At first I wasn't sure I'd like it, but once the show started and we got to see Bea start some serious growth it was a fun experience. Nice to see an asexual character in the mix. Her relationship with the series producer wasn't entirely believable but the romance was fun and it's good to see a plus size woman whose whole story isn't about changing her weight.

I pushed through 80% and it was straight porn. That has a time and place, and I'll suspend disbelief for the kidnapped by the mafia trope, but the main character is irritating. She is overly obsessed with clothes, shoes, and downing champagne. She seems to have no flaws unless it might lead to a sex scene (I'm afraid of flying. Oh no, he'll distract me with sex) and no real interests. I don't care how hot the sex scenes are if the characters and plot are lacking.
