I was just flipping through the channels on television late one night
when I stumbled upon this series "Payback" episode. I was ready to
turn my set off. I expected another boring late night attempt at
erotica, insulting and demeaning to women and to men. But then I was
enthralled by the beautiful woman on the screen!
I was surprised to see Alex Meneses in a production of this genre.
She's best known for family entertainment like Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman and Suddenly Susan. Hotline's "Payback" episode would have to be categorized as fantasy erotica.
Although classed as erotica, the episode I saw was not crude or
pornographic. It concerned a very plausible fantasy role play between
a loving husband and wife. There was full nudity, but the scenes of
nudity and lovemaking were graphic--tantalizing and highly erotic-- without being pornographic.
In fact, the things Alex Meneses said and did in this vignette made me
want to marry her and make love to her. Perhaps the best part is that I didn't feel like the stereotypical male ogling a beautiful female on the screen making love. Three cheers for Alex Meneses! She's just an incredibly sexy and tender lover here. That's why this show, or at
least the "Payback" episode, accomplishes what it sets out to do.
Although this isn't a show you'd want to rent for your three to five year old, it is worth watching with your loved one. It is creatively written and highly imaginative. A suggested serving for the viewer's own love life. I'm certainly keeping a copy for a dark and lonely
night!
