Beverly Hills Bordello

There are several of these that I like. Any with John McCafferty in them for starters. J.T. Pontino is nice too. As for the women, Kira Reed is one of my favourites. The guys have great bodies and are nice for a good night's romance. The guys could be shown a little more (girls watch too) but most of the story lines are excellent. I highly recommend "Role Play" and "The Witness" to anyone who likes a good storyline. I found this show a couple of years ago and it's one of the reasons I subscribe to Showtime. Showtime could show this more often (reruns are OK--hint, hint)and having a better official site would be nice (although I will always rely on IMDb for the cast/guest lists. (Smile.)

This was the reason I subscribed to Showtime. The quality entertainment, the incredible acting, the magnificent plot lines - none of that was part of this show. However it did have a lot of naked breasts to make up for it and boy did they ever!

My wife and I have enjoyed these episodes on "Showtime", but have not seen any on your format in over a week. Would appreciate seeing them more often. We find that they are done in a classy fashion and no other station on cable is offering an erotic presentation such as this, except possibly HBO with it's "Cat House". This of course being a more crude,yet actual presentation of a Bordello. In their case it is presented more like a documentary with no real story line. We find that on"Bordello", most of the stories are interesting and entertaining, and the quality of acting top notch. Please continue these presentations, even if they are repeats. Thanks

Beverly Hills Bordello (shown on a Quebec T.V. station as La Maison De Plaisir) is a series that featured some of the best actors in softcore from the mid to late 90's.

Taking place in Beverly Hills (I'm guessing Los Angeles has plenty of these upscale places), it features the old storyline of good-looking people who aren't happy with their sex lives and need to pay someone to fix it up. That's where the Beverly Hills Bordello comes in, run by Madame Veronica Winston (played by various women over the years). As you can guess, steamy softcore sex scenes with all your favorite MFV hunks and man-made babes are offered to bolster the slim storylines. I can't critique the acting because this is dubbed into French, but it might actually make the show better. A decent watch, but nothing mind-blowing, although I haven't seen enough episodes yet, so there might be a memorable one still to come down the pipe.

Sure, it's a skin-max type of show with soft core written all over it. Why is it so disappointing? The "acting" is amongst the most amateurish you will come across short of a Fred Olin Ray presentation. The only real difference is on this show, the ladies aren't trying to act like heroes in a poorly contrived "shoot over the weekend" piece of detritus.

Make no mistake: the women are beautiful. That does not take away from the terrible plots, painful acting and intolerable music. The only real highlight is Nicole Gian who lit up the screen every time she entered the room. Unfortunately, she's nowhere to be found in season two being replaced by Gabriela Hall and Monique Parent...neither of whom could carry the part.

What's to like? Lots of skin. What's not to like? The strained plots, the amateur-hour talent and the never seen happy finishes. Even faked, it'd be better than fading to pillow talk as done most of the time here.

And finally...the generic "jazz" saxophone. You'd BETTER like generic saxophone music. It's almost like getting it on in an elevator with the music turned up too high.

Watch for the skin. Don't have a single other expectation.
