I'm only writing this review to clarify a couple of things that I saw in other reviews. Before I that I'll say that this series is by no means perfect, but it's enjoyable and there's enough good material there to binge watch. It's not a must, but it is an intriguing look into a dark world.
People are saying that they don't like that the characters come from wealthy families and have little relatable problems or that the prostitution element is not realistic- FYI - The series is based on the real life underage prostitution scandal that erupted within a wealthy community - the "Baby Squillo Scandal". Wealthy prep school girls from a private school and also appeared to have little problems (on the surface), were at the centre. The only thing that isn't touched upon enough is the corrupt officials that were clients. The real life client list held the names of politicians, police officers, UN Ambassadors etc... and police believe the high profile clients were aware that the girls in the real scandal were only 14 and 15. When you think about Baby in real life terms, it's actually dark and disturbing but it also shows how easy it is to groom teens. It reminds us that young people are not completely aware of the impact of their decisions and what they are really doing no matter how "grown up" they try to act.
