Gabriel Byrne's Male "Sex and the City" Trashed
Ron Turner
Movie idol Gabriel Byrne's new sitcom, "Madigan Men" (2000) has been given the
thumbs-down by critics. A pilot of the new show - allegedly a male version of
"Sex and the City" (1998) and penned by the same author - has been panned by
reviewers. The New York Times reviewer says, "The only door likely to be opened
by this show is the one marked 'Exit'. It focuses more on father-son angst and
Irish proverbs than giving women tips on the male psyche." Media Week describes
the show, which is being given a prime time Friday night slot, as "the second
worst schedule move" of the autumn. Byrne plays divorcee Ben Madigan, who lives
with his teenage son and grey-haired father.
