5.0 out of 5 stars Real reality TV, January 8, 2009

This is the best reality show ever made, in my opinion. It is a truly fascinating show. Be warned- this is as graphic as it gets on cable TV. This show is the graphic account of a brothel, showing every step from admission to orgasm with the girl and the john. It's kind of like a legit version of 'Hookers on the Point', another great HBO show.

The characters are very engrossing, and each episode moves along at a quick pace with a distinct theme/topic. They interview enough people and cut it down so each episode has very little down time.

If you're even mildly interested in this, I recommend it. It's a really interesting story about a guy (Dennis Hoff, the owner/manager) and his business. For all the other things going on, he is a business man, and a very good one.

3.0 out of 5 stars hoped for more, July 4, 2010

This review is from: Cathouse: The Series (DVD)

I studied sociology in college and love documentaries about people who work "underground" professions. Was very excited to see this available as I have loved other similar documentary shows by HBO.

Seemed like a collection of small clips rather than something that made sense as a whole. Each episode is about 25 minutes and may have 3-4 sections with various issues the workers or clients face, such as implants, use of ED medication, or the ins and outs of how the money works. Never really felt that I got the entire story though and I certainly didn't walk away feeling that I knew the girls who worked at the Bunnyranch any better.

Lots of Dennis Hof talking about how these girls are great. Lots of clips of them hanging out in the bar, talking to clients. Lots of clips of guys walking in and looking at the lineup of women. Seemed more scripted than some of the other documentaries on the subject I've seen and certainly not as in depth as books on the subject, such as Brothel.

More graphic than other documentaries, with cameras actually in the rooms with the ladies as they do their work. This may be a good or bad thing, depending on if you like watching people have sex.

Was an interesting series. I expected more though.

I was looking for this Dvd series for as long as the show has been out and when I finally got it, it was everything I could have hoped for and more I recomend it to everyone.
