I thought that Anatomy of a Scandal was very well done across the board. No spoilers from me.

Yes, it's very good. I was pleased to see Lady Mary from Downton Abbey in the role of the prosecutor. She's an excellent actress. |

I grew up on a cattle ranch, with real cowboys and around loggers. Lived in Alaska for 20 years with Commercial fishermen, miners and oilfield riggers. You don't know what "bad" language is... <G>

I liked the series, too, but I did find Ruth rather repugnant - indiscriminately rude, hostile, and foul-mouthed. It was difficult for me to feel much sympathy for her because of that.

Is Happy Valley available on Netflix across the pond? I am rewatching it right now - best UK police drama in some time.

Is that any good? I checked the description but saw the dreaded word: 'superhero.' That's usually a bit of a dealbreaker for me.

Marvel/DC it ain't. It is weirder than snot.

My wife and I were big fans of Ozark...and with all the repugnant, immoral characters on that show, i.e. the Byrds, Ruth was our favorite character...she deserved much better than she got.

We also just finished "Anatomy of a Scandal" and found it very good.
Yes, the preponderance of the F-word seemed a bit forced at times and I found it distracting at times, but overall it was a very good story. Best, PJ

As for Ruth, I think when filmmakers go for a gritty, realistic character we are supposed to like, they tread a thin line: make the character too 'nice' and we don't believe them; overdo do it and they repel us. I think it was the latter case with Ruth. She was clearly meant to be a hard kid with a fundamentally good heart, and I sensed I was supposed to be behind her. However, they laid on the expletives and the nasty attitude with such a huge trowel that, for me, she ended up as downright obnoxious and not in a good way. |
