Title: "Harlots"
Post by: Braziliana on 27 March 2017, 10:49:14 pm: I am loving the costumes (including the wigs) as well as Mrs Nasty - the character of Lydia Quigley.
I am all for any re-launching of Harris' List, personally. You? ;)

Harlots (generic) is another word for whore, popular in the 18th and 19th centuries especially. Harlots is a new TV drama series.

Harris's List was a book that reviewed said harlots in Georgian London. You can find bits of it if you Google - it's quite funny.

I've tried (for a short while) The Client List on Netflix. Gave up quickly. The whole "We never talk about the ..." sounded much better when it was Brad talking :)

Once you have seen humping and shagging on screen and admired the pretty frocks a few times it is just titillating tripe which those who are not familiar with daily fornication for cash may find good viewing.

I do love Leslie Manville as an actress though.

I may watch Ep 2, not sure. As to the story, just like agency wars really. ;D

Oh I loved that tho the plot did get rather crazy! I ended up rewatching it last summer. The brilliant Cathy Tyson was also in that.
