Politics and scandal aren't strangers, but they're increasingly tough bedfellows. In the trailer for Netflix's Anatomy of a Scandal, Chris Clarke (Joshua McGuire) notes that the scandalous behavior of the entitled "is something the public no longer finds cute."

How right he is.

The titular scandal swirls around James Whitehouse (Rupert Friend), a Minister in the British Parliament accused of sexual assault. As he fights to clear his name and save his marriage to Sophie (Sienna Miller), Whitehouse falls under increasing scrutiny and faces a judge (Michelle Dockery), who promises not to be lenient.

The limited series Anatomy of a Scandal hits Netflix on April 15.
