A Very English Scandal

This 2018 mini-series dramatizes the real-life story of British politician, Jeremy Thorpe, who in 1979, was charged with hiring a hitman to kill his ex-lover.  The story itself is bizarre, incredible and fascinating.  The mini-series, directed by Stephen Frears, is elevated by a sharp script, and superb performances by Hugh Grant and Ben Whishaw.

Here’s a link to a trailer.
