Defending the Guilty

The story of Will, who's looking to hit the big time in law, he needs to stand above three other hopefuls, all the time aided and abetted by a slightly crazy, jaded Mentor.

The acting is superb, Parkinson and Bonnar in particular shine in every scene. Will is a hugely likeable character, he's great.

It doesn't have the belly laugh factor, but it is amusing, and the scenarios are funny, it's comedy along the lines of Don't forget the Driver from earlier in the year.

I'm delighted to see a second series is in the works, it really is a show I've loved and miss. 8/10

A highly justified ten, well written with a smart and very funny cast. The crime maybe not seeing a second series!

I had entirely given up on new television in 2008, giving up on new film in 2012. I recently came back to new film, finding most as awful as they ever were but with the occasional okay one. I had peeked at new TV shows in recent times and seen nothing worth even mentioning. However, with Defending the Guilty there seems to finally be a show that speaks powerfully about this terrible society we have made, with a serious wit, and finely judged aesthetics.

Very witty and enjoyable - couldn't recommend it more highly

This is not a sitcom.( There are few laugh out loud moments). It is a very good comedy drama.With Interesting, likeable characters, well written and with an extremely good soundtrack
