#hot damn lady

Okay, I had not watched this movie before, but this looked fascinating, so I looked it up. And, um. Lady Kaede is incredible? Villain, yes, obviously. But incredible.

Her (spoilery) last scene:

You foolish woman! Your vain schemes have destroyed us! And her here, yes dear. That was the entire point. My own family were slaughtered and I was forcibly married into this one, all I needed was for the lord to put himself in a position where I could do this, and of course I jumped on it. I want you all slaughtered. So do what you like, I’ve gotten everything I want.

Ran is loosely inspired by King Lear, some gender changes and culture changes aside, which puts Lady Kaede broadly speaking into Edmund’s instigator role (with elements of Regan and Cornwall), but honestly? She would have eaten Edmund for breakfast. Edmund still, at the end of it, wanted love. Lady Kaede wanted her enemies dead, and was willing to die to make that happen.

And if she had to arrange the murder of a genuinely innocent woman in the exact same position as her to accomplish it? Eh. You can’t make an omelette without breaking some eggs.

Stone cold and vengeful, Lady Kaede.

Doctor Who's Jodie Whittaker and Gentleman Jack's Suranne Jones lead heist thriller

ITV has announced a brand new heist thriller, Frauds, which comes from Suranne Jones and Anne-Marie O’Connor and features Jones alongside Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker.

Jones and O’Connor previously collaborated on another ITV drama, Maryland. They have now created Frauds together, which will be written by O’Connor.

The series follows confidence trickster Sam, played by Whittaker, who has been living a quiet, anonymous life in the hills of southern Spain, whilst her grifting partner Bert, played by Jones, has been in a Spanish prison cell dreaming of one last job.

When Bert is released on grounds of compassionate discharge following a cancer diagnosis, the two reunite.

Bert apparently has no one else to turn to in the final weeks of her life, while Sam is clearly burying feelings of guilt, and a past she’d rather stay forgotten.

The duo are immediately pulled back into their complex and addictive relationship, as Bert attempts to lure Sam out of retirement for one final, multi-million-pound art heist. But at what cost?

Jones said in a statement: "Working on Frauds with Anne-Marie and Monumental for the last two years has been a wild ride.

"We took the idea of toxic female friendship and turned it on its head to give the heist genre an emotional heartbeat.

"I have always wanted to work with Jodie, and now I am. I hope you love Bert and Sam and all they get up to as much as we do."

Meanwhile, O’Connor added: "Suranne and I wanted to take a look at the importance and fierceness of female friendship and to do it using the propulsive heist genre.

"I am thrilled to be working with Monumental again, and having Jodie joining us alongside Suranne is a dream."

The series will be directed by Giulia Gandini (The Split), and it has recently begun filming in Spain.

Whittaker will next be seen in Toxic Town, a Netflix drama from writer Jack Thorne, while Jones has her own Netflix show coming up, The Choice.

Frauds will air on ITV1 and ITVX.
