The critics have been impressed with this particular episode of the "gloriously addictive" glitzy US drama import about Manhattan's super-rich.
Although the series remains fairly unbelievable, there's a lot of "emotional oomph" tonight when lawyer Nick George (Peter Krause) learns more about his dead father Dutch (Peter Strauss, pictured left). This involves a "corny" storyline about a watch, passed down the generations. There are revelations about Dutch's long-running affair with Darling matriach Letitia (Jill Clayburgh, pictured, right), which has a bearing on Nick and Tripp Darling (Donald Sutherland).
Elsewhere sparks fly between Simon and Karen, and Brian is arrested for trying to bribe the authorities into awarding him custody of his son.
