Plot Synopsis

Loosely based on the life experiences of writer, director, showrunner, and executive producer Rightor Doyle, BONDING is a dark comedy series that centers on the relationship between two former high-school BFFs -- Pete, a recently out gay man, and Tiff, a grad student and secretly one of New York City's top dominatrixes -- who reconnect in an unexpected way years later. Now struggling to make ends meet as a waiter, Pete takes a job working for his friend Tiff -- aka Mistress May -- in her sex dungeon. Pete gets stage fright, a customer's phone number and a lesson in tying knots. Tiff consults with Daphne, a prospective client. Then, Tiff and Pete run into an old -- and very drunk -- acquaintance. On Wednesday, April 24, 2019 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, Netflix released all seven 15-minute episodes of BONDING's first season.
