I just read that there's a TV show about us. Has anyone seen it?

I also seem to remember  a TV  series about providers a few years ago, and it was so BORING. Problem is writers who attempt this, interview a few ladies and hobbyists, but truly to not know squat.

Over hyped and unimaginative. The bar is so low for media that touches on the interpersonal dynamics between clients and sex workers that the very fact that there is a show, even if it is mediocre, is seemingly cause for celebration. The fact that the show's creators think the original Soderbergh movie was "underrated" says so much. I think the movie deserved the sub par ratings it received for being nothing more than Soderbergh's flimsy vision and an uber-famous, pretty porn star (Sasha Grey) delivering a dry performance of a full service sex worker.

The NY Times has a good review. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/08/arts/television/the-girlfriend-experience-review.html

I didn't think it was very good.  Steven Soderbergh has his name attached to this, but he's not really involved. He made an art house film in 2009 called The Girlfriend Experience, starring porn star Sasha Grey. The movie was boring, amateurish, and Sasha Grey is a terrible actress. This is not much better. These girls are sour pusses. No charm, no personality. Definitely not GFE girls.

If you want to see something that really nails the hobby, check out "Secret Diary of a Call Girl" from England. This could be a how to guide to any newbies. It's mostly played for laughs, but there are some serious moments too. They even had an episode about bad reviews. "Like restaurants and movies, escorts live and die on their reviews.

Is that series. It was stupid and just overexagerrated, sadly.

Was on Showtime and starred British actors. Yes, this was the best of the lot. The new GFE show is pretty lame.
