Keith G.

Intelligent if slightly awkward melding of a gritty, sad drama of life of the street for working class prostitutes, and a somewhat more melodramatic and soapy (if sometimes quite tense) serial killer thriller. Unlike "Klute" where the world of hustling and thriller melded seamlessly, here there is a bit more schizophrenia between the elements. For me, the crime sections, while effective, were also quite familiar, and felt like TV and movies I had seen many times before, whereas the portrait of the day to day lives of hustlers felt like much more interesting and less often explored in a non-exploitive way. There are actually two more seasons of this series, but we only got this first 6 part mini-series here in the states.
