I’ve already reviewed the final episode of Beverly Hills Bordello, well today I’m reviewing the first episode.

Written by Mushina Bezimyani and directed by Robert Angelo, Peggy Trentini and Frank Harper star as Elaine and Paul Robbins, a married couple whose sex life has recently been in a bit of a rut. We see them attempting to make love in the beginning of the episode, but it’s awkward and uncomfortable, she gets her hair caught in the pillows, they bump into each other, etc., until they just give up.

The next day Elaine goes to the bordello to meet with Sandra (Ashlie Rhey), one of the ladies who works there and who happens to be Elaine’s former friend and roommate. Years ago they fell out after Elaine learned of Sandra’s job, so Sandra is naturally surprised to see her again and admits to still being a little hurt by Elaine’s actions. Elaine tells Sandra about her sex life and says she wants some instructions on how to spice things hope. Sandra takes Elaine to her room and has her hide so she can watch while Sandra is with a client (a man named John, played by Adam Wilde).

When the appointment is over, Elaine admits to getting turned on by it, and after some more talking about their friendship and Elaine apologizing for being judgmental towards her before, they come up with the perfect idea to spice up Elaine’s sex life.

Paul shows up at the bordello, having been called there by Elaine, He gets there and meets Veronica (Nicole Gian) and is surprised to see that the place is a bordello. Veronica directs him to Sandra’s room, where he finds Elaine and Sandra sitting naked on the edge of a bathtub. They have him sit down and watch as they have sex. And then Paul takes Sandra’s place and he and Elaine have sex, while Sandra watches. THE END

Peggy Trentini and Ashlie Rhey are two underrated actresses from this era of softcore, in my opinion, and all of their scenes are hot here. In addition to the sex scenes, there’s an opening scene of Trentini alone rubbing lotion on her naked body and then masturbating. It’s worth watching. Chacebook rating: FOUR STARS
