Overview

The Filth Shop drops viewers into a dingy New York apartment where Lola Lust, a temptress with a face only Hell could love, teams up with a giggling Beelzebub for a night of devilish voyeurism. This crime drama, draped in exploitation trappings, follows the pair as they light candles, check their 'files,' and eavesdrop on a parade of Times Square’s most salacious denizens. Their targets: young women abducted by a crime syndicate and forced into the world of pornography. With each sordid episode, Lola and the Devil crack wise and cackle at the debauchery they witness, all set against a grimy, underground backdrop. Expect a heady blend of sleaze, satire, and wicked commentary.
