    Juries still out on this one. Interesting characters and great actors, but writing may be a bit too compressed.

    Great cast. But certainly that doesn't translate into a great show. I guess if you like to watch spoiled rich and a lot of whining.

    Good to have a 'rogue family' show back, after too many years without Dallas/ Dynasty-esque dramas!

    Totally transparent, predictable and annoying! I'm forced to watch it every week, and the BEST part of each episode are the shots of NYC. Every other aspect of the show is horrible, even Peter Krause, which is a big surprise.

    I really expected this to be horrible, but it was good, campy fun. Dramatic yet funny, completely mindless but surprisingly deep, much like the celebutards they lampoon.

    Great show. Expected more but I saw the second episode and it was better. Private Practice along with Bionic Women were good too with the former being better.

    Dirty Sexy Money is everything you want in a drama with terrific actors to make the show seem relatable even though the plot is so far fetched . Brilliant. I'm addicted!

    If you have been watching this series from the start, by now you may have begun to realize that "we haven't seen nothing yet". There has been a story underneath the story, and it's been slowly building. From the first, I suspected that there was more to come, and I believe it will happen soon. Tripp has been too kind, too gentle, and too forgiving.

There has been a story underneath the story, and it's been slowly building. From the first, I suspected that there was more to come, and I believe it will happen soon. Tripp has been too kind, too gentle, and too forgiving. He didn't get where he is in the business world by being any of those. Underneath is a will of steel, and a determination to end up on top. Watch out when the sparks start to fly.… Expand

    Really fun & over-the-top, but way more believable than, say, Nip/Tuck. The cast is a 10 all the way and the writing is superb. The story is kind of a throw-away, but so what. With lines this good coming from these actors, no story necessary.

    I was interested in this show because it had some interesting promoting. However, after watching it last night, I became disenchanted with the whole thing. The main character tries to make us feel sorry for him the whole time, leading me to wonder when the show would start getting good. The Darling family characters are poor caricatures of current famous socialites and celebrities. It was I was interested in this show because it had some interesting promoting.

The Darling family characters are poor caricatures of current famous socialites and celebrities. It was almost like watching a Lifetime movie with bad SNL skits thrown in every once in a while. I was bored. Such a pity, because the premise could have made for some good "bad" television.… Expand

    So far, seems like an apt little satire of our obsession with wealth, fame, and the like. I didn't want to kind of love it, but I kind of did. We'll see how future episodes go.

    Just another average T.V show. Although Peter Krause character is so annoying and he doesn't show any emotion and some of episodes are over the top. But some are entertaining but just not that great.

    Donald Sutherland is amazing and the writing gets better all the time. It is certainly a guilty pleasure but well crafted scripts and fun characters keep me tuning in each week.

    Great show. The best part of the show is the characters habits and mishaps are ripped right out of Hollywood headlines.

    Yet despite an unusually high-octane (and yes, reasonably sexy) cast ably led by "Six Feet Under's" Peter Krause, the pilot doesn’t quite gel--feeling too determined to be quirky and provocative, and baited with a mystery that lacks the allure of the suicide that set "Housewives" in motion.

    As messy as it sounds, the cast is good, the show looks great and the executive producer is Greg Berlanti, a writer whose recent track record ("Everwood," "Jack & Bobby," "Brother & Sisters") is unmatched.
