For those that saw it, I'd be interested in hearing people's opinions/reactions of the portrayal in Secret Diary of a Call Girl.

I really like the series and I thought their portrayal of BDSM was in its point of view accurate but irrelevant for me. There was the bit where she dommed her tax-guy and couldn't handle it. I thought that was a sensitive and not demeaning portrayal. Of course then in the recent season there was the bit about her being almost forced to submit to a guy and that i didn't like so much. It was just overdone for me.

I liked the series as well, although I didn't see the second episode you referenced.

Interesting take on the scene where she loses control. I think you're right that the overall portrayal was not demeaning or offensive but I thought her easy loss of control was somewhat of a trope.
