Madeleine

In 1850s Glasgow, a young woman from a wealthy, strict household secretly maintains an affair with a Frenchman while her family presses her to marry a respectable suitor. When the affair takes a dark turn, she faces suspicion and a tense courtroom case.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like restrained period melodramas, morally complicated romances, and courtroom tension; Not for you if you prefer fast pacing, overt emotion, or neatly resolved mysteries.
