Synopsis

Catherine and David, she a doctor, he a professor, are at first glance the perfect couple. Happily married with a talented teenage son, they appear to have an idyllic life.

Catherine finds herself ‘directing’ Chloe’s encounters with David, and Chloe’s end of the bargain is to report back, the descriptions becoming increasingly graphic as the meetings multiply. —IMDb

Great dramatic irony. And a very good job on Chloe's part baiting the good doctor.

Oh, I do understand it. It's just so pathetically over the top that it becomes comical.
