The Seduction (2025)

Following Starz’s attempt at showing us the backstory behind the playful sexual rivalry between Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’s Marquise de Merteuil and Vicomte de Valmont, HBO Max is taking a stab with its own prequel Dangerous Liaisons, a series also known as Merteuil. Before she was bestowed with that name, she was Isabelle (Anamaria Vartolomei), a poor orphan with no social status who falls victim to the rogueish Vicomte de Valmont (Vincent Lacoste). As he has done with many women before her, he woos Isabelle, beds her, then promptly discards her, causing her to be kicked out of the convent that housed her. But Isabelle waon’t giv up so easily. She goes to his aunt, Madame de Rosemonde (Diane Kruger), and demands retribution. Clocking the young woman’s fire and beauty, Rosemonde agrees to take her under her wing, introducing her to Paris society so that she can find a wealthy husband. The premiere episode kicks things right into gear with Anamaria’s left nipple and bare buns as Valmonte hits it and quits it. When she secretly witnesses Diane about to get it on with two dudes, Anamaria does a little funtasizing of her own then later gets an eyeful of other boobage at a sex party. Anamaria’s overspilling corseted cleavage alone is enough to please your oui oui!
