Mixed thoughts in this one.. as a story it makes good sense . The "did he,didn't he do" is one thing but the "would he do it" is much more relevant. Some episodes sag a a little bit here and there and the reveals you can foresee from episode three on. Sienna Miller plays the conflicted wife very well whos priority is not the preservation of the lifestyle but the future of her children take centre stage with the flash back scenes putting everything in perspective for her as the case rolls on. Apart from the accusation the marriage and the law this really shines a light on the privileged, the absolute horrendously spoiled appalling people who go on to run the country who are thought at a young age they can get what they want when they want..something a good hiding from time to time would have knocked out of them... couldn't help picturing the likes of a young Boris Johnson or David Cameron in their youth
The series however weakens here and there but is saved by Michelle Dockery who is compelling as the prosecution barrister with a secret. She shows real acting chops and I'd like to see more of her and this character in a tv series of her own... like a Kavanagh QC
It's an easy watch the with the lead "Tory charming husband" putting in a very David Tennant like performance the guy being easily likeable at the start which quickly changes as it trundles along to completely despising his self importance and absolute arrogance.
Not bad a bad .. but editing to 4 parts would have sufficed..
