This episode was much better then the first. It has taken the ideas of the first episode and expanded on them. It seems clear that the family lawyer is going to become one of the Darlings. He becomes more entangled in there webs of crime and deceit. He knows they do immoral things but seeing them from the inside it doesn't look that bad. I'm not entirely sure where Trip is going with this storyline. It seems like he is not happy with is own family and wants to start a new one. It was a very good episode and I can't wait to catch the next one. It was a clear reminder why I liked the series in the first place.moreless

The Darlings are having a photo shoot in this episode for Patrick's campaign and Nick is in charge of "setting the tone." Well, there are a lot of different things that go wrong in this episode. First, Karen's boyfriend can't be in the picture but she hadn't told him. Second, the female twin refused to go to the shoot. Third, Patrick wanted to quit the senate race. Well, in the end, Nick fixed everything. He also figured out more information at the murder of his father. Overall, the story was ok in this episode, but it had great character developments for every character on the show.moreless

This episode is purely more setup for the forthcoming meaty ones. The main setpiece of conflict is the photo-shoot that the family must attend.

My favourite so far is the priests lack of acceptance for his out-of-wedlock son. The blaise way he treats him is sad but hilarious at the same time. The other members of the family also have clearly defined which as you expect from episode 2 are being developed. Already you can associate each family member with one facet of character and can expect them to bear down on our protaganist With the main storyline being fed to us piecemeal viewers should expect the drama to develop as in a standard drama of high quality. This show looks like its going to be as well produced as I hoped it would be.

Fingerscrossed they keep up the quality and drama.moreless

Lives up to the pilot all considered. This show doesn't really have a direction. Of course.. Nick investigating is something. But it just feels like a weak sideplot only to have Nick and Tripp have alot of scenes together.

I like the whole idea of showing how rich people live. Though some character could use some more depth, I don't have a problem with neither. Maybe Nick's wife.. she seems a bit too clich. And she's not even rich.

Anyway, this show blends comedy with mild drama very well. It's not as spectacular as in Rescue Me or House, because there's very little room for drama here, as once again, this show is a modern day soap opera - on steroids and amazing production values.

Speaking of which, during the photoshoot scenes I realized how great the sets are. The acting's phenomenal, especially by Krause and Sutherland. The closing scene is very powerful too. This episode had a little of everything, and didn't have anything bad or wrong, it just didn't stand out to be more than a 8.0/10 - which is great anyway.moreless
