The series gained good traction after the first half. Production quality was top notch, though was shot a bit dark for my tastes. I think it was a challenge to take the original material and work it into a less Cronenberg and more 21st century theme. I believe it was a success and was just as interesting as the earlier film. I've long been an admirer of Rachel Weisz and was really impressed with her in the dinner scene in episode four at about the 39 minute mark. That's the one that rings award nominations for me. She has had many risky diverse roles in her career and this performance ranks among her best. Dark themes for sure, but executed really well.

Anatomy of a Scandal

Cinematography and editing excellent

What a pleasant surprise. Heavyweight acting fueled by really propulsive cinematography and more match edits to last a year. Could be called soap opera like, but hey, polished soap. Liked the script the acting and the superior production values.

Both leads are wonderful

Reading many reviews raving about the deserving and magnificent Jean Smart but dissing on Hanna E. Prompt me to comment. I think Hanna delivers an engaging performance that plays off well against the lead. She's acerbic in a really cute way. I think this pays off well in the first season finale. No reason her star will not shine brightly. Loved this series. Sharp, well written with a marvelous cast.
