Knowing this is fantasy and heightened drama that just happens to be playing out in a strip club setting, I am enjoying the show. Every week the dances are wicked and graceful. It shows the athleticism and effort these women dedicate to their craft. Also, the show dives into realistic issues that pretty women face, especially when the most valued thing about them is their appearance. The show tackles degrading relatives, domestic abuse, war trauma, economic decay, and general desperation to stay afloat in the MS Delta. This is appointment TV I wish I could throw some stacks at!
