There's not much Dynasty-style camp here, just a great cast and sardonic writing by creator Mike White (Chuck and Buck). Judging by the polished pilot (directed by Diane Keaton) and the weirder, eerier and funnier follow-up, this is the best take on the creepy rich since Fox's short-lived Profit (1996). Pasadena may offer few Champagne wishes and caviar dreams, but it addictively retells one of the oldest stories in the world: your family is the strangest mystery you will ever unravel.
