Gripping watch , wonderfully acted . I think the accent is deliberate and what you might get from a London resident Australian who had spent time in Canada and USA. Her performance is mesmerising and what is so interesting is that the victim here is stroppy , unlikable, furious and bloody awkward - far from the stereotype of 'innocent ' and sympathetic crime victims .
Got to agree with others, the accent is bloody annoying, although am I wrong in assuming she may in some part ‘be on the spectrum’ hence the difficult behaviour.
Watching it with Mrs DG, only finished the second episode; I think we may be lucky, in that we have no idea were this is going as strange as that sounds.
Contrary to what we are told, we think this year has been a good for year real life and fictional televised crime dramas; finishing on a high it would seem.

I thought the same. That said, I know from personal experience that people will serve anxiety / PTSD will often mask it with anger, trying to shut down the conversation before it becomes too painful for them. She came across a 'bit spectrumy' at the start, before it turned nasty, but certainly more PTSD towards the end.

Her vulnerability was exploited by her attacker, as well as her unwillingness/inability to get rid of him and to seek external help.

Didn’t finish the first episode it just cannot have happened like that.
Shes not totally mad and his really obnoxious behaviour would end any new relationship.
Are you sure of that, usually if something doesn’t sit easy with me, I’m easy to dismiss it. Being attractive to a much younger man, along with her own unusual personality, could have skewed things a bit.Shes not totally mad and his really obnoxious behaviour would end any new relationship.
I’ve met some women, (often well educated) who seem to make some very odd partner choices, almost as if opposites attract; eventually things always end badly and its of to the bad choice races again.
I guess the documentary will make it clearer.
