TX Time: 22h00
Genre: Comedy-Drama
This frank and provocative series explores the question of sexual consent in contemporary life and how, in our modern landscape of dating and relationships, we make the distinction between liberation and exploitation.
When a piece of her writing garners online acclaim, Arabella Essiuedu - easily distracted, non-committal and carefree - finds herself fêted as the 'voice of her generation', with an agent, a book commission and a helluva lot of pressure.
But when she is sexually assaulted in a nightclub, her life changes irreversibly and Arabella is forced to reassess everything: her career, her friends, even her family.
As she struggles to come to terms with what has happened, Arabella begins a journey of self-discovery.
In the series premiere, "Eyes, Eyes, Eyes, Eyes": After visiting her aspirational long-distance boyfriend in Italy, writer Arabella returns to London, where she is greeted by a deluge of frantic messages from her literary agents.
With a matter of hours left to finish a draft of her second book, she plans to pull an all-nighter - but is soon tempted to join a friend on a night out.
In the second episode of the weekly double bill, "Someone is Lying": Lunch with Terry gets Arabella thinking about the hazy events of the previous night, prompting her to probe Simon for answers.
Growing increasingly desperate to put together the pieces, Arabella drops by Simon's apartment - and, later, finds herself at an unwelcoming doorstep.
Meanwhile, Terry has a lousy audition, and a concerned Kwame rushes to Arabella's side.
