Satisfaction

As someone who has worked in a similar type establishment, I was really curious to see how this portrayal of sex workers and their client in a legal Melbourne brothel would pan out. There is a long history of sex workers being portrayed in film and television as victims. I know that there are women in the industry who have had horrible experiences, but there are a lot of women in every day life who have also had these kind of experiences, but prostitutes are usually disproportionately portrayed as having being sexually abused, being drug dependent or being abused by men.

I was so pleased with Satisfaction. Although it is a television drama, (and it does look like one) with gorgeous characters in gorgeous clothes living in gorgeous homes, what it succeeds so well at is its portrayal of the workers as complex women from different backgrounds, working in a well run industry for their own reasons. It is interesting that there is a focus on sexual fantasy type bookings, which is not the general brothel experience, but I guess it is the most interesting for television! The sex scenes are realistic, and not tacky, and the clients are also more than the usual one dimensional 'john'. This is really great Australian television! And for those Australian women (and few men) who have never set foot in an Australian brothel, this is about as close as television/film gets to portraying something close to the real thing. 10/10.

I think that, after all these years after watching this for the first time, i am still in love with Peta Sergeant. Lovely woman.

I really LOVE this show! It's 2025 and this is a series that really ages well. The characters have multiple layers and are far from the one-dimensional prostitute type characters that are usually shown on TV, e.g. None of them are being beaten or have drug habits they are feeding by doing sex work, etc...

Satisfaction is a great show, with a terrific blend of high drama and comedic moments.

This series is NOT to be confused with the Netflix show of the same name. Australia's version was years earlier (2007-2010) and FAR better!

Also, Dustin Clare is amazing in this btw. His acting skills and charisma are undeniable...which came across loud & clear when he stole the show in the STARZ series Spartacus where he played Gannicus.

Oh I loved how beautifully they've brought up each character in this show. Im absolutely mezmerized, and left addicted to it. I couldn't believe it was over i wish they had shown a little better closure on the characters lives. Please please please! can some one suggest similar shows. Not 'secret diary of a call girl' some home a sex scene feels ridiculous without nudidty, sweat, panting. I feel Secret diary of a call girl is more commercialized, where the main character....i donot knopw how to put this correctly...'non- relatable', or too superfitial. I guess what im trying to say is that in 'satisfaction they could successfully show each character as normal individuals u meet in ur day to day life, with real problems, and emotions.

So u guys must have picked up the hint by how impressed im by the shows and am craving to c more of similar show's with real in depth feeling. I have tried every possible way of searching for similar shows but in vain u guys r my last hope. Love, Jessica.

Great story lines. Great acting. The women are easy on the eyes. I'm binge watching it on this rainy day. It held my attention throughout the first season and I'm glad there's a second and third to come. It's about time there was a Sex Worker story that wasn't just street pimps driving tricked out Bentlys or limos and their "Hoes" (a la Deuces on HBO).
