I can save the article and write here YES! It may not be as stylish and probably not as historically correct as Mad Men but for me its a lot more enjoyable.
I don't know if this show will work as a full 22 episode season or if it should be more of a mini series because the story line of the mob murder doesn't feel like it can play out for long, nor can the presence of a young Mr Hugh Heffner, but I gotta feeling I will be gripped for however long its on for. This is the 2nd of two network shows this season to be focusing on a workplace in the 60's, ABC are looking at the air hostesses of Pan Am and I am looking forward to trying out that but this was the one i was expecting to dislike and I am pleasantly surprised.
The bunnies all have their own story lines we only got to really delve into Maureen's (Amber Heard) in the pilot, who I presume to be the main character along with Nick Dalton (Eddie Cibrian). Maureen is the new bunny and whilst dancing a man gets a little bit too handsy with her, he then later follows her into the back and after a struggle which Nick walks into and tried to help him off her she end up stabbing him in the neck with her shoe, by accident. Nick informs her that this is no ordinary business man and that he is in fact a big mob boss so they must cover it up. We later find out that Nick is in fact one of his protégées who has built himself up into well the future state attorney. Anywyas nick helps Maureen dispose of the body and the rest of the episode is then denying they know what has happened to this guy and making out they went home together, which i can see is probably going to happen with these two.
Other bunnies stories we really got to start looking at, and I have a feeling will probably end up being more interesting than the main two, are Carol-Lynne (Laura Benanti) who is the oldest bunny working in the club but by the end of the episode goes above the club managers head to The Heff himself to become the 'Bunny Mother', another name for the manager of the ladies. And then there is Alice (Leah Renee) who throughout the whole episode we know is married and her husband, who comes and gets her after work but they are in trouble with the law and kind of in hiding. We find out at the end of the episode that she is in fact a lesbian and he is gay and they are part of a secret society. Still not sure what they are raising their money for though.
I'm excited to see where all these stories go but at the same time I am loving the 60's references and in the pilot episode we had Tina Turner (not the real one) making an appearance in the club as the the band that night, which of course make it even more awesome. I also kinda wish I had been around to go party at the playboy club it looks like fun.
Check out next weeks promo below, which seems to give away even more of the other bunnies stories, oh i am excited:
