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.

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.

"Filthy Rich" (S01, 10eps, 1hr, Fox) was a surprisingly irreverent look at Big Religion and now you know why it was cancelled; it would've gotten two seasons at least at Netflix or Amazon. In fact, actor Aaron Lazar's character immediately recalls Joel Osteen. However, it ended at a good point. Many dramas get worse as time goes on, season after season, so I'm happy that its only season was hard-hitting and really entertaining.

First, to all the people who are commenting on "what did Kim Cattrall do to her face?" Nothing, from what I can tell. However, in multiple scenes with close-ups, her face has been CGI air-brushed. They have made her look like Jeff Bridges in the new Tron or Kurt Russell in Guardians of the Galaxy 2. But she didn't do it to herself. They have some *bad* CGI effects on this show, from the house burning down in the opening sequence to the jet engine on fire to, yes, Kim Cattrall's face. I'm hoping these bad CGI effects are only in the pilot, but we shall see.

Second, this is at least the 3rd show with the same title. This one is directly adapted from the recent New Zealand show, but there was a sitcom in the 80s with a similar theme starring Dixie Carter. I have a vague recollection of that from my childhood.

I find this show to be fluffy & light, and sometimes, that's all I need from a show. I have a lot of serious shows that I watch, and sometimes I just really want to watch something that doesn't take a lot of effort but makes me smile. Jury is still out, but I enjoyed the pilot.

I watched 3 episodes and it was too boring. I don't see this show getting picked up.
