But in the right manicured hands, they never get old.
Three episodes screened for review. In these sad and lonely times, it provides cultural enrichment, vital information (only some of which arrives distorted beyond recognition by cable-news spin), an all-important sense of connection to the world outside our respective quarantine bubbles.
Although Cattrall is a more versatile actor than most American viewers know—she was excellent in a more naturalistic role in the Canadian black comedy Sensitive Skin, and has anchored acclaimed shows on London’s West End—Filthy Rich plays to strengths she demonstrated in Sex and the City.
Margaret tries to put a happy face on her husband’s infidelity by citing Antonio, condescendingly, as an example of “the healing power of a blended family.”, There’s even something like substance at the core of her struggle with Ginger, whose livelihood—along with her mere existence—is a constant reminder of Eugene’s adultery. from a storyline that begins four months earlier, when things were going great for Eugene and Margaret. That's what kind of show this is.
Meanwhile, ambitious Sunshine personality Reverend Paul Luke Thomas (Aaron Lazar from Quantico) is scheming to raise his own profile at the network. Kim Cattrall slinks about as Margaret (properly pronounced "marg-uh-ret" and not the city slickin' "marg-ret" way) Monreaux, and of course we first meet her as she's walking out of a burning Southern mansion in a red sequin dress while wearing a fur saying "rot in hell" to some unknown character trapped inside. As Margaret Monreaux, the matriarch of a wealthy televangelist family in the American South, Cattrall plays both an iffy Louisiana accent and a sustained note of smooth, assured competence. A Dallas. And trust me, Filthy Rich -- one of the few "new" shows we'll be getting this fall because of coronavirus delays — is well aware of all that titillation.

It's a show in which every character has secrets, and the characters who present themselves as the most pious are the filthiest. This revelation isn’t given time to exist on its own, or to have even the artificial weight of a soap-opera twist, before the revelation of three children of his outside marriage, all of whom have the possibility to shake up the Monreauxs’ public image and the TV network they own.
In the face of upheavals that’d strain even the most even-keeled of people, Margaret simply clenches her jaw and moves forward. She makes a spectacularly campy entrance in the pilot’s flash-forward cold open, emerging in a red sequined halter dress and fur stole from a mansion engulfed in flames. So given a lead actor capable enough to handle wild material and a premise that, for its flaws, holds within it the possibility of something very clever, it’s too bad he couldn’t do more with “Filthy Rich,” a show whose first three episodes don’t prove themselves to be filthy enough for the audience or as rich as Cattrall deserves. To wit: In the pilot, Margaret is told that her husband Eugene’s plane went down and that he (Gerald McRaney) is missing. (That’s why, for instance, on HBO’s “The Righteous Gemstones,” the family is self-consciously presented as a throwback.) Filthy Rich is, to use the backhanded compliment du jour for these times, the "perfect escapist series to help you forget about the world," and it's so low stress, it requires only percentage points of your brain to enjoy.
