as they investigate a string of rapes in Colorado. Though they don't yet know who Marie is, the rapist they're hunting is the same man who attacked her. Once he's apprehended, the detectives uncover evidence that vindicates Marie, proving her story was true all along.
One of the great things about streaming services that drop all of the episodes at once is that it changes how the viewer consumes it. What we learned from Netflix, as we were figuring out how to plot out that first and second episode, was that a lot of their viewers watch in two-episode bites.
Yeah, I think people who are new to [the story] feel a little less confident at the end of the first episode.What kinds of conversations did you have with Lisa [Cholodenko, who directed the pilot] about how much of the assault to show? The first episode also shows, in really vivid and awful detail, the process that victims have to go through. Marie is forced to retell the story again and again to the point where it almost feels like a sick joke. Can you talk about how you depicted that reality?
One of the most powerful lines in the show is when Marie’s lawyer notes that nobody ever accuses a robbery victim of lying. This is a really big question, but do you have a sense of why there is this systemic tendency to disbelieve sexual assault victims? There was a real key in [Armstrong and Miller's] reporting to how I decided to portray him. I'm not sure whether it was in the article or the book, but it describes the moment in real life when he finally finds out what a huge mistake he's made. He's described as being absolutely devastated, and I kept that in mind from the get-go. I thought, This is not a bad man.
