There is absolutely nothing wrong, per se. with this new Netflix adaptation of Lady Chatterley’s Lover. I just thought it was totally pointless.
Emma Corrin, who uses they/them pronouns and may well be by some distance the most talented actor of their generation, is really very good as Lady Constance Chatterley; in fact I would describe their performance as the quivering, thwarted, yearning ‘Connie’ as faultless. Jack O’Connell is fine as gamekeeper Oliver Mellors. The Derbyshire-born actor is also hugely talented, but he doesn’t have much of a chance to express himself with any range in this role as generic sexy peasant hunk.
