No question that the CTS performers are attractive. I've always thought that this program is Russian rather than Czech. The outdoor prologues show canals, and so I thought this was shot in St. Petersburg.

Look, I don't run any porn sites, I just give them legal advice and representation, but I've always had the sense that if the producers of this content would invest in some typical American furniture and the odds and ends found in a typical American bedroom or dorm room and, using the same talent, do a second shoot for the American market with a background that looks believably American instead of distinctively East European, Former Soviet Block, the content would do really, really well here. The mood and feel of Sofia, Bulgaria or Odessa or Bucharest or St. Petersburg may be very pretty in its own way, but it's all alien to Americans and that can get in the way of its impact. It puts Americans off because they have no cultural mooring to the setting. The furniture does look peculiar to Americans. No doubt that this is high-quality, and if the age stuff is as they say it is - no reason to doubt that - a small bit of planning for the US market could make a big and profitable difference. Good luck to them.
