An absolute waste of money

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Wow, an excellent cast and an original, gritty hardcore plot...kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Up there with Dexter and Breaking Bad. Very upset that it was canceled. Courtney Cox was great and her side-kick photographer is brilliant. The special effects and the way they present the story is unique and very well done. Great, great acting! Good job Courtney! Why on earth would something like this be taken off the air. One of the best shows I have seen in a long time. I was not going to watch it as the cover was pretty lame, but what lay inside the watch it now on Netflix was a treasure. They should bring something like this back or something similar to it. It uncovers the world we live in today and the lengths we will go to to expose people and their private lives.

Great subject, done by the wrong hands. The tabloid journalism is such an interesting subject to expose a lot of what the shiny Hollywood lives of contradictions, rather the human being in front of the shiny Hollywood. Selecting the character of the editor in chief who's materialistic to the bone, though deprived of real love, to be the lead was super. The character of the psychologically sick photographer who lives tortured by his conscience for all the crimes he did towards people in pain was so original, being the cornerstone of this show's beauty, or should I say theoretical beauty. Because according to what I watched this, as a whole, is so ugly work.Despite all the efforts that (Courteney Cox) did to make her character work, they were wasted by her faceless face. I don't know what is the real reason, but she got in here NO features to be used in acting. Is it too much botox ?, or is it too many plastic surgeries ? (Now this is something to be traced in the actual tabloid magazines !). Whatever the case may be I know that her face was too plastic to express emotions ! Then, the tragedy of (Josh Stewart) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can I say AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ! He can act as the same as I can speak Sanskrit ! OH MY GOD ?! How he was cast ? It is a mystery for the ages. This walking ghost of a guy couldn't be appropriate lead, someone to react to, or something to watch anyway. Actually any dead corpse could do the role better than him! And he was supposed to be something like a gone-wrong version of Brad Pitt?? The guy doesn't have the looks to be even Sho'nuff (from The Last Dragon). Sure Sho'nuff is more charismatic and talented ! In a word he looked exactly like "true" loser actor who's on "true" drugs; getting not sympathy from us, rather true TEDIUM and HATE ! So, as you see, I was watching a freak show of a show that deserves to be named (the plastic face & the sleepy zombie) !I know nothing about the allegation around the show as (dark comedy)?? It's maybe dark, but comedy?? Never. It wasn't that good to produce that mix. It wanted though, but didn't succeed. The scripts were little promising, because most of the time was devoted for showing, and many times showing off, the real dirt. I mean how many times the term "doing up the butt" was used ?? And in some episodes that was profuse and free (the right word is exploitative !). They didn't come up with fine ideas to turn this dirt, whatever it was, into hot drama, attractive issues, or smart moral choices. It was dirt for dirt. Well, disgusting dirt too. So, in a way, this show was sick of the disease it was warning of !Now, let me talk about what's dirtier than dirt itself : the directing ! The episodes got some of the worst directing I have seen in years. There is not one point of singularity. I couldn't respect any of this show's time. All the scenes looked the same. The colors of the image are one all along, despite the difference of the drama (if there was any!). Simply the artistic personality of it was too damn poor. There is a tasteless feel all over it. And the mark of bad direction isn't clearer when you have mostly bad acting. Except a few good matters, like the performance of (Ian Hart) as (Don), this show was filled up with repulsive events that were treated in repulsive way too; and that's the main problem which made watching (Dirt) one provocative experience just about every time. Sorrow is what I feel with its promising, so not achieved, material.

Dirt is a well written,perfectly cast,just all around perfect show.When I found out Courteney Cox was in it,I had to watch it.I'm in love with Josh Stewart.The show is sexy,sleezy,so good.I was only disappointed with the kiss.It wasn't what it was made out to be.When Jennifer Aniston touched Courteney Cox's butt I was on the floor.As for the cast: Courteney Cox is awesome.She plays her role with integrity and toattly focused on her role.Josh Stewart is HOTTTTT!!!I fell in love with him.He's an awesome actor.Ian Hart is brilliant.no other actor could do what he does.and last,Laura Allen is a great actress,but I can' stand her character.All and all,I love it.If you want something fun and sexy to watch,watch this.

I originally started to watch this show just because I really like Courtney Cox. She really is a great selling point, however I really think that this show has depth. It's interesting that the show looks into so many different parts of the show business life, whether this is a true look at this life or not... She (obviously) plays a much different character than Monica Geller, however her character is interesting. (Although she doesn't really fit the name "Lucy".) I encourage all who are curious to check out this show. I gave it a 7 of 10 because I'm not really grabbed by any of the other characters yet, but I have faith that they will be developed. I'm hoping that they develop the characters further and try to find a good divide between "cheesy" and good acting.(Just in case any one is curious you can check out the first episode and all of the fore coming ones for $1.99 at Amazon.com)
