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.

I downloaded the first 2 episodes  but haven't watched them yet. Is the show good?

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.

Through 4 episodes and it's really starting to get good. Loving this show so far.
