been cool to parallel the season 1 investigation in that way, but I'm also of the opinion that by this point in the show, nothing big should be introduced. That's also why I enjoyed s7 so much-they expanded upon already established characters and plots instead of dumping new info on us, which would just feel empty and take screentime away from the core cast of characters. And why Alejandro feels like a reasonable choice, since it's a core piece of Gaby's past. I can't really think of a character that could be killed off as of the s7 finale unfortunately. We've pretty much seen everyone else's families by this point/already had subplots dedicated to their family histories.

[@EarlHodge-z8y]

@@AbbyByrne I gotchu on not introducing more ancillary factors to provide for the “mystery” arc of the season, but we have Ben Faulkner, and his character development and involvement was a nothing-burger. The premise of our heroines having to cover up a crime is dope but Alejandro being the victim is just too fucking flimsy. He broke in, tried to assault Gaby, Carlos defended his home and wife. Regardless if he’s ex-convict is irrelevant, it’s an open-shut case, case closed. I vividly remember the fandom being unable to suspend disbelief when this first aired back in 2011-2012. What if Gaby, Carlos, or Bree had accidentally killed some random, tertiary neighbor (Emma Graham, Rose Kemper, Mitzy Kinsky) that we seldom see, but they’re mostly in the background of wide-shots and opening narration teasers…doesn’t matter who, they’re just a plot device(Monique Polier, Melanie Foster, the guy who was a casualty of Angie’s bomb) to create conflict for our leads throughout the season. Hell, Ben could’ve been their relative that moves into their house to investigate why their loved-one is missing. Turning the initial premise of season one on its heads, putting the women in the shoes of their friend Mary Alice. Would’ve been a great send off for the series.

[@carmens9968]

Honestly I wish they had found a Based Dominican order priest for Carlos to confess to or get spiritual direction from. One Dominican priest I know has spoken with male villagers in lawless areas (where corrupt officials were paid by trash to look the other way while the trash SA’d women and children repeatedly) and the male villagers had to act in Self Defense or Defense of Others. They took out the trash permanently and the priest gave them peace that they did the right thing to protect their loved ones. That is what poor Carlos deserved to hear 🩷🥺. Carlos acted in Defense of his wife who was about to get SA’d or worse and did nothing wrong legally or morally IMO. 🩷 Carlos was a hero and I love him for protecting her! 🥹💕

[@fredrikbermhed2529]

Zoomed so fast in!!! Thank you for your amazing work. I'll miss this so much. What's your next project? :)

[@AbbyByrne]

my next big project is a Pushing Daisies retrospective/video essay!!!
