RIP_Cabrini_Green Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Inspired by Steven Soderbergh's same-named 2009 film, Starz's 13-episode "The Girlfriend Experience" further develops the original premise of a young attorney in training who leads a double life as a high-end sex worker. Riley Keough takes on the lead role of Christine Reade (played in the movie by Sasha Grey), a law student in Chicago and an intern at one of the city's top firms. A friend introduces her to the world of "transactional relationships," in which a greater level of intimacy and control sets it apart from traditional escort arrangements. Captivated by its varied benefits, Christine must learn to manipulate her conflicting identities in order to get what she wants. 7.4/10 - IMDB 84% - Rotten Tomatoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkCouture Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I downloaded the first 2 episodes but haven't watched them yet. Is the show good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP_Cabrini_Green Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 I watched the first two and I found it interesting. I've thought about downloading the rest of the episodes on my laptop but I think I may take it week by week. I really like the main characters' (Riley Keough) dynamic. So I'm for sure hooked and going to keep going with it. I know it's kind of based off of the movie with the same name, but I haven't seen that movie so hopefully there's no crossover info that I'm missing. I doubt there would be.
