    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
  2. Dirty Sexy Money lives up to its name.
  3. 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.
