6/10
Season 1 = Fantastic; Season 2 = Very Good; Season 3 = Terrible

As this is an anthology series, all seasons are completely different. Season 1 with Riley Keough was not only one of the best TV shows of 2016, it was one of the best shows of the 2010's, showing glimpses of a world seldom seen. I wasn't thrilled at first with Riley Keough's flat, emotionless performance, but for whatever reason, it worked.

Season 2 was broken up into 2 separate stories, and while both were interesting, I preferred the Erica & Anna segment over the Bria one. I thought Season 2 was one of the 10 best shows in 2017.

And now we come to Season 3, which should be ashamed of piggy-backing itself onto the brand equity of this series. It is simply awful, and I put the majority of the blame on the decision to have Julia Goldani Teles in the lead. I had seen her as the whiny teenager, then twenty-something daughter of the lead characters in "The Affair" series on Showtime, and thought she would be plausible playing a high-end escort. But she is in way over her head in this role, and is simply not believable as an ultra-smart neuroscience major joining a cutting-edge high tech company in London.

As it took 4 years for Season 3 to come out, I'm hoping this is the very last season of this series.
