The creators of Netflix’s international drama series Criminal say they’re “not interested in black or white guilt or innocence…The fun of the show is in the audience being a sort of jury. We want that ebb and flow of guilt and innocence”

created and premiered the “Criminal” franchise with a storytelling focus on a “did the guy do it or not?” traditional dramatic police premise, notes Kay. But at the heart of their inspiration for the series was creating “stories that made the police have to face their own morality and explore how they feel, not just what they do for a job,” he continues. The second season of “Criminal: U.K.,” streaming on Netflix almost exactly one year after Season 1, allows them such an evolution.

Two of these four characters confess to crimes by the end of their episodes, while Horgan’s character’s behavior is determined to be reckless enough to bring a case against her to court, despite her good intentions. Harington’s character is the lone one who appears to be innocent of the crime of which he is charged after his accuser is found not fully credible.

In crafting Harington’s episode, Kay notes one of the first things that interested him was how physical evidence is considered in the U.K. “A lack of bruising or physical evidence in a case like that should not be taken as a suggestion of a lack of a rape having happened, and at the same time, physical bruising or evidence should not be seen as indicative of a rape either,” he explains.

That is, in part, why detectives allow Harington’s character to deliver what is essentially a monologue, not only telling his version of events on the night of the alleged assault, but also after he learns he is being let go and is worried about those in his life not believing he is innocent, even though charges didn’t stick. It is also what leads Okonedo’s character to ultimately incriminate herself while being interviewed.

How Oscars’ New Inclusion Requirements Compare With BAFTAs’The Oscars' new inclusion rules are 'inspired by' but have slight differences from BAFTA's U.K. standards. More details: all i heard wuz beefcakee spetsznaa rushiaa ohhpp In zealous pursuit of ephemeral and arbitrary standards, which function to appease an insatiable mob, whatever scant legitimacy remains in an awards show will vanish quickly. That day cannot arrive too soon or with too much joy. James Earl Jones was Darth Vader. Billy D. was Lando. Morgan Freeman was Red. That was a change from the story, Red was written as white.

#Unbelievable: For Trump, climate change - like everything else - is not about the facts, it's about the fight.KatyTurNBC: 'The president does know the science ...which makes me wonder right now: if he's doing the same thing with climate change that he did with Covid?

Not All Childhood Abuse Results in Mental IllnessDoes everyone who experienced abuse or maltreatment in childhood eventually develop a mental illness? Here's what we know. Protective factors and adopting natural coping mechanisms are a factor. This is true enough. It's the treatment you receive at the hands of government and the police that does that... Every FCUKING time... No recovery... Just withdrawal... Angst and hatred... Waiting for the bomb those bastards built to explode!...💣💥😠👍 What has helped me most is to think of my issues is as a scarcity of resources. It takes most of the hurt away.
