slow start but plot picks up
17 January 2017
Christine Reade (Riley Keough) is a Chicago law student who gets an internship at the law firm of Kirkland & Allen. His ambitious boss David Tellis is competing against Erin Roberts for a promotion. Christine's school friend Avery introduces her to Jacqueline who facilitates high paying sex dates. She faces obsessed clients and the threat of being revealed, calling herself Chelsea Rayne.

Riley Keough delivers a mostly monotone performance with one particular exception. I'm willing to put it down to the character and the facade her character puts up. The show is almost entirely in that quiet monotone. Honestly, I ended up listening to podcasts while watching the show with the subtitles on. It's a rather slow start. It's good that the episodes are only thirty minutes long. The first few episodes can be quickly burned through as the plot picks up. And the plot really picks up. The first season runs through a lot of plot. The most compelling is the inheritance storyline. It goes through so much plot that sometimes it's rushing. This show has some potential but I won't be sticking around for season two.
