Last week, I gushed about how much I enjoyed the family and their vapid travails as the most rich and famous clan in town. But just a week later, the whole act is starting to feel tired and played out. Here’s what we had this week (that we amazingly had last week as well): Jeremy is still hooking up with the hated Natalie, much to the chagrin of his twin sister. Karen is still in love with Nick, and she follows him (current hubby in tow) all the way to Italy to crash his romantic getaway to tell him so. And, again, we end the show with a veiled Simon Elder plot twist. This time, Elder himself (Blair Underwood) makes an appearance, and sends the show out on another twist. Sigh. Didn’t we already do all of this last week? Haven’t we been doing this all year? As we watch the inept Nick George (Peter Krause) bumble his way through an investigation into his father’s death, you can’t help but want to scream at him to quit telling everyone everything. Keep some secrets for yourself, Nick! God knows everyone is keeping things from you. But yet here he is again, spilling his guts to Tripp Darling, who sends him on a wild goose chase to Italy to track down some spy who might know something about someone who might be involved with the murder. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/18/DIRTY-SEXY-MONEY----The-Chiavennasca.aspx 77 60
