For those unfamiliar, the story is a psychological thriller and a gritty courtroom drama. As the Netflix synopsis explains, the series "infiltrates Britain's elite through personal and political scandal, where the truth lies between justice and privilege. James and Sophie Whitehouse live in a blissful and rarefied world.
"A Minister in Parliament, a loving family at home, James' trajectory appears without limits. Until a scandalous secret suddenly comes to light. Barrister Kate Woodcroft has a trajectory of her own, and her prosecution threatens to tear into Westminster, the Whitehouse marriage, and her own personal esteem."

Sienna Miller recently opened up about her role as Sophie Whitehouse in the drama, explaining she could relate to some of things her character goes through.
Speaking in this month's Elle magazine, she said: "It was familiar terrain, because I've experienced some of the things that she experienced. And the feelings were familiar. [But] her way of dealing with what's thrown at her is the absolute antithesis of what my way is. And so, in a kind of twisted, tourism sense, I just wanted to see how it would feel to react differently."
