Dirt is an absolutely fantastic drama about the dark side of Hollywood. It focuses in on Lucy Spiller (Courteney Cox) the editor of Dirtnow magazine, a magazine both loved and hated by the celebrities - they hate to be found out but at the same time they need to be found out for their career.
Lucy Spiller's best friend is Don Konkey (Ian Hart) who is also the main Dirtnow photographer. A schizophrenic we often see events through his slightly tweaked point of view. Throughout the show Don has to battle with what is real and what isn't as he tries to continue to work to his optimum for Lucy.
Lucy gets her "dirt" on celebrities by telling them or concealing something to help them so that they are grateful to her. They then become her source and provide "dirt" on other celebrities. Such was the case with Holt Mclaren (Josh Stewart), a previously struggling actor who simply needed his big break. On the other hand Holt's girlfriend was Hollywood starlet Julia Mallory (Laura Allen) who then could do no wrong. Soon however Holt's life is changed dramatically as revelations are exposed and he becomes Lucy's secret insider in the world of celebrity Hollywood.
With Holt's reputation is strengthening day by day thanks to Lucy, Julia's is diminishing fast due to personal traumas she has experienced. The chemistry between Holt and Lucy also grows episode by episode as Holt begins to tire of Julia and Lucy is there able to comfort him.
Dirt is brilliantly written and although dark, is hilariously satirical. There are many (literally) explosive story lines and each episode keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. The acting is absolutely outstanding, and Cox's previous alter-ego "Monica" of "Friends" is quickly forgotten thanks to Cox's wonderfully dark and convincing performance. Ian Hart and Josh Stewart also act out of their skin and brilliantly support the show and all actors have wonderful chemistry together making this show very convincing and realistic.
A must-watch show for everyone! It is unique in its ideas and will have you hooked!
