I have only watched the pilot to date- I am going to watch the second episode tonight. I give this show a 10 out of 10 for it's production value. However, the story is admittedly less than masterful, led by a mix of characters that so far feel relatively underdeveloped. However, it's only the pilot episode! It took me at least 4-6 episodes to fully become a loyal fan of "Mad Men." Furthermore, this show is first and foremost supposed to be a fluffy good time. I applaud this show for having as much sex appeal as it does on broadcast TV. Because, s show is this sexy does not mean people should be extra critical of it. The pilot offers some fine moments. I was intrigued at the dorm-like community of the playboy mansion. One can only hope this show introduces new tidbits down the road. One priceless scene involves Amber Heard joining a group of the bunnies dancing in the club. The joy on their faces and their moves filled me with some joy.Bottom line: if you dig sex appeal, if you appreciate cinematic production values, if you like the vicarious venture into a dramatized Playboy Club (the closest to the real thing most people will get), and like the vicarious company of the bunnies and/or the playboys themselves- this show is for you!

When I started watching The Playboy Club I wasn't very hopeful... I was expecting a dodgy half baked drama with girls running around topless... I found the pilot plot Interesting, maybe a tad cliché, but it is a pilot after all! You can't expect miracles. Admittedly the dialogue was a little rough and amateurish but it feels like it's heading in some interesting directions and will get better over time. Strangely the secondary story line between Alice and her husband seems far more interesting to me. As for the comparisons to Mad Men I don't think they are in any way fair. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Personally, I think it's much more interesting than half of the television shows some channels are pumping out. Definitely worth watching for the first few episodes to see where it goes.

I honestly loved it. I love Amber Heard, the main girl. She's one of my favorite up and coming actresses. I thought Eddie Cibrian was amazing too. David Krumhotlz portrayed the uptight jerk of a manager pretty well. There was a murder (accidental)before the first commercial break! There's a lot of drama. I think it's definitely more geared to women surprisingly. I don't think my husband would like it. It's mostly the life of the bunnies, which would appeal more to women. I don't know. I don't think you should watch it or not watch it based on someone else's review. If you want to watch, watch it and find out for yourself if it's your kind of show.

High expectations with little delivered. This series wants to re-write history and have us all believe that things actually might have happened the way it has been portrayed. I was too young to have gone to an actual Playboy, but I'm old enough to remember them and the mystique involved with being a member. This series would have you believe that patrons could not only dance and mingle with bunnies, but that it was simple for a patron to gain access to "employee only" areas without being thrown out. The whole concept of the Playboy club was a "Look, but don't Touch" mentality that the management took quite seriously. Bunnies were not only forbidden to date key-holders, but a perceived violation of the fraternization policies could get one fired quickly.I don't think I'm giving anything away when I mention that there is a high profile murder in the pilot. The details surrounding this are ludicrous and contrived. To suggest that a Mob boss would put himself in a position to be possibly exposed to arrest and jail time for a sexual assault in a popular and crowded nightclub is insane. It's sloppy writing and it's lazy.The retro musical numbers were good, and if they are representative of what we can come to expect, there might be hope for this show. Overall however, I'm just being asked to suspend a little too much disbelief to be able to give this show a thumbs up.
