It’s the individual perspectives of the women who made the decision to pose and become Playmates that resonate most in Secrets of Playboy, as they take their personal power back from the brand and the public’s perception of it. Go to Full Review

Trevor V 01/21/2025 Season 2 was very disappointing. I only ever felt sympathy for a few out of the dozens of women that were interviewed. I don't understand what the purpose of Season 2 was. Additionally, Season 2 felt like they were promoting women on onlyfans. And how famous they were and that they enjoyed being with playboy, unlike Season 1 where the women that were interviewed were mentally and emotionally mutilated. So what's the point of Season 2? Can't say I was impressed or moved with the episodes of the second season. See more Sarah S 09/10/2023 Missed the point of season 1… I feel like all of season 1 was showing us how the people who run Playboy are rapists, who hurt so many women, but now it feels like we're just focused on how much money women can make while working for them, and it's unfortunate that they are discriminated against for posing nude (without mentioning anything about the rapes)… They even said things like the women hurt by the misogyny in Playboy are "just mad they weren't pretty enough to be asked to pose in it" See more Read all reviews
