What I'm Watching: Secret Diary of a Call Girl

Secret Diary of a Call Girl: Season 1, Episode 8 (B+)

This is a fitting finale for a consistently good first season. I'm eager to see season two, which I believe begins as early as next month in the UK, and I'll attempt to provide reviews based on whether I can get my hands on the episodes as they air overseas. Billie Piper is a terrific lead, and I'm continually impressed by her ability to carry the show and dwarf all the guest stars with her performance. Ben is a fine supporting character, and I suspect that this new position which Belle holds won't suit her as much as she initially thought, and she may revert back to her old job, which may not turn out to be much of a downgrade. All in all, this is a good show which is far better than I might have imagined.

Season 1 grade: B+
