The opening episode establishes the Argylls at the height of their gilded world - Margaret as the most photographed woman in Britain, Ian as the charming Duke whose cruelty is still concealed beneath rank and beauty. The social world is rendered with tactile precision.

Episode 32021-12-28

The finale forces the legal machinery toward its conclusion. The system's bias is laid out plainly - what was prosecuted as vice in Margaret was practised freely by men at every level of the establishment. The closing register is angry and earned.
