Submission

Looking for a bit more kink in your soft core? Well, here it is.

While there is regular softcore straight sex, the whole point of this series was to get into some BDSM content and ride the 50 Shades wave.

They have a couple of surprising relationship twists, but mainly a woman coming off the breakup of an unsatisfying relationship with a bad boyfriend moves in with a friend in a small town ... needing a job.

She finds a book called "Slave" in the house, and though she denies it to her friend and housemate, it turns her on in a big way.

THEN, she discovers the male author of the book lives in town and is in the social circle. Have some patience. It takes into episode four before those two "get together", but it's worth the wait.

Yes it is. Severe nudity and sex, nothing but just nudity and sex scenes. This is a "big porn series" with a storyline for sure. It teaches you how to "dominate" and how to give a sexual pleasure to women. Torture, threesome, dominant, anything you see in a porn clip will be in this tv series too. The show somehow indicates than women enjoy sex and they want to be dominated, but in fact they don't. Most women don't like those sex in this show and they certainly do not like to be treated like a sex toy. Watch the finale episode to see a dramatic turn. The ending indicates that there should be a season 2 but no it's just one season TV mini series.

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.

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

Based on the first episode, submission seems to want to bring porn to something like the old MTV series Undressed. So basically you have some sort of "comic" exchange between characters, and then there's some nudity, and then some more "comedy."

The series is competently filmed and acted, but the writing fails to make any of it interesting. As for the porn, well, it's kind of unsexy. Like the dialogue, it feels like it's just there because they decided to make a porn comedy and thus they are contractually required to have some sex and have some banter.

For what it's worth the creator of this series writes and directs hardcore porn and in that field she's won a number of awards.
