Summary: Very good until Juliet enters the picture
Comment: It is a very good series until Juliet enters the picture. Watching her was bothersome, her character closely resembling the shallowness of Paris Hilton. If you are over the age of 16, plain and simple, she is just irritating. I fast forwarded her parts. Nick, the family lawyer, was excellent just like he was in Six Feet Under. He is a pleasure to watch.

Summary: Best title EVER
Comment: It's a fun Hancock-esque take on primetime soap operas like Dynasty, demonstrating that extreme wealth just makes things even more dysfunctional for a family. The Darling family is completely whacked out, with oldest son Patrick cheating on his wife with a transgendered woman while running for Senate, middle son Brian as an extremely hostile priest, oldest daughter Karen being such a serial divorcee that her most recent marriage doesn't even survive the reception, and fraternal twins Jeremy and Juliet as aimless party boy and Paris Hilton knockoff respectively. And their family lawyer Nick George has to ride herd on all of their craziness while trying to solve the murder of his father, who'd had the job before him, fend off Karen's perpetual advances on him, and try to keep his own marriage from imploding amid all the standard soap opera intrigue. It's a really good satire of the genre.

Summary: Smart and Engaging!
Comment: i kind of had to laugh at the reviews that are some how aghast at all the "philandering" that goes on...this isn't little house on the prairie! If you want moral fortitude, this is not the show to watch. I would have thought the title of the show...DirtySexyMoney...might have tipped one off to the fact that this family wasn't going to be an American ideal. They are a capitalist ideal certainly. The acting is brilliant, the characters are complex and likable despite their shortcomings. Peter Krause is SUPERB in his role as Nick George. Donald Sutherland plays the quintessential Patriarch with the evil side that is somehow endearing. This show is a wonderful social commentary as well on the super rich culture that reality tv can't seem to get enough of these days...Juliet (the youngest Darling along with twin brother Jeremy) is most certainly a charatature of Paris Hilton. She plays the role to perfection...and unlike Miss Hilton, she's lovable not annoying. This show is smart and funny and extremely engaging. It's one of the best shows on television. I am thrilled that this show survived the writers strike. Season two has proven to be just as engaging as season one...even though Juliet is off on a jaunt somewhere....(the actress Samaire Armstrong is rumored to be dealing with a recurring drug habit). If you haven't seen this show, I recommend it highly! As long as you aren't looking for this show to be a moral compass...it is a fun and fabulous romp. Enjoy!

Summary: Great!
Comment: I enjoy the first season of this series. The second season isn't as good.

Summary: Some good stuff but...
Comment: Dirty Sexy Money is watchable but it's not riveting. Some scenes like the one where the Nick George character gets kissed by his ex and caught by his super sexy wife, are so telegraphed that it hinders the script. Even though you can pretty much guess the plot, there are worst ways to spend a weekend. Just make sure it's a rainy day weekend with a close friend.

DESCRIPTION: Some people say money is the root of all evil. The may be right. Nick George s whole life has been lived in the shadow of the Darling family, but as an adult he s leading the perfect life as an idealistic lawyer, until his father s suspicious death. The absurdly wealthy Darlings of New York have asked him to take over his father s job as their personal lawyer, but the money that will allow him the freedom to be an altruistic do-gooder is only part of the picture. That same money pulls him into the dubious doings of the Darling clan. Power, privilege and family money are a volatile cocktail. END
