Season One Synopsis

Years ago we had Dynasty and after years without a juicy primetime drama on the air, a new family charges in and promises to rival even good ole Alexis Carrington. The Darling family has it all -- money, power and privilege, and Nick George is determined to never succumb to that lifestyle when he takes over for his father as the Darlings personal attorney. When Nick's father passes away under mysterious circumstances, it's up to him to keep the Darling family empire running and their naughty offspring in line.

My Guilty Pleasure of the Week

Let's face it, today's television shows are much smarter than they were years ago, catering to a more intelligent audience. Shows such as Lost have made us use our brains, and we love every single second. It's been years since we had a great primetime soap opera, we needed a mindless drama to dig into each week and Dirty Sexy Money couldn't have come at a better time. There is not one single character I can relate to, or compare to anyone I know -- and that is exactly what I love about this show.

It is worth your hard-earned cash?

Our money may not be dirty or even sexy, but finding a way to escape the pitfalls of life is priceless. This DVD is completely loaded with fun bonus features that are sure to keep you entertained for many hours beyond the 10 hours of the season one episodes. Give the Darling family a chance to invade your living room, you won't be sorry!
