However, in the escort agency code that has grown up around the GFE, clients often call themselves "hobbyists" and refer to a prostitute who provides a GFE as a "nice girl". A GFE client pays for time spent with a call girl, which can include social interaction, dating, or sexual acts.

A re-imagining of Steven Soderbergh's 2009 movie of the same name and explores the relationships between exclusive escorts and their clients, for whom they provide far more than just sex. Known as GFEs, they are women who provide "The Girlfriend Experience"- emotional and sexual relationships at a very high price.

Season two of "The Girlfriend Experience" will be told through two different storylines. Directors Lodge Kerrigan and Amy Seimetz wrote and directed the stories separately. The two made the season despite having the same budget they had in season one.

And so the finale ends with Christine alone in the hotel room. Derrick has already left. Gordon is nowhere to be found. She's masturbating alone, unable to get off, surrounded by all the trappings of what sex and beauty have brought: money, control, and very little satisfaction.
