When the television series Doctor Foster first aired in the UK, Comer instantly became one of the country’s most hated women. Or rather, her character Kate became the country’s most hated woman, a 21-year-old having an affair with the awful husband of her family friend.

“Yesterday I was on a train and a woman called me a bitch,” Comer said at the time. “I’ve had quite a reaction to her from the public. I love characters who can rile an audience so much – it means you’ve done your job well.”

Kate is an easy character to hate: young, beautiful and sleeping with the husband of the series’ main character Gemma (Suranne Jones). But, as she did with Villanelle, Comer elevated the role from a mistress with no agency to a manipulative enigma from whom you couldn’t look away.

Where can I watch it? In the US, you can watch Doctor Foster on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. In the UK, you can also watch it on Netflix.
