The series, which is executive produced by Steven Soderbergh, follows Christine Reade, a second year student at Chicago-Burnham Law School and a new intern at a prestigious law firm.
Working hard to establish herself at the firm, her focus quickly shifts when a classmate 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.
Juggling two very different lives, Christine quickly finds herself drawn into the GFE world, attracted to the rush of control and intimacy.
The Girlfriend Experience will premiere exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in the UK, Germany and Austria today, and in Japan later this year.
