Netflix‘s new limited series “Vladimir” is a contemporary erotic dramedy set largely on a college campus. Based on author and series creator Julia May Jonas’ novel of the same name, the show follows an unnamed female professor (Rachel Weisz) who, in the midst of the legal fallout of her husband’s (John Slattery) numerous affairs with past students, finds herself obsessively attracted to the university’s young, handsome new writing professor, Vladimir (Leo Woodall).
An unrepentantly horny exploration of desire, lust and the personal freedom that can be found by indulging in those feelings, “Vladimir” punctuates its eight episodes with a number of both classical and modern pop needle drops. Case in point: The series’ first episode features tracks by both Johann Strauss and Chappell Roan. That sonic variety reflects both the timeless nature of “Vladimir’s” story and its distinctly modern sensibilities in a post-#MeToo academic world.
