Netflix’s Vladimir is a sexual fantasy fairytale for midlife women - and here’s why we deserve it

Rachel Weisz as The Protagonist and Leo Woodall as Vladimir in Episode 108 of Vladimir.

Vladimir is Netflix's latest bingeable offering, and the title could really be 'A profoundly accurate glimpse into the life of a middle aged woman.' But that's probably too long, and the mention of 'middle age' would render it invisible, which is what we are.

And actually, while the eight-part series does an incredible job of reflecting the lives of midlife women straight back at them, it comes with something we don't have in abundance: A massive does of black humour and the ability to gaze lustily at Leo Woodalls groin.
