No I'm glad I'm not the only one!! There's been a few scenes like that honestly. Where if the genders were reversed it would be a huge issue, but the show kinda treats it like a joke. I mean, the scene where Rachel RAPES Paul. I felt wildly uncomfortable. But ya that part in the first scene made me really uncomfy too.

I love this series so much, but I nearly quit after just this first episode.
When Paul comes home and Sarah basically jumps him to stop him asking questions she can’t answer, that’s a really serious sexual assault, right? I don’t think the BBC would have broadcast that scene if the genders were the opposite way round, not without the episode making it *very* clear this was completely wrong. They play it off almost as a joke though and it makes me feel sick. Obviously, I’m aware they’re just actors pretending, and even more obviously, they both look great and I’d usually enjoy watching a scene like that, but the situation is terrible.
I’m glad I’d decided by the second episode’s broadcast date to give the series a chance. I’m glad I continued to watch and am watching again with you. I just wondered what people think of this scene in particular; is it problematic for people generally, or just me?
