Basically, I agree with the concept, and I think it could go somewhere interesting like you propose... I just don't like watching the scenes and having the sensory dissonance where I know they want me to be enjoying watching Dushku in a sex scene (you can't argue that they're not filmed to be titillating) yet instead I'm revolted by the fact that this character is being raped before my eyes and the cinematographer/producer/director don't seem to appreciate that fact.
For the story, I think it could be great and interesting. I just don't think it's handled well on the technical side of things. I'll give them that it probably can't be handled appropriately on network TV, but that's no excuse to treat it like any regular sex scene.

On a different topic, I also think this show concept has limited life. To be done well, I think it should be 2, absolute max 3 network TV seasons. Of course, that's also just a personal preference. I enjoy shows a lot more than have fewer episodes per season and/or shorter life spans. They tend to have tighter plot focus.
