I can already feel my headache rising. I just watched a new show called ‘Submission’, which recently started on Showtime.
The series follows the journey of Ashley, played by Ashlynn Yennie, from being in an unhappy relationship to her exploration of BDSM, when she stumbles upon an erotic novel called ‘Slave’, by enigmatic author Nolan Keats. If you haven’t seen the trailer, you can take a look below:
Now, here is my take on the show… While being a far cry better than Fifty Shades of Grey, Submission still sucks.
As if things with this lifestyle aren’t getting bad enough, with all of the fake Dominants and submissives being created from the Fifty Shades of Grey series, THIS crap has to come in and ride the coattails of FSoG. And the Nolan Keats thing was stolen from The Story of O, in my opinion.
The whole show has a softcore porn feel to it, coupled with yet another piss-poor depiction of this lifestyle. My exceptions to this are Skin Diamond and Ashlynn Yennie (and in case you’re wondering, yes, I made the same exception for Dakota Johnson). They are both incredibly hot, and thus, can do no wrong. And Skin Diamond has actually BEEN a submissive, so that’s another plus for the show.
I honestly believe that this show is going to do for this lifestyle what FSoG did before it — spawn a new generation of fake Dominants and submissives that have no knowledge and little appreciation for this lifestyle.
None of this is going to be a good thing for this lifestyle, in my opinion. In any case, have you seen the show? What do you think about it?
