Secret Diary of a Call Girl 1x08

Here we are, last episode of the first season. I’ve watched the whole season in one sitting so far. Easiest show to binge ever. Season finale, here I come!

Thoughts While Watching

  • How legit is this courtesan thing? Sounds very straight out of the Renaissance era. Are they just really high-end sugar babies with a pretentious label?
  • That one courtesan played the sheriff’s sister on Robin Hood.
  • So rude. I think the blue looks nice on her.
  • Yeah, Hannah. It’s weird to ask your ex to take seductive pictures of you for your courtesan website.
  • I love the part where she tells Stephanie off! I’d love to quit a job like that someday. I’ve fantasized about it.
  • I love this photoshoot montage. I’d love to do a boudoir photoshoot someday but I’m too fat and covered in pregnancy stretch marks.
  • It’s cute how excited she gets about the apartment. Too bad the guy ends up being a jerk.
  • I think her mom is suspicious. Maybe not of her being an escort, but I bet that she at least thinks that Hannah is sleeping with her boss or something. Actually, when Jackie goes to live with her later on she says something about how Hannah works a dead end job where the only chance of moving up the ladder is to sleep with someone, which makes me think that maybe her and their mom talked about their theory behind her back and that’s what they decided was happening.
  • Aw, the cactus housewarming gift is cute.
  • I wonder how the pay works at this level. If she can only have around 4ish clients and they might not live in London to see her that often, does she get an allowance from them? That fits my sugar baby theory.
  • So why doesn’t she go out sightseeing or something? Or bring a book? Watch tv? There’s gotta be more to do than sit in that room all day.
  • This guy is SUCH a prick. I hate him. There’s no reason to be such a douche about it. He could just say that he has a problem with her doing stuff like that because his job is so important to him. If he made it clear in a nice way, I’m sure she would have gotten the picture. He didn’t have to snap like that.
  • Ben’s right, she definitely knew exactly what she was doing. I’ve done something similar before.
  • AWWW! “Yeah, Vanessa wonders what I’m doing here at midnight. Of course, because she knows, Hannah! Shit, at our wedding she’s gonna be sat there next to me in her dress and you’re going to get up and give your speech and every single person in the room is gonna be thinking ‘why isn’t he marrying her?’”
  • Good for her getting rid of that guy and this whole courtesan business. Now she’s going to be an independent escort.
  • Ben called off the wedding! “I don’t want to marry you, but when I realized that, I realized I don’t want to marry her either.”
  • It’s cute how close Ben is with her family. Too bad that Jackie stuff will wreck that.
  • “As long as one person knows you entirely and loves you still” aww, cute way to end the season on a very Hannah/Ben note.

Final Thoughts

I love the first season, but I’m really looking forward to season two because I LOVE Bambi! Can’t believe I just marathoned the whole season in one night. Time to get this ready to post!

Robin Hood 1x12 "The Return of the King"

Woo! We made it to the first half of the two part season one finale! These next two episodes are going to be an emotional rollercoaster, but a fun one! Djaq and Marian both get to absolutely shine in this episode too, which is fantastic (I think this episode is only the second or third instance in the entire show so far that passes the Bechdel Test, which isn't great...), and everyone involved in the cave scenes gets to really show off their acting abilities here in a big way. I'm excited for this one, so let's begin! Thoughts While Watching: Guy looks so awkward holding that bird. You don't feed your birds?! I'm calling PETA! The cave doesn't seem that bad. I'd rather be in there than out in the rain. "Bats are rats, rats with wings." This whole scene is great. I love Much. I didn't know that fact about bats was something they would've known back then. Makes sense that Djaq would be the one to know it. Djaq knows everything. ...

Robin Hood 1x01 "Will You Tolerate This?"

Alright, here we go! One of my all time favorite shows, probably tied with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel or just slightly below them in the list (but definitely in my Top 3). I've been a Robin Hood fan since the very first episode first aired on BBC America when I was sixteen years old. For reference, I'll be turning thirty this month. I've rewatched this show, especially the first two seasons, more times than I can count. Plenty has changed in my life since I first saw this episode, so this will be fun! Let's get into it. Thoughts While Watching: I love that Allan is the first character we see. Joe Armstrong is such a cutie. Heartbreaking, in hindsight, how this scene sort of mirrors Allan's last scene though. "My wife expects a baby!" Oh, Allan...  These guards are way too excited about being able to mutilate people. Sadistic creeps. How long did it take Robin and Much to set up this string tied to the branches system? It's not like ...

Robin Hood 3x04 "Sins of the Father"

I took about a two month break from my rewatch. Since I last reviewed an episode I've been working on a Robin Hood fanfic (the rough draft is finished and I'm editing now and trying to work up the courage to post it), rewatching random episodes of other shows (kinda on a Charmed kick lately), and started a new rewatch of Robin Hood with a fan group I'm in. I've also, of course, been dealing with real life. I know quarantine is over for most people, but not my family! I'll still be out of work until at least the end of August (I work in a school and while I absolutely love my job, I'm honestly considering looking for a new one because I'm really concerned about the uncertainty of the upcoming school year) and my husband is still mostly working from home. At least that means I still have time to watch my shows! I think another reason the rewatch has been going so much slower for season three is that my heart is really just not in it. I love seasons one and two...
