But despite her character being married, she gets into a passionate affair with criminal Jimmy Laszlo, played by Marton Csokas, in the 10-part drama which launched in the US last week.
Thandie, 40, admits the role was a challenge because she is barely off screen for any of the series, but is proud of it.
According to The Sun she said: “I do think it’s my best work, definitely.
“Partly because 10 hours is a long time, you know, and it’s also a long shooting period and that’s a lot of character to portray and, as a result, yeah, I reached into places that I wouldn’t normally go.”
The sexual scenes are a vast departure from Thandie’s normal roles
The Crash actress was also seen in Cannes this week at a glitzy party where she stepped out in a metallic silver dress.
She was at the MIPTV 50th Anniversary Opening Gala at the Festival Palace in Cannes.
The MIPTV is a leading trade event for international TV programmes, digital content and interactive entertainment.
Other stars at the Opening Gala included Famke Janssen, Felix Baumgartner, Laura Haddock and Tom Riley.
