And no one’s disputing evidence (including first-hand victim accounts) of Armie Hammer‘s disturbing sexual psychology and behavior. Then again bondage, discipline and dominance is a game…a weird game that has never seemed the least bit intriguing to most of us, but a game nonetheless. Yes, ignoring “safe words” is wrong and contemptible. Yes, Armie made his own bed — no one to blame but himself. Yes, the history of the Hammer family is a perverse one.
Nonetheless there’s something about this Discovery+ trailer for House of Hammer that feels a wee bit tacky and tabloidy. The three-part documentary series will launch on Friday, 9.2.
