I see Sky Arts are screening "Prisoners of war" in May ( Homelands is based on this Israeli series. Has anyone seen it and know if it is as gripping as Homelands ?

It wasn't rape, not least because she didn't shout stop at any point. But it didn't look like wholeheartedly consensual sex to me - not least because at the beginning of the episode she appeared to have a partner - who could have been reasonably long-term.

They were presumably consensual partners 8 years previously but I'm not entirely sure I'd switch back on to sex with a long absent husband (or anyone else!) with no preliminary discussions or foreplay. Though from his point of view, I can see the assumption could be made that nothing had changed.

It's an interesting facet of the situation.
She tried to fight back, he got more violent. Surely going by your logic, if a girl is too scared to talk it's not not rape. then? (This is a gruesome topic so we probably shouldn't go too in depth)

Evening, yes I am.

I have already seen it at US pace but it's so good I'm watching it again.

It was simultaneously amusing and horrific. I think I ended the series feeling slightly more kindly disposed towards Mark, but he really is an idiot in may ways.

Season 1 has 12 episodes. Think the finale is 1.5 hours.

The wife reminds me a little of Ashley Judd - but not quite as special. In fact, she's the only actor who doesn't quite convince me

I don't know if it is just because I get so engrossed, but the commercial breaks seem to come very frequently.
