It's not the exact same format as Desperate Housewives but I'm pretty sure if you like that then you'll like this. It's got the same idea of gorgeous people with lovely lives in lovely houses but with a degree of humourous angst. The Starter Wife is about a lady who has to start out again after her husband divorces her. What makes this good is she's not some pathetic soul, but she's clever and funny in her own way, but still with that element of chick flick where she just wants to be happy.
