    A truly captivating Series with twists and turns in the plot at every turn. The lives of the prostitutes and their clients are both brutal and tragic. There are glimmers of empathy amongst some of the jailed prostitutes, but generally it's a double edged sword. Lascivious and full to the brim, the photography is rich and generous to a fault.
