Secret Diary of a Call Girl 2x02

So this is the episode in which Hannah considers getting a boob job and Bambi deals with a dangerous client. Let's start watching!

Is Secret Diary of a Call Girl: Season 2: Episode 2 on Netflix USA?

Thoughts While Watching

  • “I’ll put self-employed.” I’m laughing so hard at this. She really doesn’t need any work.
  • You know what I find interesting? She uses her clients for real life stuff. One of her clients does her taxes, now one of them is a plastic surgeon she’s going to see, but both of those things would require her real identity to be disclosed, right? Her taxes and her health insurance and all the legal and medical forms would have to be done under the name Hannah Baxter, not Belle No-last-name. Does that bother her at all? Isn’t it breaking her rule of keeping things separate?
  • I’m kind of getting tired of her making comments about how she can’t do this or can’t do that because she’s a prostitute.
  • She looks so worried for Bambi. It’s so sweet.
  • Bambi’s so adorable. I love how scared she is of Stephanie, how offended she gets about the porn comment, and how she stands up for herself anyway.
  • Stephanie cracks me up though. I love how snarky she is about everything.
  • Bambi was so shady in her first two episodes but I love her anyway.
  • David and Belle’s kind of almost-friendship they have is kind of cute. I mean, I know they’re client and escort but Belle seems to form almost friendships with some of them.
  • I love her freakout with the mustache!
  • At least that mustache faded somewhat before she got to her date. How did she not notice?
  • “Sometimes I like to draw facial hair on myself.” I’m dying. Poor Alex, he’s so confused.
  • I didn’t like the actor’s delivery of the line “What do you do?”
  • My mother in law had to get her breast implants taken out because they were recalled or something like that. He’s not wrong.
  • I love that she drops everything to go help Bambi and immediately stops caring about their fight. Her idea of looking for the shampoo bottles was pretty clever too.
  • Did Bambi used to cut herself?
  • Aww, she let Bambi stay the night. Bambi really wasn’t ever cut out for this job and in a lot of ways she’s almost like the anti-Belle, which becomes more apparent next season with Byron.

Final Thoughts

Was Ben even in this episode? I think he was missing. Interesting.

I'm glad that they showed how cautious you have to be about screening clients, what some of the red flags are that you need to be aware of, and how dangerous it is to just jump in without proper research or security. Belle has a better idea of what she's doing and how to screen clients because she's been at this a lot longer and learned the ropes while working for an agency but Bambi doesn't get that jumping straight into being independent before you have experience can be risky. I will say that Bambi is obviously doing some research since she reached out to Belle in the first place, but she definitely needs to slow down a bit. I'm so glad that everything worked out alright for her here and that the guy left and Hannah came over in time. That whole situation has to be terrifying.

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...
