We are watching this. I agree with the TV critic in The Sunday Times - the acting is awful!

Really got drawn into this series. Very topical: privileged white males at uni and then in parliament, sexual abuse, etc. "No means no" but surely the word needs to be vocalised?

I also enjoyed this series and at first I couldn’t remember where I’d seen Rupert Friend before then I remembered he was Quinn in HomeLand. I agree Sienna Miller is a very good actress, I will see if I can find American Woman.

I enjoyed it. Couldn’t figure out where I’d seen the barrister at first so had to Google her.

I started a thread when it was first launched on Netflix. I've read the book and seen the whole series now. Enjoyed both, yes drooled over the interiors too. In the book the prosecution barrister is the central character, in the drama it 's the wronged wife. Sienna Miller is a very good and underrated actress, I think she's suffered from having too much of her private life exposed. I saw her in a film on Film 4 a little while ago "American Woman" a million miles from this role she was excellent in it, she certainly isn't a one trick pony.

I enjoyed it. I read the book a while ago and enjoyed that too.

Anyone watched this? I thought Sienna Miller playing the cheated wife excellent. Loved the clothes, houses as well.
