I like European and Amarican TV dramas, especially Desperate Housewives, an American drama. In America season 4 is now on the air. It is the normal situation that we Japanese cannot watch overseas dramas in real time because of the language barrier. We have to wait to watch it until the original transcript is translated into Japanese. Sometimes that annoys me. Season 3 has just finished in Japan while Americans are watching season 4 in America. Unfortunately we have to wait to watch season 4 for at least 6 months.
Last week my British friend lent me a DVD, including some episodes of season 4 that had been recorded in America. Fabulous! I'm very glad to be able to watch season 4's episodes earlier. As all episodes are only in English, it's useful for me to improve my English skills. I watched one episode the other day. Though all the characters are very familiar to me, I could hear what they said easily. I can enjoy it for a while. I'm very happy.
Why does Desparate Housewives attract me? I think it's because it is not categorized only as home comedy and it includes some genres such as mystery, romance and thriller. As the 5 main women in the drama are older than me, I'm very curious about everything that they do and think in their daily lives. Of course the way of life is very different between Japanese and Americans. I also like to discover the cultual differences while watching Desperate Housewives.
