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

I like watching TV series about lawyers and usually I enjoy how vapid they are, with lawyers pulling tricks out of the bag in totally implausible yet satisfying ways and unexpectedly winning all the time. But it is actually better and incredibly refreshing to see a legal show done another way. Critical, murky and funny.

So refreshing to see a sharp and witty piece of British comedy. The casting is exceptional, and all characters are played consummately .

One line by Liam to the amourous Will, intended as banter, was........ 'It's summon the jury not.......on the jury' purposely fell flat, but the comedy timing was bang on.

The whole package works very well , making it eminently watchable.

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

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