What is it about?
A respected London surgeon’s affair with his son’s fiancee turns into an erotic passion that threatens their lives.
Obsession and forbidden relationship
Although Netflix recently canceled Sex/Life, one of its successful erotic dramas, the platform is releasing a new one that could be classified as “soft porn” with the 365 Days trilogy, Lady Chatterley’s Sweetheart, Dark Desire, etc. . The list grows with the addition of the soberly-titled series Obsession to Netflix’s catalog.
This erotic thriller is an adaptation of the novel damage Published in 1991, Josephine Hart tells the story of how an early-life British politician brings about his downfall through an inappropriate relationship. The book was already adapted into a film by Louis Malle in 1992 with Juliette Binoche and Jeremy Irons.
In the series by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm and Benji Walters, the hero William Farrow (Richard Armitage) is not a politician, but a famous surgeon, who we see from the first scene successfully performs a difficult operation to separate Siamese twins.
William Farrow leads an almost perfect life with his lawyer wife Ingrid (Indira Varma) and son Jay (Rish Shah) and daughter Sally (Sonera Angel). Everything changes when he meets Anna (Charlie Murphy), Jay’s new girlfriend, at the doctor’s party. The attraction is instant and both will be obsessed with each other.
So much so that even a formal family meeting between Anna and Jay won’t stop the young woman and the surgeon from engaging in a passionate and sadomasochistic adulterous affair, while a secret threatens them. All the themes of erotic thrillers run there, between lies, betrayal, domination, sex and crude dialogues, and are covered with tense music to create suspense, extreme close-ups and tired looks.
Divided into 16+ categories on Netflix, Obsession is a hot series, you guessed it, and should therefore be aimed at an audience that likes this kind of “soft porn” content that can be viewed quickly. So it is with this British thriller, as it is a mini-series of only 4 episodes, each averaging 40 minutes.
The Obsession series is available on Netflix.
