The female stars of AnatomyofaScandal on David E. Kelley’s latest conversation-starting thriller
, out April 15 and destined to top Netflix’s Top 10 list for the foreseeable. The series is, of course, based on Sarah Vaughan’s 2018 bestseller probing the nature of consent via a Westminster scandal, which fortuitously came out precisely three months after the #MeToo movement first exploded.
