I would NEVER think to watch a show like this, but I gave it a try after hearing so many good reviews. I'm glad I took the chance, it's more than just strippers in a club, it's real life. The stories of the characters grab you, although it's fictional in a sense, you know so many people go through these trials and tribulations on a daily, and it was refreshing to witness the rawness of human existence ( even the unpleasant moments). I applaud the writing of this show.
