Dirt

Watched this again recently and it still holds up very well, especially the first season, not so much the second. I was never a fan of Courteney Cox but she's perfect in this role as a ruthless magazine editor, very charismatic and beautiful too, as is Laura Allen as the conflicted and compromised star.

What saves it from being just a guilty pleasure is the stylish directing, often witty writing, and the production's overall willingness to take risks -- a schizophrenic photographer as a main character is one of many such risks that pays off.
