Affairs, lies and life-ruining consequences from online dating are on display in the trailer for the Netflix docuseries “Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal.”
“Life is Short. Have an Affair” was the slogan for the online dating site AshleyMadison.com, which is an adult online dating site for married people to cheat on their partners. The Canadian online dating service launched in 2002 and millions of users joined. However, in July 2015, the website was hacked and user’s information was exposed, ending marriages and ruining lives.
“We all know infidelity can be incredibly destructive and hurtful, but at the same time, the fact that Ashley Madison had 37 million members tells us something else we all know – that committing to one person for the rest of your life is really hard,” Toby Paton, the series director wrote in a statement. “Rather than berating people who joined Ashley Madison we were much more interested...

The Trailer for Netflix’s Ashley Madison Docuseries Has Sex, Shame, and One Life-Ruining Data Breach
“Life Is Short. Have an Affair.”
That was the tagline for — and the promise of — AshleyMadison.com, the controversial website where married people could sign up to have an affair with another married person. It seemed like a good idea to many — especially those who directly profited from the proposition — until the site’s servers were subjected to arguably the biggest data breach of all time. The hack exposed millions of users’ very personal data, ending marriages and ruining lives.
Netflix on Wednesday released the trailer for its three-part docuseries “Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies, & Scandal.” It hails from Minnow Films and is directed by Toby Paton; each episode is 50-minutes long. The series is produced by Chris McLaughlin and executive produced by Fiona Caldwell and Sophie Jones. Episodes are directed by Zoe Hutton and Gagan Rehill.

Netflix has shared the official trailer and key art for Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies, & Scandal, the three-episode documentary series that will be available on May 15, 2024. Each episode of the series is about 50 minutes long.
When Ashley Madison, a dating site for people seeking adulterous affairs, is hacked, millions of users’ intimate data is exposed, wrecking marriages and destroying lives.
This documentary series from Minnow Films and director Toby Paton explores the creation of the website during the dot com boom, the people who used the site to explore a part of their love lives they felt was missing, and the hack that made it all come crashing down.
“When Minnow Films approached me to make a series about the rise of infidelity dating site Ashley Madison and the catastrophic hack that led to its 37 million members having their identities exposed online, my first thought was, ‘Wow, what a story!’,” said director Toby Paton.

Beyoncé made the biggest news of the night Sunday at the 65th annual Grammy Awards.
The singer led the 2023 Grammy Awards nominations with a total of nine. Beyoncé’s career total of 88 nominations set a new record — one tied by her husband Jay-Z, who earned five noms this year. During the Premiere Ceremony, the pop star picked up two Grammys, breaking her 28-win tie with Quincy Jones. She also won best R&b song during the live broadcast, for “Cuff It,” tying late conductor Georg Solti’s 31-win record. She wasn’t there to accept that award, having experienced a very L.A. annoyance — being stuck in traffic — but arrived later during the ceremony, with host Trevor Noah presenting her the Grammy while she was seated in the audience. Later in the show, she won best dance/electronic album for Renaissance, beating Solti’s record, with a total of 32 career wins.

The 65th Grammy Awards take place on Sunday 5 February, with music fans preparing for the rematch of the century: Adele vs Beyoncé.
Both artists are up for Album of the Year, six years after Adele took home the top prize for her third record, 25. The win over Beyoncé’s critically adored surprise album Lemonade was highly controversial; Adele herself famously declared that Beyoncé deserved the prize during her acceptance speech.
This year, the British singer is competing with her record-obliterating fourth album, 30, released in 2021. A four-star review in The Independent praised the songs as “handsomely crafted ballads about love and its various agonies”, with Adele’s voice, as ever, the main draw. “Adele possesses that perfectly imperfect voice, gargantuan and frail all at once,” critic Annabel Nugent wrote. “It’s epic without resorting to showy, melismatic affectations. It yawns into unexpected shapes and makes intonation fun.”

After Elliot Page announced in a public statement earlier this week that he’s a trans man, Netflix confirmed that he’ll continue playing Vanya Hargreeves, a cis woman, on The Umbrella Academy. In other circumstances, an actor continuing a role they originated is not news, but because trans people are still not understood by many, viewers have been confused by the logistics of a man portraying a woman.
As The Daily Mail reports, some were unsure of the situation and requested clarification from those who understood it better, as you can see below:
Do we still call her Vanya?
— Matt Phillips (@MattPhi09879748) December 1, 2020
honest q, do you folks know if his character will change as well?

Others, meanwhile, took the opportunity to let their transphobia show, whether malicious or not.

"War for the Planet of the Apes” from Weta Digital could well be on its way to the elusive VFX Oscar after winning four Ves trophies Tuesday night at the Beverly Hilton (including the top feature prize). Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” won for supporting VFX, Pixar’s “Coco” earned four awards (including VFX for animation), and “Game of Thrones” took home five awards (including VFX for TV).
The “Apes” finale, directed by Matt Reeves, benefited from a Shakespearean performance from Andy Serkis as Caesar, with Weta working its wizardry in much harsher conditions for the performance-captured animation. Not surprisingly, “Apes” additionally won for Caesar, the effects simulations for the thrilling avalanche, and compositing. However, although both “Rise” and “Dawn” captured Ves prizes, neither won the Oscar, so “War” is not a certainty in its race with “Blade Runner 2049.”
