    Satisfaction is an addiction, difficult to give up. This is a well done really great series.. bit.ly/15eawEQ .. and it's too bad it could not have lasted for another several seasons. It would seem like these shows should be fairly easy to produce... just having beautiful women dress seductively, say a few lines, remove their clothing, and film it all. Well if it is, why do so many get it so wrong. There are some stunning women in Satisfaction that a majority of men (and women) would find extremely alluring. It's a well done production from top to bottom, and for the short three season run, not at all 'unsatisfactory.' It was a real loss though to have a couple of the lead actors depart the series early... they had become such an integral part of the production. It was clear they would be very hard to replace. But for many just watching the incredible, addictive Madeleine West alone.. bit.ly/1behksb .. over the course of the three seasons would be more than enough. Although it would have been very nice to have seen her a bit longer. The series on the whole was very highly regarded, winning awards and praise. One reviewer commenting.. "Satisfaction is like dipping your toes into a warm bath and sipping on the finest champagne." And we'll never know, but had it been able to make it to air in the U.S., maybe the infatuation and intoxication would have been able to continue on for a bit longer.

    Satisfaction is an Australian television series set in a high class brothel in Melbourne. I had high expectations for the series after catching glimpses of the previews on showcase however I received rather mixed feelings.For starters there has never been a show quite like this on Australian television. With the rise of networks such as HBO and AMC the quality of television has risen substantially. Programs such as Entourage and Dexter paved the way for other series to adopt a similar format, Satisfaction is no exception. The ambition for this show was rather high. I had a clear view on what the creators of this series were trying to do. However the execution had the show lacking in certain areas. The use of nudity certainly pushed the envelope for what has been seen on Australian television but it is not something we haven't already seen with other shows from America or even England and full frontal female nudity is not "ground breaking" which is a term I have heard used to describe this show, which I obviously disagree with.The main problems with this show start with the script. Some of the dialogue is laughable at best and there is far too much exposition through dialogue. Another problem lies with the actors. Some decent performances come through but some of the supporting characters feel flat and over acted. The main selling point of this series relies on heavy sex scenes which are well acted but at times feel routine.I'd recommend this series to some people but I wouldn't tell them to expect much.

    Oh I loved how beautifully they've brought up each character in this show. Im absolutely mezmerized, and left addicted to it. I couldn't believe it was over i wish they had shown a little better closure on the characters lives. Please please please! can some one suggest similar shows. Not 'secret diary of a call girl' some home a sex scene feels ridiculous without nudidty, sweat, panting. I feel Secret diary of a call girl is more commercialized, where the main character....i donot knopw how to put this correctly...'non- relatable', or too superfitial. I guess what im trying to say is that in 'satisfaction they could successfully show each character as normal individuals u meet in ur day to day life, with real problems, and emotions.So u guys must have picked up the hint by how impressed im by the shows and am craving to c more of similar show's with real in depth feeling. I have tried every possible way of searching for similar shows but in vain u guys r my last hope. Love, Jessica.

    As someone who has worked in a similar type establishment, I was really curious to see how this portrayal of sex workers and their client in a legal Melbourne brothel would pan out. There is a long history of sex workers being portrayed in film and television as victims. I know that there are women in the industry who have had horrible experiences, but there are a lot of women in every day life who have also had these kind of experiences, but prostitutes are usually disproportionately portrayed as having being sexually abused, being drug dependent or being abused by men.I was so pleased with Satisfaction. Although it is a television drama, (and it does look like one) with gorgeous characters in gorgeous clothes living in gorgeous homes, what it succeeds so well at is its portrayal of the workers as complex women from different backgrounds, working in a well run industry for their own reasons. It is interesting that there is a focus on sexual fantasy type bookings, which is not the general brothel experience, but I guess it is the most interesting for television! The sex scenes are realistic, and not tacky, and the clients are also more than the usual one dimensional 'john'. This is really great Australian television! And for those Australian women (and few men) who have never set foot in an Australian brothel, this is about as close as television/film gets to portraying something close to the real thing. 10/10.
