    If you want some cheap soft porn excitement then this is for you, but if you want a dull boring plot with the acts phoning it in then this is the one that will deliver it to you!

    At the end of this show my only response was "So what?" Superficially entertaining, but I was hoping that all the dreariness would lead up to something. It doesn't. No insights, nothing to say. An utterly pointless show.

    The show is provocative, sexually and mentally; it’s alluring and sordid, arousing and disturbing, a unique viewing experience.

    The characters are so vapid and thinly drawn that they glide like silhouettes through the minimalist stylings of a series crafted without affect.

    Her initial escapades feel overwhelmingly dour, a byproduct of stilted, emotionless dialogue. Keough plays her role with an almost impenetrable detachment that frustrates at first, but feels necessary in retrospect. ... Things start to get more interesting when Christine learns that one of her wealthy clients has kicked the bucket and left her a large sum of money, setting off alarm bells for the client’s family.
