Enjoyable Romp on Righteousness
Watched Judge John Deed over the years and it is like episodes of 'A touch of Frost' or 'Inspector Morse' and others.
You will question how the central character gets away with these things and realise in the 'real world' they would not. As well as other flaws that don't stand up to comparison to the real world.
But, never the less, for the purposes of artistic license and putting on a good drama, despite these flaws it is entertaining and watchable .
Martin Shaw as the bewigged crusader, plays the role extremely well, as the 'not so little' , little guy, righting wrongs and bringing the establishment to book.
If you like a good old fashioned story of good triumping (despite all the odds) over evil . I found the episodes well written, yes it's not the real world but then we don't watch drama expecting a documentary
7/10.
