Yet another Me-To story with a misandrist plot.

Anatomy of a Scandal is a British drama miniseries based on the novel of the same name by Sarah Vaughan.

I suppose women might be more predisposed to revel in its themes - but, I think men might enjoy gaining some insight to the way some women think.

There is an additional sub-plot regarding the behaviors of wealthy, privileged, white, heterosexual. etc. individuals which I suppose most people would not necessarily be interested in - especially when some of them end up with a happy ending.

The acting is good and I think that makes the series worth watching.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story in itself is not that bad. But what is very annoying: how shallow the whole court case is being portrayed, how dumb the questions of the defense attorney and and prosecutor were. Another thing: Why did the prosecutor even take that case? She could have just said that she once knew the wife personally, nobody would have asked anything else.… Expand

How many more series can we expect about people of great wealth and privilege whose lives are scarred by moral lapses - and when the male is a government high-flyer, and he is charged with rape, must we return again and again to a situationHow many more series can we expect about people of great wealth and privilege whose lives are scarred by moral lapses - and when the male is a government high-flyer, and he is charged with rape, must we return again and again to a situation in which the man is determinedly foul and unarguably guilty? Is there no write who might find a new way to explore this terrain without resorting to the tried-and-dull path of far too familiar? In Anatomy of a Scandal, the actors do their level best to transcend the cliches that both follow and precede most of their screen time. Finally, who cares a whit for the smarmy, arrogant and overprivileged monied class that Netflix shovels our way with striking regularity.… Expand

Anatomy of a Scandal is dramatic miniseries that senselessly prolongs its stay by not being able to address with the necessary strength its central issue, which desperately cried out for a better handling of the plot.

Besides the fact thatAnatomy of a Scandal is dramatic miniseries that senselessly prolongs its stay by not being able to address with the necessary strength its central issue, which desperately cried out for a better handling of the plot.

Besides the fact that its conclusion never sought to do more than look good to the audience and give them the feeling that somehow there was justice. It's not a real waste, but it does ask you to spend a lot of time on something that could have easily been summed up in 120 minutes.… Expand

Barely bearable. It tries to be interesting and creating a flowing narrative of mystery, but it’s just a stream of cliches and bad acting. Sienna Miller and the lead male role are simply bland. He’s like a robot and she seems subdued.

They intertwine the new progressive topics with characters who are simply stereotypes.

Then whilst you’re trying to Wade through the meandering story, that could literally be resolved in 3 episodes. There’s these ‘inception’ style dreams that see the camera do a 360 or the character fall through the floor, or look at their past selves. It just seems out of place. They should have kept it simple, but had a solid story.… Expand
