Here's a quote from producer Steven Soderbergh in the NY Times:  "I want to make a show about a girl who ends up an escort who’s not a victim, who’s intelligent and has a lot going for her."

 I was glad to read the quote above.   Hollywood usually depicts P4P in the most idiotic way.  The original film was a disappointment (Sasha Grey was better than the script).  Soderbergh's film had a gritty realism, but I'm hoping the series will provide a little more depth to the main character.  In the film, Chelsea was a bit of an enigma.  The reporter writing a magazine piece on Chelsea came across as a frustrated john.  Instead of revealing something about Chelsea, the reporter exposes himself as a sad, lonely man.  Maybe that was the point of the film (along with rapacious consumerism).  But the most interesting character in the film remained aloof & detached from everyone around her.    --
