an unhinged recap of Desperate Housewives (season two)

welcome back. i filmed this one despite it being 88 degrees inside my apartment because i am so brave. what will kill us first: sweating due to our planet's imminent death, a mysterious neighbor, or a creepy pharmacist?

totally forgot how normal hiring a PI for anything in this show is 🤣

[@lilxamryn]

I can’t believe that you don’t have more views. The dedication is insane

[@AbbyByrne]

Thank you for watching omggg ❤️❤️

[@kSchmidt583]

the only fun thing about this season is susan was too self-absorbed to notice anything about the Applewhite's

[@AbbyByrne]

you're soooo right omg 😭😭

[@fugitive_]

On rewatching these I was originally gonna skip this season but then I saw Orson is introduced in this season so I guess I will watch it 😭

[@7higirl]

Literally just searched it on KZbin to see if there was commentary from someone my age on this. You did a great job

[@AbbyByrne]

Thank you so much!!! ❤️

[@RissaLikeLisa]

George does not deserve a little headstone I see lol

[@AbbyByrne]

I was so thrilled to burn him that I 4gor 💀 rest assured he receives a headstone when i notice the error on camera during s3!

[@yosoyyo13]

never saw this series but obseses with this videos. waiting for season 3!

[@ryderhoustonx]

season two is actually my favorite bc Bree goes throughhhh it… when i was younger i thought the andrew being gay storyline was juicy af. also i love the lynette at work storyline and all of gabys stuff… i mean.. the nun fight!? perhaps its the anomaly that is the inclusion of the applewhites’ storyline that makes it interesting to watch. the season is all-around pretty absurd

[@rontanamo_bae]

omg its crazy that these are the first videos on your channel. Ive never heard of this series but I am loving your deep dives. Just a waiting game for the algorithm to do its work now, good luck!

[@AbbyByrne]

thank you so so much, you're so kind :') ❤️❤️❤️

[@samiragisiger5854]

I watched DH when it first aired. I was looking for someone wo does recaps of the seasons. S glad I found you! Also I feel relieved that I'm not the only one who wasn't interested in the things Susan did.

[@emmyb0t]

omfg i remember my first time watching season 2 with the apple white storyline and being so uncomfortable… definitely ruined this season for me, it’s crazy how much problematic subject matter was overlooked in this show 😭

[@juliescrochetpieces]

also leaving a comment here for the algorithm, this deserves all the views in the word. ❤ everything is so accurate and you are super fun to watch!

[@AbbyByrne]

thank you omg :') you're an angel ❤️

[@fugitive_]

I really thought i was gonna fall asleep listening to season 1 but now I’m on season 2. You make this extremely entertaining! I was watching the screen all through the 1st video even though there were no clips from the show. I am just really invested now!

[@heatherb9769]

[@suepstock]

I love your channel! I've been having such a cozy afternoon

[@AbbyByrne]

thank you so so much!!

[@SincerelyTemi]

very glad i found this channel because desperate housewives is life! always!

[@Kinsey6King]

For whatever reason, I have trouble finding people to watch these TV shows with and so your videos have been heaven sent, I agree with your humor and your tag and literally you do not have enough views or subscribers for the amount of effort put into these videos.

[@AbbyByrne]

Aww yay, welcome!!

[@sharkiealami7817]

Ooh new fav channel ❤

[@harryhackwood7254]

Binged this and the season 1 vid, I've started s5 of the show recently and it just isnt hitting the same 😥thanks for reminding me how fucking camp it was back in the day, legendary work

[@fugitive_]

Im really bad at remembering whos who when i first watch stuff like this but after you mentioned orson was dale cooper i definitely remembered his name and i didnt even realize he shows up all the way back in season 2

[@TheRachelID]

DUDE i can't imagine the amount of work this was

[@AbbyByrne]

thank you for watching!!! It's been a ridiculous labor of love - maybe the worst thing I've ever done tbh but also the best

[@chrissybridges6043]

I actually really like that you point at the characters even if I know the main ones the side pieces get confusing cause there not as revelent still relevant to the story don’t get me wrong we need them but also you look so cute bouncing around and pointing I love your energy also yes burn George

[@AbbyByrne]

something in me just moves me to point... I gotta move... I am one with the wall.. I feel like steve kornacki on election night or something 😭🫶

[@oliviaschofield8335]

Please please can you do the other seasons? I just started watching and I’m on season 4 and I just have so much to say this show is so insane

[@AbbyByrne]

omg I literally JUST posted season 3 about a minute ago. enjoy!!! I do plan to do all 8 seasons!

[@AdderlynAndChill]

I'm one of those people who sees Tom Scavo as a DILF! 🙋‍♂

[@AbbyByrne]

I respect the grind 🤝🤝🤝🫡

[@rachelzimmermann8249]

Season 2 is the worst season of the show by farrrrr

[@theaudiobookaficionado]

it was also 88 degrees inside my apartment today how and why are you wearing jeans and a sweater

[@AbbyByrne]

it was the nicest clean outfit I had at the time of filming I'm afraid 😞
