Season One of GFE was an unexpected delight. Riley Keogh gave a brave uninhibited performance. Lodge Kerrigan and Amy Seimitz were the show runners and brought enough difference to the subject matter that the tension in the narrative benefited from it. In Season Two Kerrigan and Seimitz are each given their own story line over five episodes and it was an epic failure because each were now unrestrained in their vision and it did not work.
The series went dark for several years and a year ago it was announced that Julia Goldani Telles would star in Season Three. I watched her in The Affair playing the daughter. I thought she would bring a vulnerability to the part which would be exciting bringing something less than Keogh's assured badass approach. However, they decided that she could play an in control modern woman doing sexual research as a call girl to aid her professional career developing an AI program.
Telles performance is cringe-worthy especially in the two episode. She has a scene with a new client and does a horribly mannered attempt to look coy. Question by client, no answer, look to the right. Question by client, no answer, look down and to the right. The interaction ends with her crawling on the floor to deliver the worst simulated oral sex act I've seen in recent times. To be fair, the script does give her much to work with but we knew that from the over the top pretentious opening scene with the interviewer. As being disappointed by Season Two and waiting years for Season Three, I am leaving majorly disappointed.
