Desperate Housewives

A recent AFA newsletter depicted the TV series as follows:

"Desperate Housewives confronts viewers with themes of adultery, sexual promiscuity, and deceitfulness portrayed as the norm. The program gives the message time and again that the end justifies the means. If sexual immorality, lying, and manipulation can get you what you want, then it's okay."

I have never watched this program even once, but I knew that it was popular. Can someone who has watched this program share his/her thoughts on this?
