What happens when a dark scandal of the political elite comes to light? That's the premise of Anatomy of a Scandal , a new political thriller series available on Netflix from today, Friday, April 15.
This small screen adaptation of Sarah Vaughan's best-selling book details the shady inner lives of Britain's Westminster political elite as they try to repair their shattered image. This six-episode show, coming from Big Little Lies creator David E. Kelley and Melissa James Gibson, is “part courtroom drama and part psychological thriller.”

Trying to deal with the chaotic aftermath of her husband's awful misdeeds being thrust into the limelight is his wife Sophie Whitehouse, who's played by actress Sienna Miller.
