I’m not sure how I would feel about the show if it was just straight-up 100% fiction. Obviously a large portion of the show is fiction and it’s not an exact replica of ~the real Belle’s~ life, but there is definitely something about the inspired-by-true-events tag that makes something more interesting and in a way more acceptable.
#SECRET DIARY OF A CALL GIRL SCENE CRACKED#
This scene – and the women in the previous shot talking about how it’s probably written by a man – cracked me up, but I thought it raised an interesting point. There were some seriously questionable hair and makeup decisions going on in s2. Even discounting the hilarious wardrobing choices that were made in s2 to cover up Billie's pregnancy, I thought she looked way better in s3. I know she was supposed to sort of irritate me because I am supposed to be sympathizing with Hannah and she annoys Hannah, but jesus. Consider me amused by the revenge, though. I disliked Duncan pretty instantaneously, so I was not particularly surprised by the revelation that he's a bit of a creep. It was like "yeah yeah obviously you'll break up because a) there's another season, she's not going to retire and b) the show wants me to ship Hannah/Ben". But because of the obvious OTPness, even regardless of whether or not I shipped it myself, I found Hannah/Alex and Hannah/Duncan really tiresome. I mean, they've made Hannah/Ben the obvious OTP and with s4 being the final season I'm guessing they stand more of a chance. Did I miss mention of her moving? Is it supposed to be the same place only hugely redecorated? I liked Hannah's old apartment more than the s3 apartment. I c u, Apple advertising, with your MacBooks and your iPhones. Belle/Hannah is so likeable and funny and charming. Everyone said I would, but it still surprised me a bit - but then it seems like that is the general consensus on my flist so who even knows. If you have come this far, you will too.I enjoyed this show a lot. What it really has which those don't, is the acting ability. Be warned that there is male rear view nudity in one scene, some of you are really gonna freak out All in all, plays like a fairly cautious soft- core movie, but one with charm, attitude, real smarts, and a very likable heroine. It's all implied, there is considerable camera angle work that obscures nudity. By the way, to the prudes, there is no visible female nudity in this, nothing beyond shoulders, feet, legs, etc. I would advise anybody to watch/rent/buy whatever. Film nerdy comment: The part of the pimp madam is s-o-o obviously inspired by Jacqueline Bisset as James in NIP/TUCK.

The film stock is just not comparable to prime- time US TV, it should have had the bright sharpness of MELROSE PLACE and CALIFORNICATION. I'm sure even if I paid a wagon-load, I'd not get this kind of beauty. One thing for sure, I don't think ladies for hire look like this, not even at the highest end. To American audiences, I'd simply say, "think a hotter version of Denise Richards, add to it that she can make you laugh". That is what RavenGlamDVDCollector calls 'a very pretty girl'.

What utter tripe! Look at the picture here on this page for episode 1. To anybody following the discussions on the main IMDb site, that bit about Billie Piper being ugly.

Finally got around to watching Season 1 in weekly installments starting today. Acting, yeah, likable, hell, yes! When I first heard about this, October last year, I downloaded two snippets on VuClip, and I posted a request on the board posts for more information, and was assured that I would find it classy. If you want porn, don't bother with this.
