In general, this series is really good research for our Grad Film as each episode deals with something different regarding the sex industry.
The episode I found particularly relevant is episode 5, which is about a cam girl named Alice, who has a regular viewer who wants to take their relationship to the next level. This viewer sends her a lot of money and pays for different things in her life, hoping that this is sealing a romantic bond between the two of them, even though Alice is married and he knows this.
Basically, the episode shows Alice's life on cam, and her particularly close relationship with this regular viewer, leading to him paying for her to go visit him. It indicates how cam girls can become a huge part of their viewers lives, ultimately leading to the viewers expressing intimate feelings although they barely know each other.
I found this all particularly interesting as it shows how cam girls are actually an important part of people's lives, and are not just viewed as sex objects for people to masturbate to. The man in this particular episode explains how he has romantic feelings for Alice, and that they have a friendship and often just video chat for general conversation and not just sexual gains. This subverts the typical view that cam girls are just seen as sexual 'objects' that make money by stripping and performing sexual acts on camera.
