Starring supermodel and funny woman Rebecca Romijn in the title role, Pepper Dennis is a headstrong and dedicated news journalist who takes her work very seriously. But when she inadvertently has a one-night stand with the handsome Charli Babcock (Josh Hopkins) who she later discovers is her co-worker, she soon finds that her career and her heart begin to unravel.
It was a great show that was gone too soon. Romijn is excellent in the lead role, despite her character being cold and serious, she brings such a warmth and relatability to the role and knows just when it's time to bring the funny but also embrace the sad nuance of the character. Her on-screen chemistry is of course flawless with Hopkins, and they deservedly become the central focus.
Lindsay Price is great as hilarious best friend and makeup artist, Kimmy Kim while Brooke Burns gives a wholesome portrayal (with wonderful development) as Pepper's needy sister Kathy. Brett Cullen is a scene stealer on the show, as recurring character Jack Bell, the hilariously angry station manage.
Pepper Dennis has beautiful touching moments, with laugh out loud comedy scenes which fit perfectly together without becoming a distraction. Each episode has wonderful story development and plenty of heart.
While undeservedly short-lived, this show has a solid 13 episodes that manages to (mostly) wrap things up despite an abrupt cancellation.
