Bolstered by more strong turns, especially from Friel, this remains a moving, bold experience worth sharing.

Altogether, the second season of The Girlfriend Experience is knottier and more surprising, though somewhat less satisfying, than the first. But this is the sort of experimentation and inconsistency that push television beyond the dictates of delivering narrative by the yard.
The two halves have wildly different strengths. “Bria” is cinematically stunning, with a few sequences that are going to be hard to forget anytime soon. “Erica & Anna” is a much more straightforward story, with a chilly aesthetic that makes “House of Cards” look upbeat. But the relative opacity of “Bria’s” story beats — and the oddly pat metaphors of “Erica & Anna”--left me with the wish that these two well-matched directors might, you know, collaborate.
What’s gratifying about this spotty and sometimes surreal Season 2 is that it’s clear the show’s creators want to push the boundaries of what they can do.
Despite fully committed and often superb performances, neither Erica nor Anna come alive as recognizable human beings. The same is true of the men. ... Seimetz’s story, “Bria,” is more involving.
