    I've started to watch and couldn't stop. Whoever thinks that's not close to what really happens in Hollywood is, at least, naive. Courtney Cox is the vilan we want to win. It's about cause and consequence. It's about being greedy and pay for it. It's about survival. I really like it.

    if this is to be a tabloid type show, well then lets rachet up the ronchey side of tabloid newpaper, then the show will take off, I know Courteney can play a dirter part than that of last week, go girl.

    I love this show!!!! It is so refreshing to see an actress who has played a character like Monica Gellar for ten years go to a character such as Lucy Spiller and still be so convincing and exciting to watch! I just can't wait for DIRT to come back!!!

    Just too hollow and weak characters. Reality TV does manipulative melodrama much better.

    Just out of curiosity, I tuned into this dog last night. I figured Courtney Cox as a hard driving magazine editor might be a nice twist and based on the previews, it appeared that she could pull it off successfully.

    The filming was superb but the show paints a black ugly picture of Hollywood. One I don't care to see. I don't enjoy watching people taking drugs ugh! Ian Hart was magnificient., award quality acting. Overall far too dark for me.

    This is the best show I have ever watched. Enoguh said. After the weak pilot episode, everything picks up amazingly fast. It's unbelievable good, I'm wishing so hard for a new season.

    I can't wait for this show to come back. I like seeing Courtney Cox in such a contrast to her Friends character.

    Although initially disappointed with the premier episode, the show is actually getting much better as the episodes progress. Courteney is a talented actress and the characters are getting far more interesting as the story lines are developed.

    This show was awful. I was so excited to watch but was extremely disapointed. Cox is miscast in this as she is unable to make me beleive that she could ever be this kind of domineering character. I really hated the weird squiggly captions that kept popping up on screen as well. A total waste of an hour.

    What an incredibly lousy TV show. It wasn't even mildly entertaining. I thought the scenes centered around the schizophrenic character were ridiculous. I gave the show it's chance - watched the entire pilot. I won't be giving it a second chance.

    Lots more sex and drugs than is usually shown on t.v.- I was a little shocked. I also felt sad when the schizo paparazzo's cat died...I loved Laura Allen..she was luminously lovely.

  1. Although several characters are refugees from central casting, there is too much of an earnest streak running through "Dirt" to dismiss it as a breathless soap.

    Dirt is quick-moving but painfully solemn, somehow constituting a plodding romp. At their very best, the first three episodes play like bad Kubrick.

    An embarrassing dud that's both trashy and self-pitying.
