Gigolos is an American reality television series about the lives of five male escorts in Las Vegas. The series follows the men, all employee s of the same escort agency, through their daily lives and interactions with each other. Cameras also follow the escorts on their appointments with women, including their sexual activity. The series debuted on the premium cable channel Showtime on April 7, 2011.
Gigolos has been met with critical confusion regarding the legality of the activities it portrays and amazement that women would consent to being filmed purchasing sexual services. Critics have largely been sharply negative, although a few have offered the series guarded praise.
Showtime ordered a second season of eight episodes, and it debuted October 20, 2011.
