is a fearless inquiry of modern-day consent, gender dynamics, the imbalance of power and the path to recovery from trauma. Creator and star Michaela Coel unapologetically articulates the psychological implications of varying degrees of assault in twelve deeply cathartic and sharply clever episodes on HBO.
Arabella’s response to the realization that she was raped is fragmented.

Coel trusts her audience to recognize and empathetically connect with the show, which sheds light on a number of imperative societal changes. It’s uncomfortable to openly speak about consent, sexual assault, and rape in public forums, but that makes it all the more necessary. Because if something feels wrong, it likely is.to destigmatize discussions of sexual assault on a mass scale.
