There are three things we can rely on as millennial humans of the earth; Asteria, Netflix and Wi-Fi. With that being said, one of the above has been making international headlines once again and we delve into the intricate workings of a newly released series to have debuted in April 2019.
Netflix recently introduced a new series into its vast catalogue which shines light on the underworld of bondage in the bedroom. The series, cleverly named ‘Bonding’, entails several episodes in one season, the first season was an absolute hit amongst viewers and here is what you need to know about the show.
The Storyline
The story follows a female psychologist student moonlighting as a dominatrix who fulfils sexual fantasies of both men and women without physically being intimate. She hires her lifelong best friend, who is in desperate need of money after being cut off by his parents, to become her ‘helper’ slash bodyguard while acting out her role as a ‘dom’.
The dark comedy has drawn all sorts of viewers in and those who would have never thought to enjoy the underworld of BDSM, have found the humour in the series and have expressed their appreciation for a surprisingly refreshing series.
Fun Facts
The script is based on the true life events or experiences of creator, Rightor Doyle. He was the body guard of a Dominatrix at the tender age of 22 while trying to make it as an actor in America. The dominatrix was and still is Doyle’s friend, however fans will be sorely disappointed if they expected a real name as the writer and actor will not release it to the media.
What Rightor Doyle did reveal however, was that his ‘Tiff’, the lead actress of the series, and was nothing like his friend who is more joyful and friendly. The actress who plays the dominatrix in the show comes across quite hard but yet darkly appealing.
The Fans and Their Reviews
According to a number of prominent sites, fans have expressed their feelings. Some have stated that they were initially intrigued by the name and look of the series, and Netflix having the great reputation it currently holds today, they clicked on it. Each episode is roughly fifteen minutes long, enough to get you into the series and wanting to click on the next episode.
Although it isn’t all fun and games in the bedroom for the creator of Bonding. He expressed his feelings on the critics who flood his inbox daily and has said that he receives the criticism fully and appreciates what everyone has to say. But we think the public have had their say and most are in favour of the light-hearted and open minded series. That Netflix has adopted the show, this is another surprise and gladly accepted by the audience.
What We Know About Season 2
Fans will be delighted to know discussions of season 2 are already in the making and it will only be a matter of time before the next season is available on Netflix.
