TV serie: Harlots

 I only have a few rules, girls. No orgies, flagellation, or bestiality. Otherwise you are at liberty to entertain gentleman callers as you wish.

Beginning of this year has been really quiet with good movies, but I watched excellent tv serie Harlots from Yle Areena.

What is this about: Class society, poverty, rasism and gender inequality in 1800th century London. Main characters are form Wells family: a mother who has a brothel and her daughters who needs to earn their living.

Content warnings: Sexual assaul, violence
Best about it: Entertaining drama but made me think some serious topics how the world wasn't and isn't as good to everyone. Also some moral issues were presented: how awful things people are able to do when they want to save themselves.
How did I felt: Interested an entertained. Pinge watching this occasionally, very well done. Partly the show feels a bit too soap opera with all the gossiping but it doesn't take all tha attention and the the costumes, the characters, the plot and everything together works.
Goodness: 5/5
Weirdness: 2/5
