Featured review
I don't like shows full of fake pretty Hollywood actors. This series has beautiful women and men, maybe not in the fake Hollywood standards, which gives it so much more realness. The characters are complex in their different personalities without going overboard in their acting.
Though the show is about prostitues, there isn't an over-abundance of sex. It shows that sex is not the only thing that defines these women.
The story line is captivating, with intrigue and gossip, but it's not frivolous and hits on serious topics like race, sexuality, religion and motherhood.
I hope they continue this series.
