Dirty Sexy Money 9/26/07

Last night was the television premier of the new show, Dirty Sexy Money on ABC.

Synopsis;

When his father dies in a mysterious plane crash, lawyer Nick George reluctantly accepts an offer from billionaire Tripp Darling to take over Nick's father's job as chief counsel for the obscenely wealthy and influential Darling family. In the course of his hectic first day as the Darlings' personal lawyer, Nick discovers some of the various legal and illegal needs of the Darling family's five adult children.

I really enjoyed this show.
It had drama, some comedy, backstabbing, family dysfunction, a lot of great characters with a lot of problems, and you just know that as much as Nick wants and needs this money, he's not really keen on working for this family with a lot of legal issues, not to mention a family history he's just discovering.
Some are just standard legal issues of the very wealthy, but this family has their hands in some illegal stuff as well.
Nick learns at the end of the first episode, that his father had a 20 year long affair with Letitia Darling (Clayburgh), the matriarch and wife of Tripp (Sutherland).
I'm curious to see how this show goes, so I'll be tuning in again next week, 10/3/07, for the second episode titled "Lions", and perhaps this show will become the next great guilty pleasure on ABC's great fall tv lineup.

If you missed this show, you can watch the full episode on ABC.com's media player.
This is also a useful media player to have installed in case you miss any episode of any of your favorite ABC prime time shows.
