Fifty Shades Darker as told by The Dom 

Grey... has a therapist? What kind of THERAPIST is he that he lets Grey DO these things? Did he get his degree from a university that Grey owns? Did Grey just find his old college buddy and say "you're my therapist now, here's money!"? Or (more realistically) does the AUTHOR just have no idea how THERAPY works?!

"She is overcome by her lust for him and they have sex. Afterward, she decides to let it go and Grey gets his way."

I legitimately think people did this mostly because you've concisely hit all the points of abuse, toxicity and flat-out bad writing in this book series in a logical yet entertaining fashion. So Y'know....out of respect. Only mostly for the suffering.

“Are you happy now, beautiful watchers?” *forcefully flicks cigarette at camera*

„I‘m not that kind of Dom.“ - I literally died. 😂😂

Your voice almost makes these books sound intelligent, like they're purposely written to showcase an unhealthy relationship between two human beings with screws loose. Too bad it's just a mediocre author's uninformed and ludicrous sexual fantasy with a "plot" taped onto it. This could not have been easy, The Dom. I appreciate your sacrifice in reviewing these books for us. We appreciate you greatly.

I don't think ice cream is supposed to go there. Also, that's the worst Ben and Jerry's flavor concept ever. Yikes.

With a minimal rewriting effort, one could turn this into a psychological horror story. You only need to change Anna's perception of Grey into that of a normal human being and suddenly it's about a young woman who gets stalked and abused by a wealthy and powerful sociopath,who can buy his way into the police department, doctor's offices etc. And if she tries to expose him, he hauls her off into the psychiatric ward. Just the thought of it is scary. Yikes.

Yes, thats how the British pronounce Oedipus.

So, his ex sub goes crazy & wants revenge? That sounds to me like a woman who didn't like being punished (just like anna) and thought christian was gonna fall in love with her after awhile (just like anna) but didn't & tossed her aside feeling abused & used. I don't think that's "crazy" i mean I guess it is but its also kind of sad..damn how dark

I was eating ice cream while watching this... :( my lady bits just reacted like a turtle’s head being touched... *shrinks back in fear*

Sigmund Freud would have a field day with Gray's character

An hour later after watching this I just had a thought - if Grey doesn't like using condoms and he doesn't want kids, WHY THE FUCK DID HE NOT HAVE A VASECTOMY?! Sure, they can fail (rarely) and a woman can get pregnant anyway, but men should be JUST as responsible for birth control as women. You don't want a kid? Go get snipped. It's easier for men to do that then it is for women. Just ask pretty much any childfree by choice woman - for instance, most doctors will give a man, married or not, a vasectomy without comment. But if the woman is married and wants her tubes tied most doctors require the husband to sign a permission slip. Not to mention that recovery time is a lot quicker for men and it's easier to get reversed should he change his mind. Granted, Ana should insist he use condoms anyway because of STDs - Grey's been a LOT more sexually active than her and could have something he's not admitting to. But if the dude is that concerned about making babies he should just go in for the snip and not force Ana onto the pill.

You know in the third movie there is a "melted ice cream=sexy times" scene and when he brings the spoon down to her croth level half the audience made some form of "eeew" noise. Also someone shouted "she'll get an infection"

Whenever I think I’m writing something bad, I just remind myself this exist.

In the wise words of Han Solo. Thats not how ice cream works.

Feel like we as a community should ship you a couple bottles of booze as an apology for you having to read this

7:41 Yes, you are correct. As a vagina owner who loves sugar, I want my sugar out of my vagina, where it won't cause a yeast infection, thank you very much. 11:17 So, I'm not a contraceptive expert, but does she really need the shot AND the pill? Depo-provera is 94% effective and birth control pills are 91% effective when taken correctly. Also, I don't think doctors just carry pills on them. When I was on the pill, my doctor had to prescribe them to me, then I had to go to the pharmacy and get them myself every three months. 12:42 In the wake of MeToo, I hope this doesn't need to be said, but, guys: If your girlfriend is being sexually harassed or abused by her boss, offer her support, understanding, and encouragement. Don't try to get him fired, don't tell her she should quit, don't pick a fight with her boss, and DEFINITELY don't try what Christian Grey does. 15:56 Ah yes, all Doms are villains of the week on Criminal Minds. You are so correct E.L. James, so spot on, this is how ABSOLUTELY EVERY DOM IN THE BDSM COMMUNITY IS 100%. (I'm being sarcastic, BTW). 18:18 Has this idiot ever heard of therapist-client privilege? Not only should the therapist not be going to his client's parties and messing with him, but he also shouldn't be divulging his darkest secrets to his client's girlfriend. 19:36 So I'm told that his helicopter crashes over Mt. St. Helens...what business does he have at Mt. St. Helens? It's a national monument owned by the federal government (for now). There's a geological institute there, studying the volcano, I thought Grey did random finance stuff? In fact, what is Grey's business? Wikipedia says he's an "entrepreneur", so what does he sell? At least with Tony Stark's bottomless checkbook, we know he's a former weapons manufacturer who had a contract with the U.S. Armed Forces, who also holds many doctorates in various scientific fields. WHAT THE FUCK DOES CHRISTIAN GREY DO? 19:40 HE CRASHES OVER A SEMI-ACTIVE VOLCANO WITHOUT A SCRATCH ON HIM? I've been to Mt. St. Helens before, if he crashed over the mountain, he should be more covered in ash than if he dumped a bowl of ashes on himself on Ash Wednesday. WHAT? 20:03 Is it really wise to fly low over a semi-active volcano? I know it hasn't erupted since 1980, but there was steam escaping the mountain in as recent as 2008.

In the 50 Shades Freed, Christian Grey came to his conclusion that he might have ended up like Jack Hyde due to the whole Foster care thing, and FINALLY realized how aweful "Mrs. Robinson" was when he has a child of his own, not wanting the same thing to happen to it that happen to him. In here, Ana sees that a woman who was once a former sub of Christian goes off her rocker and tries to murder them....WHERE IS HER EPIPHANY TO WHAT A PSYCHOPATHIC BAD DOM CHRISTIAN IS!?!?! Doesn't she ever stop to think: "Oh my god, that could have been me!" for one second?

Wait he comments that she's lost weight after three days? I'm just going to head canon that for the entire book she had a madness inducing tapeworm. It's the only thing that explains everything.

the ice-cream thing has inspired me to write a wikihow article on how to get a yeast infection would be way better than this book

7:28 I was eating Ice Cream at the time he said that, so my "NYAH" was probably worse than everyone else's. Thanks for that, Dom.

//record scratch// I bet you're wondering how I got here, beautiful watchers...

Freaking SERIOUSLY? 'Jack Hyde' JACK HYDE? OHMIGAHHH- subtly is just not a thing in this series is it? like someone is reading this book going "I wonder if Jekyll Hyde, oh I'm sorry, Jack Hyde is the bad guy!?"

So if grey acts like this when ana tries to interact with a man, I wonder how he would react if she was bisexual... Just lock her in his room I suppose?

How can this... thing... be written by a woman when even I (me being male) find it offensively sexist? It really sounds like a sex fantasy of a mentally ill, women hating potential rapist. Why did something like that go to print, get sold and made into a movie series? How deranged can humanity have become?

Are you sure we should be called "Beautiful watchers"? I mean, we're the ones who made you do this.

That Sigmund Freud impression just about killer me

7 minutes in, this summary is already worse than the first book's. How?! 8:30, now we got kidnapping! Oh joy! 9:40 ...You will pay my therapy bills Dom. 15:40 I...I...someone help Grey. He needs professional help. Also jail. Lots of jail

When your 50 Shades video came up in my recommendations last week, I really was wondering if you were *that* kind of dom! I've watched sooo many of your videos this past week, and you're definitely in my top 5 favorite youtube channels.

Oh poor Dom. It gets so much worse. And yes, I am looking forward to these. We love you and your suffering. BTW, I hated these books for all sorts of reasons and it's like the awful was so rampant I almost forgot the FORCED BIRTH CONTROL part of the book. Hormonal birth control can be crazy harmful on a woman's body and is a medical decision she and she alone needs to make but of fucking course E L James thinks it's "cute" that scumbag Grey is so controlling he thinks he's got ownership over his girlfriend's body and can force her into a medical decision all on his own. GROSS. (Slight spoiler for everyone: just wait until the harmful romanticization of trying to fix and love your abuser gives way for the harmful romanticization of marrying your abuser who you've known for like 3 months).

This is a bit long, and personal, but I really felt the need to say it. I discovered your channel fairly recently; about 2 months ago to be more precise, and boy do I wish I found you sooner. As a person who's been sexually abused in the past, and also happens to be religiously involved with the bdsm community, I always struggled with the thought that I will never be able to move on and enjoy my life the way I want to in a healthy way. These kinds of thoughts have been especially troublesome for me lately, but watching you tear a new one into these absolutely horrible books has been strangely therapeutic for me. Seeing someone ACTUALLY look and react angrily towards the abusive behavior displayed by Christian Grey is so relieving to me. I feel like I'm not crazy for feeling so massively insulted by these books and how misrepresenting they are. Other reviewers usually just make jokes or briefly mention the abuse (which is fine, these books are hilariously bad) but I always felt like they didn't quite hit the mark. Despite how mind numbing it probably was to read this series, I hope that knowing my experience watching these videos displays at least a bit of a silver lining for you. Keep doing what you're doing, and I cannot WAIT for the next upcoming videos!♥♥♥

What's even worse is that The Dom knows he'll have to do Fifty Shades Freed eventually. Might as well finish the trilogy since he's come this far.

I can't help but shake my head at the irony of the timing of this movie's release. Right now we are in the middle of an anti-sexual harassment movement with many young woman coming out about being assaulted or even raped by men in positions of power who used their power to get away with what they did. Yet that the same time woman are flocking to see a movie that romanticizes that very same idea.

You brave man.

I'm so sorry, but I cracked up laughing at "pound her like yesterday's beef." Not the context (gross) but the imagery.

It really disturbs me that a lot of people like these books and think that this is how a BDSM relationship works Im disgusted already and im only 8 mins into the video. You have my deepest sympathies for having to read that garbage fire of a book the Dom.

How the Hell is Christian NOT the villain of this series. It’s 50 Shades of too late to attempt “love redeems” with this character though honestly you can’t even consider this “love redeems” as Ana doesn’t even try to get Grey to see how much of an obsessive stalker psycho creep he is. Bella Swan has more of a backbone than this character and Ana is a rip off of her.

This sounds even worse than the first book. That's kind of amazing.

“#1 New York Times Bestseller” HOW? 50 Shades of Grey is the most abandoned book of all time!!!, How did Darker get on that list

I am really convinced that EJ James is portraying her own history in the book not realizing how much of an abusive relationship she was in. Trouble is I don't know if she's projecting herself onto Ana or Christian.

There are a lot of great things about this review but my favorite was your description of Freud and his Austrian/German accent. “Scheizza, girl get your ass out of there”. 😅 As someone attempting to learn German, I can appreciate the struggle

*sees subscription box* Huh. I thought he made a big deal about not wanting to review the sequels. *sees intro with Twitter post* ... I mean. You brought this on yourself, man.

Also it saddens me a little that the 50 shades video is your most popular as you have so many brilliant funny other videos

Confession: I clicked because I thought your initial 50 Shades take was going to be by a BDSM Dom, but was really pleasantly surprised at your well-researched opinions. Then watched your HP reviews, fell in love with Terrence, and have been around ever since. Honestly really glad you did this second review, even though I'm so so sorry you had to. Taking one for the team for the betterment of mankind. You're a gentleman and a scholar.

I want to say something apologetic and kind... *but sometimes it's good to see him suffer. Poor lad.* Also it saves me having to read this damned book.

You complaining about the book is far more entertaining than the actual book. Love your style, Dom. P.S I've always been confused at this book being sold as a female fantasy since the main female never seems to act like a real person is really just a receiver for male abuse and power-play. This seems more like a male fantasy for me. "I can do whatever shit I want and she still wants to have sex with me" sounds rather appealing if you have no morals while "No matter what I do, I have no power or rights and can't control my sexual urges" sounds like a living hell.

*She is overcome with lust for him and they have sex, afterwards she decides to let it go and Grey gets his way.*

As someone who first discovered your hilarious and unique channel from your original fifty shades videos I have to say I'm real glad to see you continuing on down this clearly terrible series. I know it must physically hurt but I and all the rest of us really appreciate you suffering through this for our amusement!

"The Dom" in the title was the reason why I clicked on the video, thinking it was a review from the expert in this particular field. Didn't get exactly what I expected, but enjoyed it anyway

You know I didn't tweet it out, but I still wanted you to do this. I'm sorry... But I'm also not. You always do a great job and I can't bring myself to read this slop so thank you for the awesome recap.

This book series makes me feel like my indulgent fanfic is high art, quite the confidence boost in a way.

Dom you predicted my reaction to the ice cream exactly! as soon as you said it i went "eurgh! *shudders*"

When you said there's a bit in the book where Grey's helicopter disappears without a trace, I got the wonderful image of Christian Grey burning to death in a crashed helicopter, knowing that not only will he die helplessly but he'll leave behind a hideous corpse for someone to find. It made me smile at that concept given the character as presented.

Happy "Day Before E.L. James doesn't understand this Human Idea called Love Day". Just keep Thinking "Tomorrow is the Day when I get cards illustrating Love & Affection that don't creep me out." Unless you're named Charlie Brown in which case you get NOTHING. :) Happy Day Before Valentine's Day The Dom!

I was eating Beef Stroganoff for the first time ever .... got to the "pound like" line and suddenly all appetite was gone .... thanks Dom .... lol brill video none the less ... I am sorry for the pain it caused :D

Love the way how she is supposedly amazed that Grey would ever be attracted to HER but meanwhile every single male character in the book is busy trying to schtup her.

I’m a survivor of abuse. There’s no way I’d be able to make it through reading these books because the romanticization of this kind of relationship would probably mess me up. There is something cathartic and comforting about listening to Dom vent about how horrible this relationship is and particularly about how Grey’s abuse as a child doesn’t justify his mistreatment of others. There are still some days when I kind of gaslight myself into having nostalgia for the how simple everything seemed when someone else had taken away my agency. I’m saving some of these videos for those times so that I can listen to a stranger with a funny accent passionately shout about how not ok abuse is. To me, Dom threads the needle really well with his tone. He’s angry at Grey, frustrated with Ana, furious at James, and still really gentle and compassionate to real-world survivors. Thanks Dom. I’m glad I found this channel.

I am so sorry for your suffering but I am more entertained by those videos than by all three books together (had to read them because a friend recommended them and told me the story will get better by each book. Spoilers! It won't!)

7:32 that made my skin crawl a little and made me gag.... that is not a place for ice cream.... still sick just thinking about it.

Honestly this series could have been saved if it ended with Ana just snapping and straight up killing Grey

The sass in this video is amazing!!

Everytime the Dom says "overcome with lust" take a shot.

"Scheizza! Girl, get your arse out of zer!" -Sigmund Freud

Look, okay, full disclosure. I'm a sub, and a masochist. This? This book is unacceptable, and a terrible excuse for BDSM. This is not BDSM, it's not even CASUAL BDSM. It's just abuse.

As someone who very rarely uses Twitter, I would like to say I take no responsibility for your having to review this tripe... but I will admit that I am enjoying watching the results. I apologize. STAY STRONG! THE FANS ARE WITH YOU!

I know he said he's not *that* kind of Dom, but if he ever decided he'd like to try something...Well, let's just say I wouldn't push him out the door (and that outfit isn't helping).

Everytime she "forgives him and they have sex" i slammed my head on the desk

You know, it would have been a wonderful twist for Anna if she knew how manipulative Grey was all along - went along with it for the job opportunities and money and once they were married started working with Jack to slowly poison Grey to death - thus inheriting all of his money... and living happily ever after.

I’ll never loook at tampons and ice cream the same way ever again. 🙄

I know I watch your "tear apart Fifty Shade of Grey" video multiple times when I need a reminder of why I should avoid this series like the fucking plague. Also I do it for the LOLS So I can't WAIT to see you tear apart fifty shades of darker-shit in the review!

"This apparently works." ... Well, the dude was emasculated by pancakes, so I'm not surprised he was offended by an extra long hug...

Long, long ago, I read this whole "series" on fanfiction.net when it was in the Twilight archive. And what little I remember tells me that there is more sex in the published version than the actual fanfiction version. Also, I now really wish I wasn't eating ice cream during the review.

Yusssssss finally Sorry Dom that you have to suffer for our guilty pleasure of seeing you ranting over this shit but it's worth it...at least for us

For the ice cream thing, yes I shuddered. But...does EL James realize she most likely gave her character a yeast infection?

7:28 Do you want a yeast infection? Because that's how you get a yeast infection.

I never asked for this, but I'll watch and like anyway to honor your horrible undertaking, and because I like listening to you rant about this, in as much a proffessional way as I'd expect from anyone who rewievs 50Shades

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but in both Twilight and Fifty Shades, the male lead's rival (Jacob/José) is an ethnic minority (José=Latino, Jacob=Native American) who doesn't seem to understand the meaning of consent (both characters try to force themselves on the female lead).

Anyone think of this was going to be a warning of Abusive relationships the Ex Sub subplot could’ve worked for character development for Anna she could see the exsub as what she would be if she lets Grey dominate her life an insane vengeful broken individual and it’s could’ve hung over her head throughout the rest of the books

How am I just now finding out that The Dom exists? God bless this wonderful, wonderful man.

I hit that like button before I even got past the first ad. That's good I knew this was going to be.

Sounds about right - From what I gathered from the CinemaSins version of this movie. I laughed a ton because of these movies... All thanks to Jeremy and his crew, none thanks to E. L.'s books/movies. With that said, thanks for this video, Dominic. I am awaiting the follow-up video with glee (Although, I must admit, I m a bit horrified that you have to go through this. Let's hope there's enough brainfood on your list to make you feel a little better). Praise the sarcasm in this video, though. I never thought I'd hear you say "Tap dat ass" or "Monster cock" any time soon. I am very amused.

You are a braver soul than I, Dom. A friend gave me these books free to read, and I could not finish the first one, much less the other two. (It also made me question if she's really my friend to give them to me. Pure torture.)

I think it should be implied for the rest of the 50 shades review's that the dom is going to suffer but instead of finding a resolution for the problem, we are going to have laugh about it in the comment section after which he decieds to let it go and the beautiful watchers get thier way.

Another issue with these books, is that books don't really have an age warning or anything? Or even display a warning? I actually read the first book out of curiosity over the media storm, when I was 12 years old,( note I stole them from my mum, not bought them in a shop. side note: MUM WHY) and didn't have a comprehensive understanding of what sex even was (beyond biological function (eg. penis--> vagina = babies ) It was pretty much my first ever reading of pornography. When I read the synopsis of the back it states no warning of any weird shit, my 12 year old brain just though grey was from the summary so dude that was a bit weird, and traumatized. (I think the blurp just stated that grey had 'dark secrets; lol you're telling me.) Luckily, I am old enough to know far, far better about toxic relationships and sex, but as a first influence, It was probably the worst influence a 12 year old girl could have. ESPECIALLY when it's some abusive/messed up version of BDSM. One that note, on the list scene where they 'review' the contract, I remember going down the bdsm stuff, with no fucking idea what any of it was, and being super clueless,lol (thank god I didn't have open access to the internet ) And when the first sex scene did occur, i was really confused why grey was so obsessed Anna was a virgin lol, and when the sex scene did start, it took me ages too realised what they were actually doing. (sex) as it held none of the words one would associate with the act (eg names of genitals ) due to shitty writing. It was also the first introduction to oral sex in the scene afterwards, and that absolutely horrified me once I found out what they were doing. The term 'popsicle' is forever ruined for me, thank god I'm English and the common term is lolly. tbh the american lingo in the book really confused me as it was also the first american set book i read so the pants/trousers stuff confused me and I didnt realise that americans call pants/knickers 'panties' which was a super funny word to me, so any time the word came up, it made me laugh out loud and lose all concentration, and ruin any scene that was occurring. I still can't take the word seriously, especially after I realised from cinemasins that most americans don't pronounce the 't' in the word, and call them 'pannies' or some variant. Either way, it's still the quickest way to get me to laugh.

*gives digital hug through the ether to console having to examine that book many times to create this video* Also, nice Pi Tie!

"Septic tank of a series" is hands down the best description of the series I've ever heard! xD

I was so pissed when these books came out because my name is Anastacia, I go by Ana and I have a cousin names Katherine Cavanaugh (Ana's roommate). Also I really enjoy fanfiction and this was so insulting to the community

I asked my boyfriend if he really thinks that you really wouldn't make another video on this shitshow and you uploaded that ten minutes later xD

"Im not that kind of dom" And your subscribers are not your subs, just your beautiful watchers. But would you have thought this through, i wouldnt have found your beautiful channel in the first place xD I love your videos. And i also love to see you suffer for us. Sorry, Dom

Reason why I love your Fifty Shades videos? I adore the fact that you know how bad of a representation it is for people who are into BDSM and the like, and how well you convey the fact that it does matter and that this book can be harmful. (I didn't retweet that tweet of yours tho.)

16:49 Sassy Sigmund Freud is my head cannon 😂😂😂

Love your show and wanted to tell you I thought it was amusing you discussed certain parts of the book and its like wait I read it and don't remember that. Man it must have mind numbed me that much.

I'm not defending that book in anyway but I think the reason why every problem is resolved so fast is because it was a (terrible smut) fanfiction, which is mostly based on sex - that would explain the lack of plot - I've been waiting for this & I can't wait to watch your next video!

"She went right back to letting him pound her like yesterday's beef!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'M WHEEZING

"My name is Dominic and I didn't think it through". Thanks for that clarification, I always wondered ;)

I'm in high school so I don't have money to support the Dom on Patrion. If anybody is interested in seeing him review any of the following adaptations please let him know. I would love to see these Lost in Adaptation episodes: -How to Train your Dragon by Cressida Cowell -Holes by Louis Sachar -Hoot by Carl Hiaasen -Alex Rider by Anthony Horowitz -Bridge to Terabithia by -The Giver by Lois Lowry -The Martian by Andy Weir I would really really appreciate it.

13:14 are you trying to tell me Claudette having breast cancer wasn't a great sub plot?? No matter how many times I watch it, that line really hits me. "Well, it's official, I definitely have breast cancer"

This book makes me want to write a book; just to prove I can do it better.

Yeah as an actual Sub/Little I want to state for the record that I find the relationship dynamics here horrifying.
