The series shows the darker side of Belle's work without getting into that porno-punishing crap so often disguised as morality lessons. The series, like Belle, is far too smart to succumb to such an average attitude.
By Gillian Flynn FULL REVIEW

The emotional strains of keeping her secret from Ben (Iddo Goldberg) grow across the eight episodes and lend the season an unexpected poignancy.
By Matthew Gilbert FULL REVIEW
70
DeMange draws out the helplessness and frustrations of the men who visit Belle, which are complemented by Tat Radcliffe's framing of the action.
By Phil Gallo FULL REVIEW
50
Future episodes elevate the Belle and Ben relationship to a more complicated place, which bears some promise and may give Secret Diary the distinction it lacks in early episodes.
By Rob Owen FULL REVIEW
40
The longer you watch the show (I've seen all eight episodes of its first season), the emptier and more frustrating it becomes, to the point where even the brief running time begins to feel too long.
By Alan Sepinwall FULL REVIEW
30
Secret Diary of a Call Girl is a series of sketches, and its eight episodes do not trace an arc or advance a narrative.
By Troy Patterson FULL REVIEW
10
Secret Diary is a nonstop glamorization of prostitution.
