About
"Privilege, marriage, and consent collide in court"
A rising British politician is accused of a serious crime by a former lover, and the series follows his loyal wife, the prosecuting barrister, and the unraveling of a marriage built on privilege and secrets. Told through courtroom scenes and flashbacks, it moves briskly across six episodes, trading nuance for glossy tension. The pleasure is in watching entitlement crack under pressure, with strong performances anchoring melodrama that occasionally overreaches with its twists. It's less a rigorous legal drama than a soapy character study wrapped in a scandal.
the sharp performances as class privilege and personal loyalty are tested under courtroom pressure.
you want a grounded legal procedural rather than a twisty, melodrama-leaning character piece.
