When I started watching The Playboy Club I wasn't very hopeful... I was expecting a dodgy half baked drama with girls running around topless... I found the pilot plot Interesting, maybe a tad cliché, but it is a pilot after all! You can't expect miracles.
Admittedly the dialogue was a little rough and amateurish but it feels like it's heading in some interesting directions and will get better over time. Strangely the secondary story line between Alice and her husband seems far more interesting to me.
As for the comparisons to Mad Men I don't think they are in any way fair. It's like comparing apples and oranges.
Personally, I think it's much more interesting than half of the television shows some channels are pumping out.
Definitely worth watching for the first few episodes to see where it goes.
