The second episode of Accused‘s second season, which takes a fresh look at crime and punishment centers on Taylor Schilling‘s character April, a nurse.
In each episode, which is set around a court case, we meet the accused person but don’t fully understand what they did or how they got to court. The truth is revealed through flashbacks, making the viewers reconsider their first impressions. One of the show’s main strengths is how this structure challenges our prejudices while also keeping us wondering.
