When we meet Christine, she's a law student with an internship at a glossy patent law firm, and she's semi-scandalized by the idea of being an escort. It's about the end result at all costs; several of its tangled plotlines get lost and never finish. It is clear the message is how pathetic these men are for being only concerned about money and looks. Long, patient shots seem to slow down time, even as more than a year passes over the course of the series. On The Girlfriend Experience, this space exists in moody hotel room lighting and late nights at the office, coming up for daylight only when the dark gets too heavy. She stares blankly at the screen the entire time showing no emotion in a role that does not give her much to do.

A "sophisticated escort" goes about her life and we watch it take place. The things that were entertaining had to be the rich clients.
The Girlfriend Experience's performances just aren't good enough to create it. The floors are always shined and Christine rarely has a stray hair fall out of her bun. The Girlfriend Experience is definitely not a portrayal of most realities, and probably not a portrayal of any single person's reality either, escort or otherwise. Christine's interactions with some of these men are the only evidence that she's capable of empathy.
The plot is really not there. Over the course of the series, Christine sleeps with several men, many of whom feel indistinguishable from one another (aging, strong-jawed business-types with very clean suits and even cleaner apartments). Every scene leading up to a sex scene can feel like a threat. Read critic reviews. Because prostitution is illegal in the show's world, every sex scene (and there are many) feels like a covert documentation of a criminal act, even if Christine isn't with a client.
