Vladimir, based on Julia May Jonas’s novel of the same name is stupendous, sexy and smart. Into this heightened cauldron of emotions, walks in the devastatingly handsome, Vladimir (Leo Woodall), the newly hired assistant professor for the English department. M finds her life coming unravelled as she is increasingly obsessed with Vladimir even as her family constantly calls and messages her. There is also the name Vladimir, reminding us of Vladimir Nabokov and Lolita with the tables being turned and the man being the object of desire. Her behaviour gets increasingly erratic as the series progresses, but if this be madness, there sure is method in it.
