I just finished the second season of Secret Diary of a Call Girl. I think there was simultaneously more and less sex than I expected, but it turns out that there's a lot more to the show than just gawking at Piper. They did a really great job of showing how Hannah's life as Belle affects her social interactions, and I genuinely felt sad during the end of this series. Something about Hannah banging her head against a relationship that would never work, while Ben secretly has feelings for her that neither of them will talk about, just really sat well for me. If anything I found it unpleasant to watch because it was emotionally stressful, which is the last thing I need with the stuff going in in my life. It all just felt alarmingly real given the tone of the show and narration style.
The narration is great though, for such a fun and sassy show. The 4th-wall breaking style is perfect, and I love the looks that Hannah gives the camera, especially when she's with clients.
