When I decided that I was keeping my Apple Watch after my arbitrary one week trial, several of you wondered whether that would still be the case once the novelty had worn off. Indeed, I wondered that myself. Well, it’s now a month in as of yesterday, and I can definitely say the novelty has worn off – and, somewhat to my surprise, I’m still wearing it every day. Perhaps it’s time to drop the ‘skeptic’ part of the title....

However, there’s no denying that this is an incredibly sensitive subject, and that it’s necessary for series to be taking care to show assault in a way that is as sensitive and victim-centric as possible....
