UK 2008-2009, 300 + 312 minutes
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Drama, Television / Courtroom

Feat. Ben Whishaw, Pete Postlethwaite, Maxine Peake, Matthew MacFadyen

Aroview: Grim and unglamorous drama series focuses on an individual’s journey through the British criminal justice system, from prison to courtroom. It benefits from a detailed and microscopic point of view on the process an accused person faces, with a critical eye towards the role of solicitors and the law itself.

The first series starring Ben Whishaw is about a young man who is accused of murder after a drunken bender and is unable to remember committing the crime. The second series starring Maxine Peake as troubled housewife who stabs her abusive barrister husband in their bed.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
3 stars (Good Enough) Good but not as good as 'The Jury' or 'Five Days' - as both have more original elements than 'Criminal justice'. Ben Whishaw deserves an Oscar. ~Keeshy
