Tonally, "Private Practice" has not found its sweet spot. Dirty Sexy Money, on the other hand, has. The soap opera fully owns its soapiness.
-
It is so over the top--in such a fantastically bad-taste way--and so out-there crazy, that tonight's episode (at least) is every bit as good as those old soaps.
-
Its stripped-from-the-tabloids approach is nothing new, but it's well done, and a little familiarity won't hurt the show's chances.
-
Watching Nick (Peter Krause), family lawyer and honorary Darling, struggle to preserve his soul while fixing the family's messes is such fun you can almost forget the show's such a gaudy anachronism.
-
The campy, trampy series still boasts one of the best ensembles on TV, although this overstuffed episode feels like the show might now be more aptly titled Crazy Sexy Money.
-
Hilarious implausibility, overheated dialogue and enough soap to do several loads of laundry are part of its appeal.
-
After going through its share of growing pains, it now operates with clockwork efficiency. But the characters seem even more one-dimensional than they were last year.
-
This moves the show closer to the "Dallas" model...It makes our lives simpler, though it does pressure the writers to come up with ever-more appalling behavior.
