In a fortnight we’ll wave a final farewell to Desperate Housewives but don’t despair: here’s another glossy American drama about impossibly beautiful people who spend their days flirting and stabbing each other in the back. This time we’re in the Hamptons – the seaside resort where filthy rich New Yorkers spend their summer holidays – and a comely young woman has rented a plush apartment on the beach. It soon becomes clear that she’s not here to sunbathe but for bloody retribution...
Slick, sassy and gorgeous, this promises to be addictive. So it’s good news that a second series has already been commissioned.
