Netflix's limited series "Vladimir," adapted by creator Julia May Jonas from her debut novel, stars Rachel Weisz as a middle-aged professor obsessed with a younger colleague while her husband faces misconduct allegations. Though Weisz delivers a magnetic performance and the show addresses contemporary issues around changing sexual mores and power dynamics, the adaptation struggles with pacing, underdeveloped supporting characters, and casting choices that undermine the narrative's central themes.
