The show, which had become extremely popular primetime viewing, revolved around the pair's toxic extramarital affair.After leaving the show Wilson <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/29/style/ruth-wilson-the-affair-little-stranger.html">told The New York Times</a> that her decision was not because of a "pay parity," but there was instead a "much bigger story" at play.

"Over and over again, I witnessed Sarah Treem try to cajole actors to get naked even if they were uncomfortable or not contractually obligated to."In 2015, Wilson won a Golden Globe award for her performance the same year that the show blindsided critical favorites such as "Game of Thrones " and "House of Cards" and picked up the coveted Best Television Series (Drama) award.

But we watched a man lose everything in 58 minutes," she said.But while it seems we're still preoccupied with Andrew's now-famous appearance, there may be signs that he is being brought back into the royal fold, experts say.<div type="image" title="Prince Andrew is interviewed for &quot;Newsnight&quot; at Buckingham Palace." height="967" width="1909" msid="114378102" hostid="261" sizebytes="51434"></div><h2 id="f8f179f8-a3cd-4916-a011-569651ec461b">One interview, two adaptations</h2>Back in April, Netflix released <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/prince-andrew-scoop-how-accurate-interview-netflix-2024-4">"Scoop,"</a> a movie starring Gillian Anderson, Rufus Sewell, and Billie Piper. The film is based on the memoir by former "Newsnight" producer Sam McAlister.More recently on September 19, Amazon Prime released <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q642X3038YI">"A Very Royal Scandal,"</a> a three-part drama series based on former "Newsnight" journalist Emily Maitlis' account of the interview, starring Ruth Wilson and Michael Sheen.Both adaptations showed the painstaking efforts to secure the interview and alluded to the damaging effect it would have on Andrew's reputation.The interview followed controversy surrounding Andrew's relationship with Epstein, who died by suicide in a jail cell after being charged with sex trafficking dozens of minors.In August 2019, an unsealed document from a defamation lawsuit involving Epstein's former girlfriend, <a target="_blank" rel="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstein-prince-andrew-virginia-roberts-court-case-2019-7">Ghislaine Maxwell</a>, alleged that the Duke had engaged in sexual relations with one of Epstein's alleged victims on three occasions.<a target="_blank" rel="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/prince-andrew-accuser-virginia-roberts-guiffre-now-netflix-scoop-2024-4">Virginia Roberts Giuffre,</a> the alleged victim who filed the lawsuit, claimed Maxwell and Epstein sex-trafficked her and forced her to have sex with Andrew.<a target="_blank" rel="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/prince-andrew-statement-appalled-jeffrey-epstein-sex-abuse-claims-2019-8">Andrew denied</a> the claims in a statement released by Buckingham Palace in August 2019, but his subsequent BBC interview caused a controversy of its own.Speaking to<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyn7ylgj5lo"> BBC News</a> earlier in September, Maitlis said the prince "lost the respect of the nation."<h2 id="a2b60bf7-eabe-4a95-be03-c86fd0b1d7d1">The repercussions</h2>The interview appeared to severely damage the public perception of Andrew, who is the younger brother to King Charles. As a working royal, the prince was once known for his business partnerships and investments. He held the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.royal.uk/the-duke-of-york">role</a> as the UK's Special Representative for International Trade and Investment until 2011.However, multiple firms with strong links to the prince <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/prince-andrew-jeffrey-epstein-interview-firms-cut-ties-list-2019-11">distanced themselves</a> in the aftermath of the interview. Pitch@Palace, a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-party-at-buckingham-palace-is-like-photos-2018-11">charity Andrew created</a> for tech startups and investors, was blacklisted by multiple former sponsors, including KPMG, Standard Chartered, and Cisco. The charity removed Andrew's name from its website in 2020, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51442662">BBC News</a> reported at the time. It's unclear if he still holds a role behind-the-scenes. Meanwhile, high-ranking royal family members, including King Charles and Prince William, refrained from publicly supporting Andrew and are still rarely photographed with him.The prince's daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, have continued to support him, though it's worth noting that Andrew was notably <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/princess-beatrice-wedding-details-you-missed-from-secret-ceremony-2020-7">left out of Beatrice's wedding photos</a> in 2020.<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kristen-meinzer-says-not-friends-meghan-markle-tom-bower-book-2022-7">Kristien Meinzer</a>, a royal commentator, author, and host of several <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.kristenmeinzer.com/podcast-host">podcasts</a> including "The Royal Report," told BI that the royal family is unlikely to "ever fully cut ties" with Andrew, even as they distance themselves.She said this could be for several reasons, including her belief that the prince is "incapable of taking care of himself" after a lifetime of royal privilege.When he was a working royal, the prince received a yearly salary from the Sovereign Grant, funded by UK taxpayers. <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/11/23/quarter-million-security-cost-taxpayer-prince-andrews-business/">The Telegraph</a> reported that taxpayers paid more than a quarter of a million pounds, or around $328,000, for his international security detail since 2014. Meanwhile, royal commentator and public relations consultant <a target="_blank" class="" href="http://richardfitzwilliams.com/">Richard Fitzwilliams</a> said the prince will always hold the support of his two daughters and ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. The two have <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sarah-ferguson-said-she-was-luckiest-girl-marrying-prince-andrew-2021-12">remained close</a> over the years and it's been <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sarah-ferguson-says-most-persecuted-woman-royal-history-2021-12">widely reported</a> that they still live together at Royal Lodge, a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly3k28w31zo">$39 million property</a> in Windsor that Andrew leases from the Crown Estate. "He is such a kind, great man, he is a brilliant father and now a fantastic grandfather," Ferguson said in an interview on the Italian talk show <a target="_blank" rel=" nofollow" href="https://www.raitalia.it/dl/PortaliRai/Programmi/PublishingBlock-bfe4cedd-d5a6-4daa-bcc9-33078d07ab3a.html?ContentItem-31ad08f1-a2dd-453e-a79f-20cfd779b42a">"Porta a Porta" </a>in December 2021, cited by <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10312341/Sarah-Ferguson-says-fairytale-Prince-Andrew-ended.html">MailOnline</a>."I believe that the love I have for him and he has for me is just very different from what normal people have. We have great respect and love for each other," she added.Royal commentator Victoria Arbiter <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/prince-andrew-public-life-over-experts-say-2024-1">previously told BI</a> that while Andrew's "public life is over," he is still likely to continue attending family events.In 2023, he attended a Christmas Day church service alongside the royal family and he was also present at King Charles' coronation earlier that year.Schofield said the institution is unlikely to ever fully reject Prince Andrew. However, she noted that his involvement in family events could be scaled back when Prince William ascends the throne."I do believe we will see much less of him under a King William reign," she said. "Prince William is incredibly intelligent and recognizes that you are only as strong as your weakest member. He will be very keen of this when he is in charge."William and Kate have never publicly commented on Andrew's situation. However, in March 2020, Prince Harry—who left the institution that year—was <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/prince-philip-funeral-prince-harry-andrew-have-awkward-reunion-2021-4">secretly recorded</a> saying that he was "completely separate" from his uncle."I have very little to say on that. But whatever he has done or hasn't done, is completely separate from me and my wife," he said.Buckingham Palace did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Prince Andrew's future is murkier than ever. But the royals may never fully cut ties.

Over the last few weeks, the debate has reached its peak, spurred on by the release of Amazon's woeful anthology horror show "Them," which, in <a href="https://www.insider.com/them-review-weak-attempt-at-black-horror-2021-4">a review elsewhere</a>, Insider laments due to its voyeuristic depictions of cruelty and sexual violence. Although the argument isn't restricted to film and television. In 2016, the art world <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/04/10/why-dana-schutz-painted-emmett-till">was divided over a painting of Emmett Till</a>, disfigured in his casket, by Dana Schutz, a white artist from Brooklyn. While newsreels continue to be dominated by images of police killings, it is legitimate for audiences to <a href="https://www.tvguide.com/news/them-review-amazon-prime-video-series-horror-racism-lena-waithe/?TheTime=2021-04-01T22%3A06%3A45&amp;UniqueID=8BF5668E-9336-11EB-8511-92244D484DA4&amp;ftag=COS-05-10aaa3b&amp;PostType=image&amp;ServiceType=twitterviceType=twitter">express fatigue</a> and <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/hollywood-black-lives-matter-police-brutality-equal-standard-film-ice-t-a9302256.html">question the merit</a> of fictionalized depictions of such violence. "I think that's a good debate to have," Joel Edgerton, who plays Ridgeway, a hardened slave catcher who tracks down and returns escaped people to their enslavers, one of "The Underground Railroad's" only recurring white characters, told Insider."On one hand, there will be a criticism if you go too far. Because it's hard, and it's triggering, obviously. And yet, I can also imagine a world where you get criticized for not going to the darkest places because then you're rewriting history, or you're watering it down, or you're sweeping it a little under the carpet." <h2>"Slavery is traumatic. There's no way to truthfully render that without it being intensely traumatic."</h2><div type="image" title="b9d9a639 247f 4bb2 ba39 825807abe67e UGRR_S1_Unit_102_1728R" height="1705" width="2560" msid="82640222" hostid="261"></div>"The Underground Railroad" follows the story of an orphaned, enslaved woman named Cora, played brilliantly by South African actor Thuso Mbedu, who escapes from a plantation in Georgia with her companion Caesar (Aaron Pierce) and together they discover the underground railroad, which, in this telling, has been transformed into a literal railroad operated and conducted below ground by free Black men and women.The railroad provides a deeply grim look at the pre-Civil War American South, with each stop on the railway displaying - to varying degrees - the horrors of the supremacist delusions ingrained in the heart of the nation. As one character says to Cora before she takes her first journey on the fictional train: "If you wanna see what this nation's all about, you gotta ride the rails. Just look outside as you speed through and you'll see the true face of America."The 10-part limited series opens on the plantation in Georgia where we see an enslaved man flogged and then burned alive on a stake. As we make our way through North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Indiana, the violence doesn't become any less disturbing. And the beautiful visual palette provided by Barry Jenkins and his longtime collaborator, cinematographer James Laxton, does little to lessen the blow. In fact, the odd dichotomy between the two enhances the horror of humanity."Slavery is traumatic. There's no way to truthfully render that without it being intensely traumatic. And it's always intensely triggering for me to see those stories." William Jackson Harper, who stars as an abolitionist named Royal, told Insider.<div type="image" title="The Underground Railroad" height="2601" width="3468" msid="82640227" hostid="261"></div>"The Underground Railroad" captures Harper in a dramatically different setting to his previous work. The 41-year-old actor is best known as Chidi Anagonye, the wacky but harmless philosophy professor in NBC's popular sitcom, "The Good Place." And on the big screen, he is most familiar for his role as an equally idiosyncratic Ph.D. student in Ari Aster's millennial breakup horror flick, "Midsommar." This sort of token Black nerd archetype can be lucrative. Previous occupants have included Donald Glover, Alfonso Ribeiro, and Richard Ayoade. But Harper told Insider that he was drawn to this project because of its roots in resistance against subjugation. "It's about a woman deciding that enough is enough," he said. "And it's not to say that that story has never been told before, but I find this particular version of that story and the character of Cora so inspiring because it's not just about like, 'She's an enslaved person and all she wants is to not be an enslaved person.' Cora is a person who's trying to reconcile with the trauma from her mom leaving her. There are so many other things at play." The mystery of Cora's mother is one of the smartest literary devices Whitehead deploys in the novel and it is masterfully transferred to the screen by Jenkins. It is also what sets "The Underground Railroad" apart from all other depictions of American slavery. In twin emotional hits we begin by witnessing the familiar physical horrors of slavery, but then we fall deeper into the psychological realities through Cora's maternal loss, something audiences everywhere can relate to, which means when then shocking torture reappears, the audience's emotional reaction is deeply somatic.Harper told Insider that the emotional hit was just as hard for the actors."I was in and out of shooting. I shot a little bit of 'Underground Railroad' and then went and shot some of 'The Good Place,' and then came back to 'Underground Railroad' and then shot this little indie movie, so I was just forced to shake it off every time I would leave set."<h2>"The Underground Railroad" links the horrors of slavery to the modern world</h2><div type="image" title="13UNDERGROUND1 superJumbo v2" height="1365" width="2048" msid="82640233" hostid="261"></div>Beyond the literal manifestation of the railroad, the show also makes several other imaginative and ingenious leaps to create a link between its fictional world and contemporary American life. When the railroad stops in South Carolina, Cora and her companion meet a new world. Slavery is outlawed. This is a state of modern industry, skyscrapers, and science. Formerly enslaved peoples are provided with jobs and healthcare, but as Cora scrapes slightly below the surface, she discovers the state is actually enacting plans to sterilize Black women and use Black men as test subjects in an experiment to track the spread of syphilis.This part of the show is where many audiences may decide to tap out. Pointing out the lingering legacy of injustice and racial division is America's least favorite pastime. Last month, when <a href="https://www.insider.com/pete-buttigieg-is-right-racism-is-built-into-american-infrastructure-2021-4">Pete Buttigieg, the Secretary of Transportation said </a>"there is racism physically built into some of our highways," referencing the work of Ruth Wilson Gilmore, he was roundly mocked.In the same way, Edgerton told Insider that he saw many similarities between "The Underground Railroad" and what he saw while watching the news and witnessing "the confident outing of white supremacists and white supremacy groups in America and around the world" last year.<div type="image" title="Joel Edgerton Underground Railroad" height="748" width="998" msid="82640238" hostid="261"></div>"It started to make me wonder about how Ridgeway was formed," he said. "So I started thinking, I gotta stop looking at those groups as groups and start to think of them as a combination of individuals and what was behind the thinking, the shaping, the education, and the evolution of all those individuals that allows that group thinking." He continued: "That became a real connection to the modern things that we're living through. And took it away from, just, somehow this is some period story that involves a bounty hunter that I get to play. This still goes on and it's morphed into different things." "The Underground Railroad's" unrelenting honestly may ring as cathartic for some. But the show will undoubtedly turn away others. And to that Edgerton said: "Look, everyone has a choice. It's still TV. And I think what you gotta ask yourself is 'would I regret doing something more or not doing it.'"Either way, if I feel like something feels challenging to me, whether it's a role in a film or an experience in travel, I always lean into the uncomfortableness because I know that might provide something new for me. And, you can always press stop.""The Underground Railroad" is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video from Friday.

Not only did <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/golden-globes-amazon-makes-history-2015-1">Amazon win its first two awards</a> for critically-acclaimed series "Transparent," but several major actors including <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/kevin-spacey-wins-first-golden-globe-2015-1">8-time nominee Kevin Spacey</a> took home their first Golden Globe ever.

7 Major Actors Won Their First Golden Globe Sunday Night

"Game of Thrones" and "House of Cards" didn't take home the award for Best TV Drama Sunday night at the Golden Globes.&#xa0;<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/golden-globes-winners-2015-1"> </a>
Instead, it was Showtime's new juicy series, "<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/best-new-fall-shows-to-watch-2014-2014-9#the-affair-showtime-6">The Affair</a>," which won the Globe.
The show ended up being <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/golden-globes-winners-2015-1">one of the big winners of the night</a>, as lead actress Ruth Wilson beat out&#xa0;fellow network star Claire Danes ("Homeland"), Robin Wright ("House of Cards"), and Julianna Margulies ("The Good Wife") for Best Actress in a TV drama.
The series, from Sarah Treem ("House of Cards" co-exec producer)&#xa0;and Hagai Levi ("In Treatment"), chronicles the emotional effects of an extramarital affair between waitress Alison (Wilson) and novelist and school teacher Noah (Dominic West).
Alison's marriage to her rancher husband Cole (Joshua Jackson) is emotionally and financially fraught. Noah has been married to his wife Hellen (Maura Tierney) for 17 years, and he is struggling to complete a new novel. Although he is happy in his marriage, he's frustrated because he their dependence on his in-laws' wealth.
When the couple and their four kids spend their summer at his in-laws' estate, he meets Alison, and the two have an undeniable attraction for one another.The show, which premiered in October, has <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the-affair/s01/" target="_blank">received praise </a>for its compelling story about a generally taboo subject - extramarital affairs - as well as for the excellent performances from its leading actors.
Compared to other Showtime series, "The Affair"&#xa0;posted lower season 1 ratings than the networks previous hits "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Homeland_episodes#Season_1_.282011.29">Homeland</a>" and "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Masters_of_Sex_episodes">Masters of Sex</a>."&#xa0;
With less conversation surrounding the series, it was able to sneak up on more mainstream and usual&#xa0;hits like "Game of Thrones" and "House of Cards."
However, two Golden Globes are likely to help the series garner more viewers in its second season, and potentially help it sneak up on bigger shows come Emmy season.&#xa0;
