Dirt: TV Worth Watching

Saw the season premiere of Dirt last night. It was damn good. I've seen bits and pieces of the first season and thoroughly enjoyed it. The second season looks just as good, if not better.

What am I talking about, you ask? Dirt is about the Hollywood gossip machine, pitting tabloid journalists (can we call them that?) and the celebrities they cover. If there is one thing this remarkable series makes abundantly clear is that there is a symbiosis between the two-- one simply cannot live without the other, like parasites. In this case, who is the parasite in this relationship depends on whom you ask.

It's a sick, twisted relationship that Dirt delivers with style. It's well written, well acted, and well made. Buy the first season at Amazon, or rent it through Netflix.
