T he series sees Findlay play Charlotte Wells, London's most coveted courtesan, who is stuck between the feud of rival madams, newcomer Lydia Quigley Lesley Manville and Charlotte's own mother Margaret Samantha Morton. Plus lots of women bursting out of corsets, topless men cavorting in bed, and ladies slapping one another. W ritten and directed by an all-female crew, executive producer Alison Owen has promised Harlots is angled from an entirely female gaze.
Combating controversy over the largely female nudity glimpsed on shows like Game of Thrones , Owen also promised just as much male nudity on her series as there is female. But co-creator Moira Buffini has insisted the show is more than just titillation. Nobody wants to see a timid piece of work, and we're all motivated by things we see around us in the world today.
