Anatomie d'un scandale

A plot that was going well, discussing the gray area that was established in the first episodes, and then suddenly devolves into a puerile and ridiculous ending!

An amazing actress that can carry a show.

Truth be told Sienna Miller was, until a few days ago for me, just a name and face that rings a bell. Looking through her filmography, I somehow missed everything she was in. Her performance in this is addictive, she was the main character for me.

Remarkable story and very entertaining. The first episode was worrisome and looked like becoming a soapy, but from episode 2 to 5 the story became a court case which was not far fetched and was a good reflection of real life. The sixth episode was a misnomer and should not have ended as it did. This episode is pure fiction and impossible to happen in real life.

Surprised by all the negative reviews! I just finished this show moments ago & I was captivated by it!

It feels like in this world the victims don't win but in this story they actually do, which though perhaps unbelievable (as many have stated here), is refreshing to see. I'd like to live in a world where victims speak up and are heard. Where bravery & truth are rewarded...

Anyways - I really enjoyed this show and was hooked immediately! Easy to binge (I did). Great acting, wonderful cast and you really see the development of the story play out...Siena beautifully displayed the stages of grief in a way that felt real to watch. Bravo! This show was also good at helping the audience trade allegiances. While at the beginning you're rooting for a man's life and family to remain intact, by the end I'd be surprised if you didn't feel differently. Where at first it seems the lines of truth & fiction are blurred...as the show progresses it's easy to draw a conclusion at to what actually happened. They sell the story well in that aspect.

Concerning the subject matter, as a sexual assault survivor myself, I often find shows revolving around these themes to be hard to watch, but for some reason I did not find the show triggering. I felt that it conveyed the gravity, tragedy & reality of sexual assault in a way that I was able to stomach. Which I think here is important to note.

Ultimately this is a very moving, powerful story of a woman choosing to do the right thing & prioritizing justice over loyalty. Highly recommend.

People seem to be disappointed especially by the end ; it's a shame though that the series doesn't end with satisfaction to the audience , it's well-paced, n with smart dialogue and a hood sienna Miller and the cinematography is thoughtful yet ONE BIG blunder is the twist at episode 5 ( not necessary and really far fetched ) which spoils the narrative ; still worth watching though.
