The new Netflix comedy Vladimir stars Rachel Weisz as a professor whose latest obsession is a new professor named Vlad (Leo Woodall). While the show is all about sexuality and desire, there are some weirder elements with Vlad and the Protagonist’s relationship.
Vladimir follows the Protagonist (Weisz) as she is navigating her husband’s public affair. The twist is that she knew about it because they have an “agreement.” This all leads to her obsession with a new professor who comes to town with his young wife (Jessica Henwick) and child. But for every “good deed” the Protagonist does for them, it only happens because she wants to get closer to Vlad.
