September 29, 2022 - 12:36 BST Francesca Shillcock Karen Pirie's leading star Lauren Lyle has opened up about the personal connection she has to her"meaningful" role in the new ITV drama.The actress, who is also known for starring in Outlander as Marsali MacKimmie Fraser, was chatting ahead of the release of the new series when she praised the script's focus on a woman's perspective.
Lauren added that the perspective of her character led her to ask her partner his view."Something that a lot of men have asked me is, 'Is Karen fiery?'", she explained to the publication,"And you would never ask a guy that, 'Is he fiery?'. I asked my boyfriend what he associated with 'fiery' and he said, aggressive. Karen's really not. She's smart and hopeful.
And it seems the crime drama has gone down well with TV fans. Taking to social media, many were quick to share their praise. One person wrote:"#KarenPirie is perfect Sunday night viewing imo. Really cleverly adapted script with a surprising amount of warmth for a dark crime story. And the bumbag? Iconic."Another said:"Well, #KarenPirie lived up to expectations, with the added bonus of the opening scene taking place just outside my #StAndrews student flat.
A third tweeted:"Unlike so many crime dramas, this feels so different and the acting and writing, everything feels like you're coming through the tv screen. Smashing." Like this story? Sign up to our What to Watch newsletter to get other stories like this delivered straight to your inbox.
