TCA 2017: Moira Buffini reveals new show took language from popular annual called “Harris’s List of Covent Garden Ladies” “Harlots,” the upcoming brothel drama from Hulu, was inspired in part by a book described by executive producer and co-creator Moira Buffini as a “London guide to whoring.” Speaking Saturday at the TCA Winter Press Tour, Buffini said the show took language from “Harris’s List of Covent Garden Ladies,” an annual travel guide of sorts in the late 1700’s that tipped men to the best brothels in the city.
