Dirty Sexy Money

A new nighttime soap opera from ABC. Nick George's (Peter Krause) father is an attorney with one client - the Darling family. The Darlings, headed by father Tripp (Donald Sutherland) and mother Letitia (Jill Clayburgh), are the richest family in New York City. The Darling family and their demands drove Nick's mother away and kept his father from being there for him. Nick grows up and also becomes a lawyer, but he works on pro bono cases and makes little money. Now his father is dead and the Darlings want him to become their new lawyer. He reluctantly takes the position, mostly for the $10 million dollars Tripp will give him each year for charity. However, he soon realizes how much time and energy the dysfunctional Darling's will take from him. However, he soon learns that his father's plane crash may not be an accident and he becomes determined to learn who may have murdered his dad.

I did not think I would like this show but it is fun. Do not expect high brow entertainment from this show but if you liked 90210 and Melrose Place (like I did) you will like this. The acting is really good. Krause, Sutherland and Clayburgh are all at their best. I will definitely be watching this show all season long.
