One of the television series I caught this summer was the controversial Australian “Satisfaction”. A show based on the lives of a handful escorts in a luxurious Melbourne brothel. Interestingly the show has managed to entwine nudity and adult theme with everyday drama and serious dramaturgy, without coming across forced or provocative! Satisfaction tries to dedramatized sex and bring it to the public forum, something I personally believe in and like about it. In a way “Satisfaction” is the Aussie cousin to the British “Secret Diary of a Call Girl” from the very same network, namely SHOWTIME. However it is both edgier and heavier! So far two season have been aired and season three will kick off in December.
