Where Does the Truth Lie? Netflix Releases Trailer of New Courtroom Thriller &#8211; Anatomy of a Scandal

Netflix has a slew of content lined up for its viewers, one of them being
Anatomy of a Scandal. The streamer just released the trailer for it. The British
courtroom drama is based on Sarah Vaughan’s novel of the same name. The trailer
doesn’t reveal much apart from a sex scandal surrounding a politician. The
setting is Westminster, London which explains the bleak lens and grey skies. It
is equal parts a courtroom drama and a psychological thriller.

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

James Whitehouse is a minister in Parliament. His position lends him immense
power and he decides to abuse that power. But his position also means that he
also has a lot of enemies who are vying for his post. A scheme lands him on
trial where his extramarital affairs and sexual assault on a woman comes to the
light. On the brink of losing his job and position, he now also has to come
clean to his wife, Sophie Whitehead. Sophie is still grappling with the truth
that her husband may not be the man she thought he was.
