YouShouldKnow
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.
