Here is a series, presented by Showtime, named "Submission." If you watched "Billions" this season, you know that they already have toyed with B&D/S&M. Then I saw that the name of one of the creators was Jacky St. James and I suspected the direction we were going. Still, I did not expect to encounter the terrible acting and silly, flat dialog that always accompanies porn, but there it was, in every scene. Yikes! However, following the wild success of the "Shades of Grey" series, and the release of the first movie installment, more than a year ago, someone was going to attempt to fill the void that nature abhors. At this point, 41% of the 29 people who rated this episode gave it a 10. A 10??? There you go! This is softer than hard-core porn, and harder than soft-core porn. What I do appreciate, as a woman, is that the first episode focused on female pleasure rather than the typical, endless pounding of most male-oriented porn that I have seen. There are plenty of exposed female parts, but no male parts, so far. I always find this interesting. It is supposed to be a tale of sexual awakening. Are they trying to awaken men to the fact that women are not enjoying having their heads slammed into the headboard? If so, awesome! Still, I just think that with their budget and access to actors and directors,they could have produced something really great. Instead, they decided to make the series appear low budget and vapid. I love that they tried but still, I know they can do better. Fingers crossed.
