Submission

I love the movie. it seems that the reason behind the plot is that she wanted to create a better version compared to 50 shades of Grey.The series co-creator, Jacky St. James, mentioned that she was unhappy with the way BDSM was portrayed in Fifty Shades of Grey, which she considers "passed off an abusive relationship as an honest interpretation of the BDSM lifestyle". She hoped to create a more nuanced view of the BDSM world with the series. The lead actress Ashlynn Yennie also echoed the creator's sentiment saying, "Fifty Shades of Grey was not a correct portrayal of the type of sex that people practice. It made it seem like it was for people that were messed up or dark and it's not at all." She hoped that the show "can shatter that glass ceiling of false belief and show the world what it truly means to trust, communicate, and finally feel free to talk about what you want and don't want sexually in a consensual and healthy way." Well she got it. I agree it is better then 50 shades of Grey. wished there were more episodes though.

So... How is 'Submission' better than the Fifty Shades series? The series co-creator, Jacky St. James said that It (Fifty Shades of Grey) made it seem like it (BDSM) was for people that were messed up or dark and it's not at all. In my opinion, Elliott is more cunning and messed up than Grey. 'Submission' gives the impression that this kind of sexual practice is not for people with a dark past but for tricksters and womanizers. Additionally and more importantly, it nuances that hierarchical relationship in the bedroom is extended to the whole relationship. The dominant, Elliott, is violent, coercive and selfish in daily life as well, and in many cases this is not true. Main characters' acting is sub-par and even annoying. It's funny that regular or day-to-day scenes are worse than sex scenes.

Not sure why it's taken so long to get a show on the air that includes BDSM. I guess the popularity of Fifty Shades of Grey really proved that there is an audience for this topic. Submission is a decent show, it certainly keeps me coming back for more. I'm craving to see more of the Dominant/submissive dynamic and the show seems to be going in that direction. The first episode was slow, but the show gets increasingly better as the series goes on.

I like the fact that there's a solid story-line for this late night show. Too bad there's nothing out there on dominant women... I would find that infinitely more interesting.

I do find this opportunity to give a smattering of that other world of Bd/Sm public viewing, a chance for adults to relax and perhaps reminisce; although lack of full nudity (Americanism)was a minus, the story has its merit's The actors fit their roles very well, the half hour segments were not long enough, plus repeats of the previous showing were, I thought too much, Has there been any S/m shown; Hardly, the bondage is a little lack luster, Skin Diamond was a diamond in the rough!! Finding Ashley is a gem also.. The Master(Dom) relationship also needed some more thought than that which I saw in the four episodes.

A side from tits and ass+a few brief crotch shots,this show has really nothing going for it.At least not from a my point of view. The whole BDSM thing is rather poorly scripted.I'm far from any expert on the subject,but this is to soft and to cuddly.Only thing missing is a big fluffy teddy bear.

Most of the cast seem to be quite fresh and relatively unknown,which is a good thing,cause than you often avoid overacting I feel this series was made for lonely housewife's. It's very stereo typical. The women are always sexually frustrated, but able and willing,and the male is always very fit. Would be nice if they could mix it a little bit more up.

But the most funny part here is that the so called master really have very little to bring to the table. First of all he look like the pizza guy, in Fast times At Ridgemont High. Second, his slaves don't respect him at all. Not to mention he goes to great length to give the women orgasm.While hey have to do very little for him,except be there and spread their legs.Gotta be the worst domination in history. Also he doesn't seem to have a lock on his front door.

As someone else pointed out in here..Watch basic instinct instead,there you at least have intensity and chemistry
