Joanne Froggatt on Liar season 2: 'It's an interesting take on human nature' (BBCSouthAfrica)
In the first season Laura Nielson , is set up on a date with recently widowed surgeon Andrew Earlham which changes her life forever. Andrew is a serial rapist who hides behind the veneer of the polished, accomplished doctor.
Although there is a two-year gap between the seasons, season two picks up right where season one left off. "And in season two she is outraged that Andrew is still adversely affecting her life from beyond the grave, as it were. She's at the end of how much she can handle, I think. She's been through a lot and then to be one of the suspects in the investigation of Andrew's murder. It just adds insult to injury for her. She just wants justice.""It is always a big responsibility when working on a story or a script that has a traumatic experience.
"And my answer to that was well, yes. If we accept thrillers and police dramas based around murder and child abduction and even paedophilia and all these horrendous crimes, then why do we still feel that sexual assault is a taboo subject, isn't that part of the problem? The big theme throughout both seasons is lies. All the characters in the show are involved in a lie either about their personal lives or covering up for someone else. In season two it's about who's lying about who killed Andrew.
