Well-behaved women rarely make history and, frankly, they make for terrible TV. If you're like me and can't resist a gripping workplace drama, you'll be well-acquainted with all-round awful characters - but perhaps less so with 'bad women'.
Like some of its predecessors, this financial drama grapples with complex themes; from the British class system to sexism and racism. Led by Myha'la Herrold, it charts the journey of five graduates vying for permanent positions at top investment bank Pierpoint and Co. Film and TV have trained us to find ‘redeemable’ qualities in female characters. We see this mentality in action in Season Two.
Throughout the first series, she speaks highly of her brother who, according to her, unexpectedly ran away to Berlin. So, when presented with the opportunity to visit Berlin she jumps on board planning to find her brother. She does, but it doesn't go down as I expected. I’ll admit, I expected this to be monumental for the character, I thought we would see a whole new side of Harper. She would finally be vindicated.
It was in this episode that it dawned on me that Harper is a bad woman and although that has led to fans of the show hating the character - I love her for it. In her family, friendships and romantic relationships , she is callous and self-centred. These traits are undesirable in anyone, but society has labelled them especially awful in women.
