Easy Money is a television drama series that aired on The CW from 2008 to 2009. The show stars Laurie Metcalf, Jeff Hephner, Jay R. Ferguson, Katie Lowes, Marsha Thomason, and Nick Searcy. The series revolves around the family of the Darlings, who run the largest payday lending operation in the country.

The Darlingsâ company, Prestige Payday Loans, targets those who are struggling to make ends meet and offers them short-term loans with exorbitant interest rates. While the payday lending business is profitable for the Darlings, it is also fraught with controversy and unethical practices.

Throughout the series, the Darlings must navigate financial and personal challenges that threaten to tear their family apart. Metcalf plays the family matriarch, Eileen Darling, who is determined to keep the business afloat despite mounting pressure from regulators, debt collectors, and angry clients.

Hephner stars as Eileenâs son, Morgan, who is the brain behind Prestige Payday Loansâ operations. Morgan is a savvy businessman, but he also struggles with addiction and marital problems. Ferguson plays Morganâs younger brother, Cooper, who is the familyâs black sheep. Cooper is a recovering drug addict who is trying to turn his life around and prove himself to his family.

Lowes plays Julia Miller, a former journalist who joins Prestige Payday Loans as a public relations specialist. Julia is savvy, ambitious, and determined to help the company improve its public image. However, she also is hiding a personal secret that could threaten her career.

Thomason stars as A.J. Butterfield, a private investigator who is hired by a rival payday lender to take down the Darlings. A.J. is smart and resourceful, and she uses her skills to dig up dirt on Prestige Payday Loans and its owners. However, A.J. also has a complicated past that makes her vulnerable to legal and emotional challenges.

Searcy plays Roy, a debt collector who hounds Prestige Payday Loansâ clients and helps the Darlings recover their money. Roy is gruff and unapologetic, but he also has a soft spot for the Darlings and their difficult situation.

In addition to exploring the Darlingsâ business and personal challenges, Easy Money also delves into broader themes of financial inequality, greed, and corruption. The show raises thought-provoking questions about the morality of payday lending and the consequences of exploiting vulnerable populations.

Overall, Easy Money is a compelling drama series that offers nuanced performances and timely social commentary. The showâs mix of family drama, financial intrigue, and social issues makes it an entertaining and thought-provoking watch.

Easy Money is a series that ran for 1 seasons (26 episodes) between October 5, 2008 and on The CW
