Quirky premise, simple characters...somehow...I can't look away. Really enjoying it, I've binge watched 6 episodes in a row. It's very light-hearted really, an easy watch. The main actress is pretty easy on the eyes too which helps. I think there are only 8 episodes which is a shame, I hope they make more. Very watchable.

This is my first review after what? 10? 15 years. I don't know. I really enjoyed this series. It's like a cross between the good place and Juno. The characters are likeable the adult references are appropriately timed. Thoroughly enjoyable.

A smart entertainment resulting of the unexpected third kind encounter between The Monty Python, Zed from Pulp Fiction (Quentin Tarantino, 1994) and the complete YMCA (Village People, 1978). A female dominatrix working at night in New York City asks her best high school friend to become her right-hand man. In short: she's a dom, he's gay. So, be prepared for a 100-minutes sheer lunacy as obscene as entertaining.
My favorite quotes, as a not exhaustive list: I'm a dom, not a prostitute. Is the « I'm sorry, I hate apologizing » gluten free? Blow jobs are like the AirBnB of sex but anal is straight home-owning. Get in the f*king chair, Doug! She a flower made of steel. You look like Wonder Woman at a funeral. Life happened to me, so I thought « Fix it! ». She tickles me until she gets mad, and then she hits me. You are not Christian f*king Bale.

Season one was very enjoyable and had wit, humor, and good writing.
Season two started off OK, but then took itself far too seriously and was just boring to watch.
I was really hoping that Tiff would end up alone. She was far too manipulative and hypocritical in season two.

My only complaint is that the episodes are TOO SHORT! This is a super witty, and sexually freeing show. I hope it gets lots of positive attention and keeps going. You've got fans amongst our group ;)

Bonding surely has intriguing premise. It touches a taboo subject in a light and enjoyable way.
I loved their "dark" comedy! It was fresh and funny 😆. Both story and characters were built nicely too!
I can't really see how they gonna pull off their second season, but still looking forward to it.

Right from episode one I was hooked. Yes it plays on stereotypes but the show does deliver a message in an interesting manner. I don't think it's meant to shock since Netflix viewers are already used to such outrageous and daring scenes. Take orange is the new black for example. Instead, the show delivers new fresh content that has something for every viewer and it does so in a 'noire' genre of comedy. If you're looking for a show, with a twist of wit, that makes you forget the daily grind, then I would highly suggest this one. The episodes are short, however they do not disappoint and hopefully there will be a season two! Don't take my word for it nor any other reviewers', simply watch it and enjoy!

It's an extremely simple series, it's not a series to keep with you for the rest of your life, but it's certainly one that's worth watching, the totally opposite protagonists create an incredible dynamic, as the whole story promotes itself, it's a BDSM comedy/drama, that doesn't force sex or anything like that into the middle of the plot, I loved it when I watched it, and I miss more series with this sexual humor.
Anyway, if you want to laugh while watching something that you want to know how it will unfold, this is the series, watch it, even watch it with your friends if you want, it will be worth it.

Hilarious and attention grabbing. I dont think I've ever taken to a tv series so fast before. Already hanging for season 2

This is one of those shows that start out good (or not so bad) but then come with a second season, since the first one went quite well, and mess it all up.
The first season made sense and had a story to tell. Despite Mistress May's. Constant grumpiness and her "why am I even here" face, it was entertaining and enjoyable. It is different from what we usually see, so it provokes some interest.
The show has a lot of potential but the characters are not particularly likable and it really looks like they didn't know what to do after the first season. In season 2 it turns a little bit into a disconnected mess full of clichés and lackluster political statements.
The cancelation of season 3 is probably for the better.

Loved season one it was new, interesting and very funny. The episode's had no fat on them, they didn't fall into the traditional format of use sitcoms/dramas.
Then season two through all that out and added all the traditional stuff in. The way the creator took the criticisms by the BDSM community has affect season two and not in a good way. Season two goes out of its way to correct the mistakes they made and in doing so made the season dull.
The over correction drags and slows the second season down. Now I don't know the BDSM scene and I wouldn't know if the first season portrayed it correctly, i wouldn't care either way, and from what I read it didn't, but I wasn't watching the show for a real portrayal of the BDSM scene, if I wanted to know about it I would watch a documentary.
I laughed during the first season but not has much in the second, I looked at my phone during the second season, I didn't in the first.
Also the writing to me isn't as good as the first, the plot twists can be spotted by a blind person, they are that signposted it's like a man talking over the scene say take a note of this it might become relevant later, wink.
I also noticed that what happens to one of the leads also happens to the other, for example if something good happens to one it also happens to the other and it's they same if something bad happens.
I would recommend watching the first season 100%, the two leads are really great, they are soo watchable and pull you into there lives and you care about there friendship. The episodes flyby and you notice and you wish they were longer, whereas season two they episodes appear to drag, and the plots write themselves, the setups for later episodes are so in your face it's disappointing, only watch season two if you have to. If there is a season three well, I think I already know the arc and so will you if you watch season two.

Other than the complete butchering of what the field of psychology is, this show is fresh and funny as heck!!
Problems with portrayal of psychology: -you go med school to become a psychiatrist, you go to grad school to become a psychologist.
-you definitely do not do a thesis on your own personal experiences that led you to want to become a psychologist
Not that I'm expecting this show to be super realistic but come on!

Quite a funny and unique show to watch for fun. Doesn't present any new ideas to the table of film making or to the viewer, but it still is a simple and enjoyable film to watch.
A project involving antics like these, with satisfying performances, while maintaining a sense of authenticity is a challenge. But they've managed it.

First of all, in second season Pete is a little annoying and forced funny character. First season he was ok but in second i really can't stand on him. Also unfortunately 3rd episode of 2nd season, I didn't still understand what is the story here.
I liked it first season but I will not say to same thing for second. 7/10 for only first season.

Pretty Girl. Pretty Boy. Friends since High School. Now, a Dominatrix and Psychology student and Her Assistant and Waiter. Good little actors. The Supporting Cast makes them shine. Sexual desires of people hidden and exposed in a light hearted way. They show 1 dark side at the end, still with some humour to lighten it up. 7 Episodes Flew Right By...More Please. It was so easy to watch, laugh and pity at times.
I found it funny with likeable characters.
An easy watch to pass time. Definitely binge worthy.
But I found the whole character story development rushed and a little forced.

Glad to see Season 2 was improvement. Improvement in that actual consent was discussed. In Season 1, Tiff (Mistress May) failed miserably at showing how a Dom should be. It kind of was embarrassing. I was glad to see from the very first episode those moments were redeemed, and it was strongly explained how a Dom becomes worthy. There was more discussion and education this season on the lifestyle. Making it very clear it shouldn't be misrepresented or viewed as a joke. I was able to enjoy the show more because of the proper representation. Hope there will be a season 3 with even more growth. Pete still has lots to improve on.
I'm 3 episodes in and don't think I can watch anymore 😩. Seems that the characters that were prominent and so endearing in the first season have taken a back seat and I haven't laughed or felt squeamish once in this new season - feel Like it's an opportunity lost and don't think I'll revisit it again ! Will just pretend it's a one season deal and rewatch that 👌🏻
