A Very British Scandal

Screenshot from A Very British Scandal

Where: Prime Video
What: Miniseries, 3 episodes, 60 mins.
When: Now
Genre: Historical drama
Why you should watch: The Crown’s Claire Foy is very unqueenlike (only a duchess this time) as the wife in a nasty couple whose ugly divorce splashed across the British press in the midcentury. The pre-swinging ’60s fashion and art direction are as intoxicating as the ever-present cocktails. This scandal is of the brooding type, a slow burn with no apparent good guys, just stylish rich Brits behaving badly.
