Privileged

The dialogue is witty, the pacing is brisk and there’s some real heart amid all the tokens of the Palm Beach high life.

Great it’s not, but the fizzy mix of soapy elements, screwy comedy, high-society hijinks and romance dovetails with where the netlet has been heading programming-wise.

So while the plot points might be as far-fetched, the emotions aren't.

Garcia is a major-league cutie and sunny on-screen presence without being cloying. But enough with the filthy-rich-kid dramedies!

But aside from Garcia, Archer and Louis (who does a colorful turn as the chef), there's too much sizzle here and too little steak.

Alas, like most copies, Privileged is a second-rate imitation.

JoAnna Garcia's overcaffeinated cuteness--the sort of thing that made otherwise decent people want to run Sally Field through with a pitchfork back in her Gidget and Flying Nun days--as a Palm Beach governess to trust-fund teen trash is nigh unbearable.
