You guys beat me to the punch. I also enjoyed the first episode, and the gratuitous butt shot of Mr Criss... His performance is eerie, and just GAY enough to give us the flavor of the character. It seems there is more to the story than we know, and it will be interesting to see it play out, and the back story about the continuity of the company after his death. And YES, Donatella "wishes" she looked as good at Penelope Cruz, and gives a femininity to Donatella that she doesnt have in Real life.... And Ricky can just stand there and let us gaze at him. The commericials were numerous and went on for too long, but I was so into the story I didnt care.
