"in the game" of this TV show. They are not a part of the story they are telling. They are on the sideline.

Here, "the seedy world" refers to the disreputable milieu that a prostitute must often inhabit in society. And "sidelined" means deliberately not included in the story, although normally it would be considered part of such a story. The suggestion is that this has given a false impression of a call-girl's life.
