Liar Monday 9pm

[troodiedoo]

I'm sure there are many planning to watch this tonight but I can't see a thread, apologies if there is one.

Looks promising with good acting stock. I'm already worried about the implications for real life reporting and conviction rates if the female is lying. Got a feeling it won't be that black and white though.

If you post on an open forum like Mumsnet you have to abide by the rules. They are called talk guidelines. You can't just post what you feel like - though it does give a flavour of what you are like in real life.

Well said Graphista

There was an interesting piece on radio five live today about male rape and how this is generally unreported and seen as taboo.

I see

Male rape.

My bingo card is now full.

Why can't rape of females be discussed properly and in a grown up manner? What are certain type of men and their acolytes so afraid of?

I'm fucking flouncing out of thread.

Too close to home all this shit now. Can't even just discuss a TV program without it starting to turn into a bitch fest.

Stupid fucking email alerts

It was the son

How does that fit in with the Dr and the spiked drink then?

It was the son

What? Who raped her? How? She remembers the rape fgs and he has admitted that he had sex with her. It took place inside her flat- why are people suggesting that the rapist was the son/the BIL/some random who works in the shop down her street?? How on earth would they get in for a start?

Hillingdon, of course you can post what you like but if it goes against talk guidelines then expect to be challenged, reported and deleted.

You didn't answer my question by the way.

Because even subconsciously, nice looking Doctors aren’t rapists - only teenagers or taxi drivers.

All the myths, the misdirection and apologism must be challenged - every time - it's the only way it can change.

Prosecution and conviction rates for rape, sexual assault even csa are appallingly low.

I agree @Graphista really shocked at some of the comments here.

Spiked drink red herring, he is an addict?
Increasingly impressed with this series.

Twofalls, I have seen some awful posts on the subject of rape on mn, given its a site dominated by women I really had hoped for better but clearly rape culture and internalised misogyny is more common than I feared.

A PP said they had seen an interview which said that we find out halfway through who was lying and then it turns into a thriller. I don't think there will be a twist with a third party or that the drugs were for him. He is capable of rape and getting away with it, there are ?s over his wife's death; what will he do to her?

The victim blaming rape apologist posts on this thread are disgusting.

Hillingdon if your son is accused of rape, he probably raped someone. Your views are disgusting, and I'm fearful for any dil you may eventually have.

The comments about the Dr being too good-looking to 'need' to rape someone is exactly what Ched Evans said in his defence, iirc. 'Why would I? I can have any girl I want'.

Indeed waterlego.

Kudos to Ioan, playing a rapist can be tough. A lot of people mix up reality and screen.

Has it finished. I don't like watching it, too uncomfortable.

That girl who was pregnant looked way too young, like Y9

Very surprised he needed to behave like that anyway, hard to understand why he had to do that to her and his mindset

It finished and it showed that he DID SPIKE HER DRINK . The surgeon DID rape her !!! Not the son it was Andrew who raped her !! Not sure what half u guys have been watching ! There is obviously gunna be another series as it was a shit ending and left open for another series

Yes I knew he spiked her drink but hard to fathom why he needed to rape her.

There’re still three episodes to go, mum

Wood. Because he is a Bad Man. Sometimes Bad Men are easy on the eye, rich, famous, successful. They still do Bad Things, because that’s who they are.
