The part was badly written. Ridiculously implausible that she would continue to sleep in the same bed, and continue to be pleasant even affectionate after everything she learned.

Isn’t the prosecuting lawyer Dockery? I’m confused.

***SPOILERS***

I liked the series. I thought every actor was great. I think Sienna Miller is a timeless beauty. I am a woman. However, I am struggling with the way people are blatantly referring to both scenarios as rape. I think both scenarios are quite grey. I wanted there to be a definitive “no” uttered from both women but there wasn’t. It was hard to despise James because neither women uttered “no” or “stop”. And yes, in fact, Olivia did say she said not here which to me does imply “yes, I wanna bone you but not right here in the elevator.”

I am all about believing women but if we continue to put out narratives like this as being definitive rape, we are setting ourselves up for failure. I have a son and a daughter. I want my son to know about consent just as much as I want my daughter to use her voice and state definitively when she’s not comfortable in a situation. Yell loudly, “no! Stop! Rape!” So there can be no uncertainty from anyone.

While I’m on it, and expect to be flamed, I’m also unsure why James was being carted off by police at the end. Sure running away when your friend jumps to his death could “maybe” be a crime (failure to report?) but I don’t see what the charge would be, especially 20 years later with no eyewitnesses. Same goes for the Prime Minister. Again, I wanted to hate them both. The Libertine scenes screamed of images from Kavanaugh high school and college days. I just wanted it to be more black and white.

The Prime Minister bought the heroine. And James lied and coveted for him as well as disposed of the leftover heroin.

I understand. Again, 20 years ago with no witnesses. I’m sure there are statute of limitations for buying heroine and running from a scene of a crime charges (again, there would still need to be witnesses or any evidence other than hearsay). It just made the whole series unbelievable to me. It should have ended with just a tabloid publication. That’s enough scandal.

I binged it yesterday and loved it!

SPOILER ALERT

I loved that Sophie didn’t turn Kate in! She learned about her own privilege as well as her husbands. I do wish they’d included one scene about Olivia’s reaction to the verdict.


But all in all, an excellent short series. I wish the US would start making more short series.

There are tons of US mini series. Also this was done by an American and Candadian.

Not good ones and none I can think of recently.

hello?
did you miss her VOMITING in the sink?



Nothing zen about that.

And then she went to bed and didn't care that he was there. Made no sense.

To me it wasn't Kavanaugh. It was the societies at Cambridge, Oxford, etc that were being referenced.

Not everything is about US politics.

Yes, that set design is spectacular. I want it all!

I know. So nice to see a beautiful older house with a mix of furnishings.
