Product Description As seen on the Oxygen Channel Complete first series of a high-caliber comedy "The British Desperate Housewives" TheTelegraph (U.K.) "Unrestrained brilliance" San Francisco ChronicleAh, suburbia! The smell of newly mown grass, the colorful blooms in flowerbeds, the clatter of automatic gunfire .at least, thats how it goes in Little Stempington, a posh London burb where the ladies care more about turf wars than topsoil. They stash Glocks in Tupperware, extort protection money from the Wicker Barn, and peddle black-market estrogen patches at the local pub. When mild-mannered Joyce Hazledine (Amelia Bullmore, Im Alan Partridge) moves to town, she finds herself caught between rival gangs led by Camilla (Anna Chancellor, Four Weddings and a Funeral) and Barbara (Felicity Montagu, Bridget Joness Diary). Joyce soon learns that in this quaint English village, women dont kill timethey kill each other. In Suburban Shootout, the laughs hit you faster than rounds from an Uzi and the satire packs more punch than a Viagra-laced baked Alaska. You wouldnt want to live in Little Stempington, but youll never want to leave!

This is only season/series 1 of 2
It's a hilarious series, but season 2 is hard to find. Also, there is no closed captioning. But apart from that, excellent series.

Best show ever
I'm very picky about TV, but this show is hilarious. The originality, cleverness, and above all humor of the writing was a pleasant surprise, plus it's nice to see a cast of women allowed to be funny, crass, and violent without apologizing. I remember reading some tagline comparing it to Desperate Housewives, but I say nerts to that! It's better! I'm so bored with the numerous depictions of women as materialistic, fashion, man, and money obsessed, with some half hearted message of female empowerment shoe horned in. The women of "Suburban" are gangster cliches wrapped in house wife cliches, and the actresses bring heaps of fun and charisma to each character. It's just completely driven by ridiculous humor and surprises. So totally worth checking out!...plus, I love Bill and Jewel. He's super funny and adorable, and she's completely nuts. They're great :)

I don't really have a title for this disc.
If you like a lot of action, and shoot em ups, this will please. For me, it wasn't as good as I had hoped, I was hoping for more of a story line. I would rank it like one of the "B" movies from the 50's and 60's. Decent movie, just not my cup of tea.

Fun and different.
Early Tom Hiddleston show. Even if he wasn't in it I would have enjoyed it. Offbeat and hilariously shocking.

Super silly and fun, but fairly raunchy
Raunchy and surprisingly sexual for a TV show, but extremely hilarious! It is silly and goofy but does not try to take itself seriously, which gives it the fun appeal. Overall, I really enjoyed this show. FYI, it is only 8 1/2-hour episodes and there is a second season, which continues the story-line.

I Couldn’t Stop Laughing
I never laughed so hard from start to finish and binged in one go. Real Housewives ala Tarantino or Guy Ritchie

Bought for the Tom Hiddleston, stayed for the laughs.
I bought this because I'm obsessed with Tom Hiddleston, but I ended up really liking this show. The humor is definitely the dry, British sort so I can see many Americans not enjoying it but I tend to like that style of comedy so I thought this show was hilarious! I definitely recommend this series.

must buy !
I loved it! Even thought I've seen it season 2, I just wish season 2 was available on dvd in Canada.Absolutely shocking and hilarious I just wish there was more. If you know who Tom Hiddleston is you are in for a treat! Excellent performances by all! Great TV show!
