This typical slice of reality junk aimed at pay-cable fans too ashamed to access Adult Entertainment (i.e., XXX porn) held only one surprise. At the end we discover it is the proud product of Dick Wolf, the immensely successful network TV purveyor of so many "Law and Order" shows one wonders why he would waste any time on bottom-feeding stuff like this.
Showtime's 1st episode (and the only one still available On Demand) cross-cuts between three personages who ply their trade at night.
One is an attractive young cross-dresser who works as one of those uppity doormen at nightclubs in the Big Apple. Because he decides arbitrarily who will enter and who will merely stand out in the cold at his rope line and be insulted, he fancies himself a celebrity, taking Warhol's "15 Minutes of Fame" declaration to heart. We see him more or less humiliate his boyfriend and end up picking up a hunk for sex at the end of his night shift. His entire segment is patently phony in the time-honored hokum invented in the '50s as cinema verite, where through a well-known law of physics (ignored by untalented documentarians) the camera affects the behavior of those "real people" supposedly just observed being themselves.
Subject number two is an attractive blonde hooker who calls herself an "Escort" in the current self-delusional parlance. Wolf and crew pull all their punches and engage in maximum self-censorship so that her segments while promising soft- core titillation are puerile, virtually PG-13 in content. Another phony exercise.
Completing the trifecta is the notorious local nonentity dubbing himself Fat Jew whose entire existence seems merely to prove not only the Warhol axiom already established by our doorman but further that one can make a living and achieve delusional fame by merely exploiting that dreaded 21st Century phenomenon: Social Media. Boasting of his 2-1/2 million followers (even Jim Jones of Jonestown infamy didn't approach that scale of reach) the guy motor-mouths his way across the screen boasting of more inverted values and attitudes than one would think humanly possible in a single individual. Perhaps merely the latest in a long line of fakirs typified in cinema by John Waters or TV by Simon Cowell, this jerk redefines the concept of obnoxious. For me, his act just amplifies the descent into the ephemeral and "who asked for this?" approach to entertainment of which the supreme example is TMZ.
