Dirty Sexy Money

This episode fails to inspire. Too many meaningless subplots overload the pace of the show, slowing it down to a crawl - for too much of the time.



The actual main plotthread, which is Nick meeting up with is money stands head and shoulders above the rest. It has a little intrigue and a decent amount of emotional drama. Enough that I found myself caring about what was happening. Something I didn't have with most of the other sub-plots.



I also found the continuation of Brian's fall from grace and his battle to regain his son enjoyable, but thats because I find his character the most interesting after Tripp and Nicks. Lucy Liu' character also brings another element of true b*tchiness to proceedings, but at a cost to rather subdued scenes between Simon and Karen. So I was in too minds about her introduction. I'm hoping that all return to the b*tchiness of the previous season and spark up the verbal conflicts alot more than in this episode.



The battle for Tripp Jr, allegiance to Tripp Sr continues, but was rather disappointing. After promising so much towards the end of the last season, this has fallen flat. Fingerscrossed this picks up in the following episodes.



Other than those things, this episode just didnt produce the goods and contained too few novel scenes and plot devices, to be considered little more than a filler episode. It was still entertaining to watch. But there have been so many more better episodes.



Still I will be watching next week.

Glenn Fitzgerald continues to give amazing performances week after week here on Dirty Sexy Money. In Season 1 he gave you laughs and actually had me crying when he was forced to give away Brian Jr. He's just as good as ever thus far this season.



This episode had some good moments but I really did not like the portrayal of Nick's mother. Just a horrible actress with a weird voice and just came off as very forced and unnecessary for the show.



This was still a fine example but if Dirty Sexy Money wants to see a third season it's going to have to be better than this.

It was a little slow then the rest of the seasons episodes have been, but I did enjoy it from the beginning to the end. Nick going to see his mother is one example of why I love this show: two birds with one stone. We get a little bit of character devolopment from Nick meeting his mother after over 30 years and we get an advancement in a plotline. Two actually. The first being the murder trial which Nick tells his Mom to back off about and the second being the growing distance between Lisa and Nick about things that he will run off and do in the name of the Darlings but won't do for his own family. I give it about two more episodes before Nick loses Lisa and Kiki entirely. The worst part of the epsiode I thought was the Senate Debate and the resurrgence of Carmalita. I don't really like that aspect of the storyline as well, the only part Im interested in is why Tripp wants Patrick to win so bad. Simons endgame needs to be epic with all the build up, and who is he talking to on the phone? That also needs to be really good. Karen and Lisa's scene was without question the best part of the episode for me, a very real moment there.
