Confession time everybody! We’ve been going nuts on Amazon in lockdown: the good news is that Amazon Prime membership gives us some cracking TV; the bad news is that there is an awful lot of cardboard in the Must TV shed…

Must TV is launching a campaign to get you to (re)watch this this iconic series, which follows a group of cut-throat advertisers that occupy Madison Avenue in the 1960s.

Wisteria Lane is like the Gotham City of the American suburbs, where you ask why on earth do these people keep living here with these constant threats and turmoil’s? Though here, unlike on Batman’s turf, the threats come in the form of passive aggressive neighbours, suspicious spouses and... the eerie narration of a dead neighbour?
