Filthy Rich

Well it's nice to see the beautiful Kim Cattrall(remember her as Samantha and her sexy colored bra wearing days on "Sex and the City") back on TV again this time she's in the form of Margaret Monreaux a trophy socialite southern belle elegant wife of one Eugene(the still good Gerald McRaney). And that's when things get complex when Eugene is one longer around(supposedly) things are revealing as it appears as aside from her two grown children Eric and Rose that Margaret's nest now includes the grown children of Antonio(Ben Aguilar) and Jason(Mark Young) and the sassy Ginger(Melia Kreilling) all are complex by being a MMA fighter, a pot smoker, and sex internet worker respectively. That just adds to the scandal of the Monreaux empire as it's like the devil has cursed their mega dollar religious empire that includes a TV network. The series is well written and funny with one liners, plus it's sexy and full of weekly drama and twist as it seems ghosts of the past haunt many of the characters. I just like the way the series portrays life, people, as it reveals secrets while showing how all of it intersects with religion. Watch this fresh new series which shines along with Kim Cattrall.

This is only a review of episode 1, and subject to change as it goes on.

It starts out very weak and boring but gets interesting by the start of act 2. Act 3 is where it starts to get pretty good so I look forward to seeing more. I hadn't seen the original New Zealand one but it's nice to put more live action shows to watch on my list. The Ginger character is already one I'm excited to see more of. I like how this show has an emphasis on female representation. Even as a male, we need more of that. I look forward to watching all 10 episodes.

6.5/10 rounded up to 7 for the poll.

Episodes 2-3 are also on Hulu right now as part of a promotion between Fox, Hulu, and Blue Moon.

Look if you take this show seriously then yeah you are not going to like it. Stop making every show so award worthy. Sometimes silly and dumb and mindless can be fun. It is over the top dramatic and Kim is pure diva. It makes fun of those crazy televangelist and the ridiculous money and wealth they make off of religion. Those who do not like it probably hate seeing that. Don't like it then don't watch it.

Loved it and loved seeing Kim in this role. She definitely has the chops to carry a show. So sorry it got cancelled :( wish someone would start a petition so somewhere like Netflix could pick it up for another season.

This is not Masterpiece Theatre, it is cheap tawdry fun with great satire and a great cast, plenty eye candy and the writers have hit their groove.

Move ovet Tammy Faye Baker, here comes Margaret Montreax, Queen Gator of the Evangelical Swamp!
