"A very British scandal" is well made, has nice cinematography, good writing, with Claire Foy and Paul Bettany a marvelous cast who play (as usual) brilliantly. But the story itself is quit daft. We watch two rich, narcistic horrible people do horrible stuff to each other. And they do it without remorse and dont care about the people around them (Like him dragging his dauther into breaking in and stealing a privat journal. Or her ruining her stepmothers name and giving her father grieve). And they do it all, just to stay rich and have a noble name.
And in the end not much has changed. Both are still rich, still horible people and only care for themself.
The only reason to watch this story is a lust for sensation and drama and in the end we are left with a story that is just like its characters: Hollow with a nice wrapping.
