Anatomy of a Scandal (Season 1)

Anatomy of a Scandal (2022) is a Netflix limited series you can watch online on iFILM, directed by SJ Clarkson. Sienna Miller, Rupert Friend, Michelle Dockery and Naomi Scott lead a cast across six tightly wound episodes. The setup: a senior British minister named James — Oxford pedigree, a wife who adores him, an apparently spotless public life — finds himself charged with a serious crime against a woman he claims consented.

His wife Sophie insists it cannot be true. Prosecutor Kate Brassard has seen this type before and disagrees. The series splits its time between the courtroom and the past, peeling back the story of how James became the kind of man who expects doors to open for him — in every sense. Naomi Scott plays the complainant, and the writing refuses to simplify her into a symbol, which is the show's sharpest move.

Based on Sarah Vaughan's bestselling novel of the same name, the series works best as a study in entitlement — how elite institutions protect their own, and how the same charm that wins elections can hide something uglier. Stream all episodes of Anatomy of a Scandal (2022) online on iFILM.
