Upon its debut, the series sparked controversy, with some accusing it of beautifying and misrepresenting the reality of sex work.

Lead actor Billie countered the criticism at the time, asserting: "We've only been exposed to the drug-fuelled, sex traffic side - but the fact is, there are middle-class, cultured, well-read women who take part in this job."

Secret Diary of a Call Girl seemed to leave critics divided, with Buffalo News branding it the "perfect raunchy summer television".

The San Francisco Chronicle added: "Some people believe there's a self-satisfied gloss to Secret Diary of a Call Girl that undercuts its ambitions, but more often, there's surprise at how much you've underestimated its quality."

Meanwhile, other critics felt that the show lacked interest and "didn't reveal many secrets".

Viewers were a lot more praising of the "deliciously wicked" drama, with many sharing glowing reviews on IMDb, comparing the series to Sex and The City.

One viewer enthused, "I found this show very funny and scarily honest!!" while another shared, "Always enjoyable and frequently jaw dropping, Secret Diary will invite you into the secret of an industry and will open your eyes to those ideas and possibilities you were always uncertain about."

Another fan expressed, "I recently watched this TV series and loved it. It was funny, entertaining, and had lots of romance and drama."

Echoing the praise, a fourth viewer said, "I managed to watch the entire show, all four series, in the space of one weekend. Billie Piper was flawless, Iddo Goldberg was brilliant and Cherie Lunghi was perfect.

"I loved this show, definitely one of my favourite series out there, and probably will be for a long time. The series is down to earth, gritty and real. I guarantee you will fall in love with the character of Hannah instantly."
