I finally finished watching the season 2 finale of this last night. It had been half-finished for some time.
When I first started to watch, this would have been unthinkable because it was so well-written but, a season later, I am not totally surprised that it became one of the more high-profile victims of the Writers’ Guild action last year. Many promising shows were cancelled as a result of the hiatus that occurred with no scripts being produced. Dirty Sexy Money started really well, with a good plotline and the excellent Peter Krause (previously from Six Feet Under), supported by Donald Sutherland, Blair Underwood and some other lesser known cast members. It provided me with quite a few TV Bon Mots, but it gradually deteriorated in terms of fanciful plotlines. Whether this was the result or the cause of the decision to axe it, is unclear.
I remember when Chris Moyles announced on his radio show that Dirty Sexy Money had been cancelled. He was half-way through watching the first season on dvd and I was awaiting the start of the second on terrestrial television. I agreed with him how disappointing it was because it is so infuriating to find out that a story you are enjoying is going to be incomplete. You just know that the finale will end on a cliffhanger that you are never going to resolve.
Very frustrating.
It’s not worth buying as a boxset to keep forever but the first series is definitely worth watching via rental.
