The author of the popular Harry Hole series – now a hit Netflix show – recounts being mistakenly arrested in Oslo. He explains that a police car drove onto the sidewalk and officers immediately ordered him to turn around and put his hands against a wall.

I just finished reading this book and wow, it really got to me. It’s about a 13-year-old girl in a really conservative part of the South who finds out she’s pregnant. And a well-respected doctor is risking everything – potentially a serious felony – to help her. It’s set after Roe v.

It’s a really tense story because of all the legal risks involved, and it feels incredibly relevant to what’s happening right now.

I noticed a younger colleague – a bright, professional Gen Z employee who seemed like a good person – rummaging through her bag. “Okay,” she said, “let’s see…” and pulled out her phone.

Producer Jane Fallon was part of a young team brought together by renowned TV producer Tony Garnett to film a script by Amy Jenkins. Fallon recalls their goal: to create something fresh and original. They aimed for a realistic, unstereotypical style, and wanted the show to feel a bit unconventional. Luckily, the BBC gave them a lot of creative freedom because the budget was limited.

This new take on the story, called The Seduction, is designed to attract viewers to the HBO Max streaming service. It’s a reimagining of the original, focusing on Madame de Rosemonde – a supporting character in the previous version – and starring Diane Kruger.
