    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OK. Just finished season three. Not good. It was not good at all. Not even sexy. That’s right. Despite there being plenty of nudity and sex, it wasn’t sexy. It was sterile. Just like the story. So her father has early onset Alzheimer’s, and to honor him she becomes a slut? Works at a tech company by day yet, is a prostitute at night? And hopes to merge the two? I couldn’t buy her character either. Someone this bright and smart is gonna bang and plow tons of strangers? What a dumb concept!… Expand

    The Girlfriend Experience is an efficient and confident affair, with little excess fat found on any of its half-hour episodes. ... As Iris, Telles strikes an unnerving balance between formidable intellectual and conniving predator. ... Like the show itself, there are layers to Iris that are difficult to pin down, but fascinating to ponder.

    This season of The Girlfriend Experience contains some promising ideas, even though it retreads some familiar ground and the gendered implications of Iris’ double life go largely unacknowledged.

    This year’s story may be its most ambitious, even if it sometimes succumbs to overwriting and pretentious filmmaking choices in early episodes just before building up steam at the point Starz decided to stop sending episodes (so I can’t say how successfully it connects its many ideas). Having said that, it’s never boring, even if I’m not sure yet if I buy all of what it’s selling.
