{television} dirt; season one (2007)

Courteney Cox stars as Lucy Spiller, an ambitious editor of two high-profile celebrity gossip magazines. Helped by her schizophrenic photographer (Ian Hart), she does her best to walk the fine line between ruthless scheming (blackmail) and journalistic integrity (she will publish only the truth). This provocative satire of the cult of celebrity and our insatiable appetite for Hollywood gossip also features Will McCormack and ex-NBA star Rick Fox.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: **** (Actually 3.5) This show was all over the place at first and I couldn't get any kind of traction with it and was worried it would lose me all together, but by the third episode I was hooked. A really bad pilot, I mean like why was this greenlighted bad, but the rest of it is pretty solid. Not a must-see hit, but it has potential to become one. Courtney Cox is so good in the bitch role. And Grant Show as a gay man is worth the price of admission! And it was great to see Pee-Wee Herman again! Also, Johann Urb is soooo freaking hot.
