I had enjoyed James Spader's performance in the tv series "The Blacklist" so got ahold of "Secretary" to watch when I had time. Goodness, that'll teach me to not look up plots ahead of time. And when I was partway through I started noticing similarities. (I ended up googling it as I hadn't seen or read "50 shades of grey" but I'd certainly heard enough to notice.)

Strange as it seems, "Secretary" is a much more healthy relationship and a better power dynamic than "50 shades"
