Review: It's well known round these parts that my TV viewing habits are mostly reserved for DVD. I don't have TiVo (or TiTo) and I'm thankful for it. I know my personal life (what there is of it) would be over and I would surrender my life to the all powerful boob tube.

It’s also well known that I have no tolerance for legal drama or procedural shows. They just don’t hold any sort of affection for me. Could be that I wanted to be a lawyer at one point in my life, could be that I haven’t met many lawyers I liked as a person. Or it could be that most of those shows bore the living shit out of me. Now there is a few exceptions but those all fall into the comedy category (see Boston Legal).

However Dirty Sexy Money has far more in common with Dynasty than it does Law and Order (yay!) and we are saved from the dull procedural stuff by plain ol nasty skullduggery in ways that would make Aaron Spelling rise from the grave and applaud.

It’s a return to old school prime time soaps, but without all the lame cat fights and paper thin plots. From jump this has a much larger scope in mind and the writers are letting things unfold at a pace that poor Nick George (Peter Krause) can barely handle. He’s a man trapped in his fathers shadow and stuck between a good deed and a family of demons. On the one hand he was all but forgotten as a child while his father devoted all his time to these people but if he follows in his footsteps he’ll have major cash and clout to do some serious good in the world. Will he succumb to greed over time? Or will he stay within their ranks long enough to find out what really happen to his father and bail out before things get too ugly?

I wasn’t expecting to really be all that impressed with Dirty Sexy (despite my obvious attraction towards the title) but when each disc ended I found myself popping in the next to find out where this ride was going. Which I guess is a pretty decent endorsement in and of itself.

Overall: If you loved shows like Dallas and Dynasty or even lower brow stuff like Melrose and Desperate Housewives you’ll probably find some love for the Dirty Sexy as well.
