Default A Very English Scandal

I just binged on this mini-series from the BBC on Amazon Prime. It is the shocking true story of the first British politician to stand trial for conspiracy to murder. Jeremy Thorpe (Hugh Grant), the leader of the Liberal party, has a secret he's desperate to hide. His ex-lover Norman Scott (Ben Whishaw) is putting Thorpe's brilliant political career at risk so Thorpe schemes and deceives until he realizes there's only one way to silence Scott for good.

There are only 3 episodes so it is quite comfortable to watch in its entirety in one or two sittings.

Hugh Grant was fabulous, as was Ben Wishaw. Highly Recommend.
