The series stars Billie Piper as Hannah, a high-class escort living in London. But hey, it's not easy being a call girl. You've got to keep your profession a secret from everyone (she's known as Belle in the escort world) and live by a set of ironclad rules, the first being to keep your two identities completely separate. Yeah, you can see that this house of provocative cards is just begging to be toppled over by the slightest breeze. 'Call Girl' has a retro, Vargas Girl feel to it, but also manages to delve into the nitty-gritty world of sex for sale. That's probably because it's based on the real-life blog and books by a person known only as Belle de Jour. The series began life as a British TV show and premiered in the U.S. on Showtime to the highest ratings the network had seen in four years. Nearly one million viewers tuned into the premiere; its closest rival was 'Dexter' with 604,000. This is another 1 of my favorite’s show time series. With having friends of mine in the sex work business I find that this show does display a lot of the truths about sex work, both good & bad. Anyway, I look forward the start of Season 3 which begins Jan. 25th at 10pm.
