OMG, you have a great memory! I knew I recognized her but couldn’t place it - Brideshead Revisited! So is she actually Sienna Miller’s MIL?

I was a PP who didn’t felt she was far too calm early on, but the horror of the situation did seem to eventually dawn on her. Sienna Miller did a great job, especially in the last episode.

I absolutely loved their house and her clothes. Swoon. I didn’t find James to be particularly attractive. Something about his face really turned me off.

I agree with the PPs who said the ending was implausible (arresting him for a 20 yr old incident with no eye witnesses or proof). Very silly. I also agree with the poster who pointed out that there’s just far too much gray area here to call this “rape.”

Final thought - I absolutely hate the British tradition of barristers wearing wigs in court. Could they possibly look any more ridiculous…

And “Cousin Susan” Flintshire on Downton Abbey.

Yes! She has such an unpleasant face and voice.

I’m only one episode in but I love it. I think the lead actress is doing great. She’s publicly trying to hold it together but she’s broken on the inside. I like her subtle expressions. People like that are intriguing to me because I’d be the opposite, a big ball of angry/hurt emotion.

This. He was supposed to be this good-looking guy but he wasn't. He's a good actor though. I also thought Miller did a good job in this.

It devolved into a soap opera.

Phoebe married the director of Brideshead Revisited, Charles Sturridge. Their son Tom is the father of Sienna's daughter.

This was a bit silly in the end. I didn’t love Sienna Miller, but I think it was the way the character was written. The prosecutor is a terrific actress and I really kept watching for her.

You should have listened more carefully. Her character explicitly says that she was trained from an early age not to show emotion, not to react, but to be in control.

I'm sorry but I find Rupert Friend immensely attractive. I think it was his role on Homeland that did it for me - he was amazing in that. Such a journey. And who couldn't love all that thick, shiny hair of his ? Yes please.

Try "Mrs Palfroy at the Claremont" for Rupert with long hair.

It’s worth watching Homeland for the seasons he’s in (which ones I can’t remember) but Rupert Friend was amazing.

+1 I found him quite attractive as well.
