It was exactly like all previous Daren Starr shows, only it took place in The traders world. It made me think about Central Park West, Ally McBeal, Sex and the City, Titans. Or more recently Las Vegas, North Shore, and Suits even. With the difference that it centered around male characters. The pilot episode was filled with that time usual sarcasm and offbeat humor. They even got that popular TV actress (aka Jennie Garth) to play the bad girl that would shake things up, and give the ratings the bump it needed. But like most shows that tried that, after the success it brought to Melrose Place. It backfired, and the show got cancelled after only eleven episodes aired... And I get why it was, trashy soaps were not « hip » anymore. But in the meantime, I'm sure it had potential to be one of those shows that got better after a certain amount of episodes. Not sure if they could or should, revive it...
