Seasons
Season 1
Season one is the story of Christine Reade, a second year student at Chicago-Burnham Law School and a new intern at the prestigious firm of Kirkland & Allen. Working hard to establish herself at the firm, her focus quickly shifts when a classmate introduces her to the world of transactional relationships. Known as GFEs, they are women who provide The Girlfriend Experience - emotional and sexual relationships at a very high price. Juggling two very different lives, Christine quickly finds herself drawn into the GFE world, attracted to the rush of control and intimacy.
Season 2
Season two follows two parallel storylines; one centering on the complicated relationship between Erica & Anna during the corrupt political climate of midterm elections, and the other on Bria, a former GFE provider forced to start a new life in New Mexico but lured by the ghosts of her past.
Season 3
Set in the London tech scene, Season three is the story of Iris, a neuroscience major. As she begins to explore the transactional world of The Girlfriend Experience, Iris quickly learns that her client sessions provide her with a compelling edge in the tech world and vice versa. She then begins to question whether her actions are driven by free will, or something else altogether, and heads down a deep path of exploration.
User Reviews
The name and description of the show sound like the show would be a documentary. Unfortunately, it's just bad fiction with unlikable characters that seem like psycho- or sociopaths.
The show portrays escorts as soulless, emotionless, purely money-driven, calculating and heartless - like business people. It's as if they don't want viewers to empathize with women who sell their bodies. The message seems to be "they are deplorable human beings".
If you want to confirm your prejudices of escorts, this is absolutely the show for you. However, should you want something with a little more depth, move on and maybe watch an actual documentary.
