I Never Bought any of It, 23 October 2008
5/10
Author: Hitchcoc from United States

I know the acting was OK, but in the worst soap opera way. These rich obnoxious people play and pretend. The husband in the episode, runs around with some idiot blonde and his wife accepts that this is the way it is. There is no sparring; she is totally fine with this. Along comes some dippy prince, who starts putting moves on her. She isn't that bad looking, but she isn't exactly princess material. Of course, there is something going on. The byplay continues and it eventually ends in a boring, predictable way. I never was able to care about these people. They were smug asses who treated each other with disdain. Anyway, I wouldn't bother with this one, even if it was a little out of the Hitchcock milieu.
