It was unlikely that I would like The Playboy Club (hence the unforgivably late review). Not only is it so far from being a hit that it's already facing cancellation rumours (though NBC swears they're being patient this year), generally speaking female-driven stories aren't my thing, certainly not corset-clad female-driven stories. But armed with seriously low expectations and almost no foreknowledge of the series, I kind of really liked The Playboy Club.
The show kicks off with the accidental murder of a mob boss- Oh, uh...well, I did not see that coming. Okay, it actually starts off with an attempted assault and our little ingenue kicking some "standing up for herself" butt, which results in the accidental murder of a mob boss. There's the revelation of his identity, a threat against her life, a quick-thinking cover up and we're off to the races.
