Dirty Sexy Money
Did anyone give “Dirty Sexy Money” a try? I did on a fluke and loved it! The story centers around a lawyer named Nick, who’s father was a layer for “The Darlings,” Manhattan’s most wealthy and powerful family. Nick vowed not to be anything like his father, grew up to be a lawyer, but stayed away from the money and the fame type cases. Nick’s father ended up dying in a plane crash, and the family decided to hire Nick in place of his father. Nick agreed, thinking he could do this his way, keep his distance and keep normal hours. Think again! The family has all the characters for an insane primetime soap. For starters, one of the daughters Karen is in love with Nick, always has been and always probably will be, even though she’s going into marriage number four. One brother Bryan hates Nick and his now dead father, is a Reverend for a local church and has had an affair and been dumped with the kid. Another brother Patrick is the DA and considering running for the Senate, but is having an affair with a transsexual on the side. Then there are the twins Juliette and Jeremy, Jeremy is a drug addict party boy while Juliette is an aspiring actress who basically sucks. Just when Nick though he couldn’t take it and quit . . . he’s lured back in. He learns his father had been having an affair with Mrs. Darling for almost 40 years and Bryan may have arranged an “accident” which caused his plane to crash.
I’m avoiding reading this post since I haven’t watched this yet. (Past my bedtime.) But it’s on the DVR and I’m kind of anxious to watch it — heard someone on the radio this morning who said it was great.

I watched it too by mistake because it came on after PP and I happened to have the tv left on. But I loved it! It was an awesome show. I love Peter Krause anyway – Six Feet Under was the best show I’ve ever seen! I’ll definately be tuning in again next week and hopefully the ratings are high enough to keep this one on the air for a while!

Obviously, they did a good thing by putting it after PP because I, too saw it by mistake and loved it! I have enjoyed a lot of those actors in past performances and they can do a lot with the story line. Did anyone think Nick’s daughter looks like Dakota Fanning? I wonder if she’s her little sister.

I missed it I to changed the channel to watch Top Chef, But Dakota Fanning does have a little sister named Elle Fanning She did 1 episode on Criminal Minds, they look so much a like

Yep, that was Elle Fanning, Dakota’s little sister.
It was a pleasant surprise to see the OC’s Samaire Armstrong in addition to Natalie Zea, who Dustin reported was going to be on it. And Billy Baldwin is not Alec, but fortunately he is no Stephen either.

I loved this show! A lot of drama, and a lot of comedy! It definitely fills a void left open for too long on tv IMO. The only character I found to be hit and miss was Karen, but it could still be some lingering hate for “Gwen” from Passions LOL Jeremy and Juliet stole the show for me though 🙂

I finally got to watch this on Sat. night and this is a good show. “The Darlings” seem a little too over the top, but, sadly, they mirror real-life. (I expected one to be named Paris.)
I, too, thought the little girl looked like Dakota — guess you’ve solved that one for me.
This will be a keeper on the DVR for a while. Can’t wait to see how they top transsexual hooker (oh, yeah, NOT a hooker), winning a yacht in a card game and having a minister who hates the lawyer (are they allowed to hate people?) and who has an illegitimate kid.
