Amber Dowling TheWrap 06/14/2018
This is a character study and the lead doesn't have to be beautifully flawed in order to get in over her head. Go to Full Review Alison Herman The Ringer 08/14/2017
The Girlfriend Experience shows how two formats on an accelerating collision course can merge successfully. Go to Full Review Stuart Heritage Guardian 07/01/2016
The pedigree of the talent runs deep, and pays off in its refusal to be what you expect. Go to Full Review Sean Mulvihill FanboyNation.com 11/01/2018
4.5/5
It's a well-acted, well-written, and remarkably well-directed series that avoids falling into problematic elements that could befall any series treading in such risqué waters. Go to Full Review Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) 07/11/2018
The Girlfriend Experience is sometimes uncomfortable to watch, other times it stops in its tracks; then he throws himself into an unexpected place. But everything fits and, above all, attracts. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Lauren Le Vine Refinery29 06/28/2017
The show moves in such a rapid-fire manner that it doesn't suggest passing judgment on any character's actions. It merely points the camera at them and shoots, catching them in whatever acts they choose to engage. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Anh H. @Annhuynh Jul 8 It hot show and so good See more Nail L Jun 24 Riley Keough's performance is so staggeringly real that she drew me in and ignited my emotions. I willingly threw away any disbelief I may have brought with me just to imagine she was with me. At times this was raw and rude, at the times it was extremely intelligent, but it was always seductive mentally, emotionally and physically. I strongly recommend this series. See more Rob W @Mr_Inbetween 01/18/2025 First season only but Riley Keough was amazing. Very different and riveting. See more Ryan M 09/21/2024 Fantastic storyline, fantastically writen, played brilliantly by Riley Keough, well worth a watch I wish I'd watched it sooner See more Elen P 11/13/2023 It had a satisfy start. The leading acting was good despite some losses in the storyline and some pretty forced things. In general it's a good show so far. See more M A 05/31/2021 The star is as sexy as her grandfather in his heyday, and a much better actor. See more Read all reviews
