Netflix’s new four-part series Obsession explores a BDSM affair.
The four-part thriller is a contemporary adaptation of Josephine Hart’s 1991 novella Damage, and tells the story of an illicit affair - with a BDSM dynamic - between the enigmatic Anna and her fiancé’s father William.
Hart’s novel has been adapted for the screen before - the 1992 film Damage starring Juliet Binoche and Jeremy Irons as the two leads. But this adaptation is quite different. Feminist playwright Morgan Lloyd Malcolm - who has adapted the plot for this versions - has shaken things up. 'I loved the book, which is an amazing page-turning, erotic thriller, but it was written entirely from a man’s point of view. Anna, his lover, is portrayed as a kind of vamp who comes into the family, blows everything up and then disappears. Her primary function is to serve the purpose of what the male lead needs.
The result is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that sheds light on hot topics, from gender politics, to power and consent in adult sexual relationships.
