A barrister who specialises in the criminal law who is shocked, just shocked, when his clients lie to him and they aren't innocent! Who woulda thunk it? No one on planet Earth.
The premise is preposterous and the defence barrister as avenging angel is ridiculous.
The screenwriter clearly has no idea what barristers are trained to do, how they think and why they defend criminals, most of whom are -- I know this will come as a great shock -- guilty.
This outlandish piece of creative writing, with its several byways and a cartoonishly horrible police detective is perhaps the worst "legal" drama I have ever had the misfortune to witness.
