Nowadays, there’s a series for every taste.

If you want savage, sharp, and foul-mouthed, you watch Succession. Feeling in the mood for true-crime? Making a Murderer. Want to show people your comedy tastes are outdated? The Big Bang Theory.

Now, if you’re into something a bit more risque, you can enjoy The Girlfriend Experience. The first two seasons, executive produced by Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh (Sex, Lies and Videotape, Traffic), are now streaming first and only on Showmax in South Africa.

You can start watching it right now if you sign up for their FREE 14-day trial, but for the rest, let’s find out a little more.

In season one, Christine Reade (Riley Keough from Mad Max: Fury Road and Magic Mike) is a second-year student at Chicago-Burnham Law School and intern at a prestigious firm. Working hard to establish herself at the firm, her focus shifts when her law school friend introduces her to the world of transactional relationships.

Known as GFEs, they are women who provide ‘The Girlfriend Experience’ —emotional and sexual relationships at a very high price.

Newsday called it, “TV’s most adult show,” The Guardian hailed it as “TV’s most audacious drama,” Indiewire said “You can’t point to anything else like it on television,” and Vulture described it as “one of the boldest premium-cable projects in years”.

In other words, watch it now:

Spicy indeed.

Seems like the kind of show you watch with the curtains drawn.

The Girlfriend Experience is streaming exclusively on Showmax, so sign up for their FREE 14-day trial. Better yet, if you’re an existing DStv user subscriber, you can add Showmax for free.

For the rest, the month-to-month subscription costs R99, which gets you all-you-can-eat access to a huge online catalogue of TV shows, movies, kids’ shows and documentaries.

There are no ads, you can cancel any time you want, and there’s no contract.

Another massive plus – you can stream Showmax using apps for smart TVs, smartphones, tablets, computers and media players. No internet? No problem – download up to 25 shows to smartphones and tablets to watch later offline.

There’s a little something for everyone, including those who like it spicy.
