    It expands upon the theme of sex as a weapon, and it makes no effort to soften that sex for TV viewers. It understands that carnality can be a potent dramatic theme, not just a source of titillation. The plotting is dense and propulsive. LaCoste has the lip-curling sneer of a young Alan Rickman, who actually originated the role of Valmont on Broadway.

    The Seduction is a good looking series with fine performances and enough kinkiness to satisfy fans of boddice-ripping period dramas.

    The Seduction almost certainly won’t be for everyone. Its characters are largely selfish and unlikeable, its midsection gets a bit draggy at various points—the show is probably an episode too long—and its themes are certainly not what anyone would call subtle. But there’s something deeply appealing about its determination to plot its own path. And, like the heroine at its center, it mostly finds its way.
