00:00If you're not okay with seeing an old man butt every five minutes of this show, don't
00:07watch it.
00:08If you're not okay with sex scenes approximately every three minutes of this show, don't watch
00:14it.
00:15If you like Victorian outfits, watch it.
00:17Hey Naturally Curly World, I'm Grace.
00:19Welcome to Watch and Go, the show where we do our hair and talk about TV shows, movies,
00:25things we watch, things we listen to.
00:26Harlots is a new Hulu series, so it's only available on Hulu, and it is rated mature
00:33because it's about, you guessed it, harlots.
00:36So if any of you are watching with your children, if you are under 18, if you shouldn't be watching
00:41this, turn me off.
00:44If you're of age, then let's talk about Harlots.
00:46Have a boarding house for young ladies.
00:52The city is made of our flesh, all of our pieces.
01:07I offer you love.
01:12For a harlot, that doesn't exist.
01:16I'm going to use DivaCurl's Build Up Buster instead of my shampoo.
01:20In honor of Small Business Month, which is May, I'm going to be using the Two Girls With
01:24Curls conditioner.
01:26I'm going to use this Tea Tree Scout Care Anti-Thinning Root Lift Foam.
01:31Haven't used it before, hopefully it's good.
01:33A little bit of Briogeo, Curl Charisma Leave-In Defining Cream, and some DivaCurl Soft Hold
01:41Note Crunch Styler.
01:42I just washed, conditioned, put in some leave-in, and put my hair up in this tea towel.
01:47Harlots is set in 18th century London, and it's basically exactly what the name says.
01:53So there are two rival houses, and they're basically trying to, like, destroy each other.
02:01So one of the houses is, like, the up-and-coming house.
02:05It's not as, like, classy, and they don't live in as nice of a house.
02:09And then the other house is, like, where all of, like, the fancy harlots are, and you have
02:13to, like, know an instrument and, like, two languages and, like, be really well-groomed
02:18and stuff to be a harlot there, but they also, like, abuse their harlots really badly.
02:25As they say in the show, sex work is the world's oldest profession.
02:29It still exists today.
02:30It definitely existed back then, but I actually did not realize, like, the extent to which
02:35it existed.
02:36I think it's, like, one in three women in that time period did some form of sex work.
02:42Back then it was, like, one of the only professions that women could do and make good money at.
02:46Also in this show, there are, like, these Puritan ladies who go around, like, cursing the harlots,
02:52and they wear, like, these, like, lace things that only show their face and they, like, come
02:57around here and then the rest of them is covered.
02:59It looks really uncomfortable.
03:01They just stand outside screaming in the streets about how, like, everyone in there is going
03:05to hell and, like, what big sinners they are.
03:07Or there's, like, a sex scene and, like, you can hear them screaming outside about how you're,
03:11like, going to hell and stuff, which is totally a buzzkill.
03:14If you're trying to, like, get down, you know?
03:17So I'm rooting for the lower house because the madam at the upper house is the one who,
03:23like, abuses all the harlots and, like, she's super manipulative.
03:26And the one in, like, the less nice house has, like, come up from the streets and she's,
03:32like, climbing her way up the harlot ladder and I'm like, you go, madam.
03:37Oh, another thing that I constantly think about while I'm watching this show is hygiene,
03:42okay?
03:43Do they shower every day?
03:44Do they bathe between clients?
03:47How do they, is there protection?
03:49Like, oh my gosh.
03:51And at one point, I think one of the harlots dies of the plague because that was a thing
03:57back then.
03:58The plague, the literal plague, the black plague.
04:05It's really stressful if you're someone who, like, is into hygiene.
04:09So basically for anyone, prepare to be stressed.
04:12I'm going to put this root lift foam in my hair.
04:16One of the things that bothered me the most about this show is that the mistress of the
04:21the lower house, she has two daughters and she sells their virginity.
04:25She goes to the opera and she's like, I'm taking closed envelope bids for my daughter's
04:31virginity.
04:32Yeah, so it's a, it can be a grim show for sure.
04:38Okay, I'm going to put some of this gel in now.
04:41Is it a show about female empowerment?
04:44No, not really.
04:47I put my hair back into a plop after I put the gel in just to set it a little bit.
04:51And now I'm going to defuse it.
04:58Okay, so this is my finished wash and go.
05:04It's looking different than usual.
05:06I don't dislike it.
05:07It just looks different.
05:08It's fine.
05:09I like it.
05:10I don't know.
05:11I would give Harlots a 3.5 out of 5.
05:12I'm going to keep watching it just because I am loving the whole rival houses drama.
05:17It's definitely not a show for everyone, obviously, because of the subject matter.
05:22So think twice before you watch it, but if you're into that kind of thing, definitely
05:26watch it.
05:27Have you watched this show?
05:28What'd you think?
05:29Do you have any other suggestions about what I should watch?
