-Diary of a Gigolo Review contains No spoiler-
Diary of a Gigolo starts off with the protagonist Emanuel being arrested after a body is found in his house which belongs to none other than his client. The story goes back to six months earlier when things started to get messy for the protagonist.
We see an introduction to his gigolo life, the male escort at the top of his game. On the other hand, we are also introduced to the victim whose life has been a mess since the death of her first husband. An outrageous idea is suggested to her and she is ready to bring Emanuel into her plans to bring her daughter closer to her.

A story with a male escort, a rich wife, and a traumatised daughter doesn’t always go right and when you insert a murder case in the same then you will have a story filled with steamy scenes and an intriguing plot. While it is no lie that when the show began I got some 365 days vibes, but without the mafia.
However, as the story moved further, it was definitely something more. The story does make you interested, and the sensual scenes… well let’s leave that to you.
The character development of Julia is the most shocking of them all because she definitely reminded me of why silent kids should not be provoked. She really showed us the dangerous side of love that can burn a person and the people around them.
I wasn’t expecting the suspense to give me such shocks, especially at the end when the truth is revealed, but not to all. The ending really made the ratings for this show go up because that stole the show.
The last episode made me feel like everything is finally falling into place and that there are no loose ends to this show, but I was so wrong and it was the ending that made this show really worth the watch.

Summing Up: Diary of a Gigolo
Firstly, a warning that this show contains nudity and has an 18+ tag on it.
If you are looking for a suspense-filled show with steamy scenes then this is the show for you. It will give you enough of both and won’t be a waste of time, at least the ending will not make you feel that way.
So while there are a few things that can be really disturbing, you will find out about them in the first episode of the show. And I’m aware that not everyone will be okay with what really goes on with the protagonist, but if you are okay with overlooking all this then it is worth streaming for the plot.
Diary of a Gigolo is available for streaming on Netflix.
