I loved Margot's Got Money Troubles.

I am a huge fan of the book, big fan of Rufy Thorpe, the author.

I think what's tricky for me with an adaptation, especially of something that I do really love, is I want it to feel familiar, but I also want to be surprised and excited.

And I think this TV show did that perfectly.

It is not a like scene for scene copy of the book, and it should not be.

You used the word real pleasure earlier.

It is just a real pleasure to watch this show.

I think I might even like it more than Ron.

He giggles more, which is such a delight.

I think when it comes to the sex work aspect of the story, too, I mean, it's also worth noting how much OnlyFans has changed sex work in terms of, Linda, as you mentioned, the fact that you don't have to meet people in real life.

Mm-hmm.

Like so many of the safety aspects that make me nervous when I think about sex work don't exist in this world, which is also, you know, it just like completely changes what that looks like in a way that I think is really interesting and which the book and this series also explore.

You really get that in the, it's very funny how like sweet and wholehearted the show is given how also like raunchy and imperfect everyone is too, you know?

Yeah, I also think it's interesting how much these characters disappoint each other, you know, and the fact that they also are able to apologize and make amends.

Like I think so often, especially in a really dramatic show, you know, it's like that one thing is like you've crossed the line.

This is it.

I'm never going to speak to you again.

Whereas this, there is so much sort of like coming apart and coming back together and like just trying to figure it out.

And I think it's so lovely to watch all these characters do that.

This is just a really cool collection of actors.
