About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a character-driven period legal drama about fairness and reform, with tense trials and moral debates; Not for you if you dislike courtroom-heavy stories or prefer faster, action-led shows like Peaky Blinders.

Pros: gripping courtroom battles; strong period atmosphere; justice-focused stories | Cons: slower pacing at times; dense legal talk; limited action
