A Very English Scandal
Available on
BAFTA-winning Welsh writer Russell T Davies (It’s a Sin) and Oscar-nominated British director Stephen Frears (Philomena) unite for this salaciously-good series that crams a decades-worth of deceit and debauchery into three energetic episodes, contained within which are two revelatory performances from Hugh Grant and Ben Whishaw. Scandal never looked so sublime.
