- TriviaRobson Green said: "I think it's an important groundbreaking piece because it deals with things that are not spoken about. And it's written by a woman."
"Their son (Corey J. Smith) witnesses this act, so thinks his father has been battering his mother. We then start telling the reason for that particular moment. You will side with the woman - then, suddenly, I hope your allegiances change. Then at the end you don't side with anybody, but empathize with the boy, who's actually on the receiving end of this mental misunderstanding."
"There's nothing amazing about the guy - you don't see why he would be involved in anything like that. He's a hard-working man at a shipyard who loves his wife, who dotes on his son and who loves his home."
Beaten is "incredibly intelligent, but very simple to tell," reveals Robson.
"It's about how, sometimes, people get involved in relationships that are incredibly unhealthy - how we convince ourselves that everything will be fine, when actually it's not normal."
"I'm really excited by it because when we developed the script, we thought, 'if we get this right, it will blow people's minds. This will really change the perception of what we hear about wife-beating.'"

Featured review
Domestic violence with a twist. Not what you expect at all. It took me by surprise. Defo worth a watch.
