It is an erotic drama that explores the world of BDSM and follows the journey of a young documentary filmmaker named Ashley (Yennie) to uncover the mysteries of the BDSM subculture. Ashley is struggling to find her place in the world and decides to make a film about BDSM, hoping to better understand the psyche of those who engage in this lifestyle. The series begins with Ashley attending a BDSM party where she meets a charismatic and handsome Dom named Dylan (Berti). Dylan takes an interest in her and introduces her to the world of BDSM. She is initially hesitant but after some coaxing, she agrees to become his submissive. Dylan is everything that Ashley has ever wanted in a man, and she is quickly drawn into his world of dominance and submission. However, things become complicated when Ashley discovers that Dylan has other submissives, including his main submissive, Jules (Joy), who is fiercely jealous of Ashley's presence in Dylan's life. As Ashley becomes more embroiled in Dylan's world, she begins to question her own desires and motivations. She realizes that she may have fallen in love with Dylan, but also that she may not be cut out for the BDSM lifestyle. The show explores themes of power dynamics, relationships, love, and consent within the context of BDSM. It takes a nuanced approach to BDSM, neither glorifying nor demonizing it. The characters are complex and multi-dimensional, and the show delves into their pasts and motivations, giving the audience a deeper understanding of their actions and choices. Aside from the BDSM theme, Submission also touches on other social issues such as sexism, power imbalances, and sexual harassment. Ashley's struggles as a young woman trying to make it in the filmmaking industry are relatable, and her experiences resonate with many women who have faced similar obstacles in their careers. Overall, Submission is a thought-provoking and engaging series that presents BDSM in a mature and respectful manner.
