http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/tv/2008/06/criminal_justice_one_to_watch.html "Next week, BBC1 is going to be trying something a little different. Every night, from Monday to Friday, the 9pm slot has been given over to Criminal Justice, a five-episode thriller. It's a distinctive, haunting, 360 degree vision of the British legal system that follows a murder case from as many different perspectives as it can cram in. Ben Coulter (Ben Whishaw) wakes up from an edgy one-night stand with a hangover, very little memory of the evening - and blood on his hands. But has he killed the girl he picked up in his dad's "borrowed" cab? The cops (led by the ever-reliable Bill Paterson) certainly think so, and as we follow them around the crime scene, you can see why. His solicitor Stone (Con O'Neill) offers instant, bewildering pragmatic advice: offer "no comment" to everything. Cellmate Pete Postlethwaite explains how to negotiate the brutal games inside; David Harewood and Ian Peck both look to prey on the prison's latest fresh blood. In the courtroom, a ruthless Lindsay Duncan is on equally ferocious form as Ben's solicitor. His parents seem as lost as he is. With the five episodes programmed over consecutive nights, it starts to feel like you're living this journey in real time, following the sudden shift in Ben's reality. He's flirting with an intriguing girl on random night out one moment, struggling to deal with the confusion of the legal system and the intensity of prison life the next." Wow!

Well that was brilliant. One of the best pieces of drama I've seen in ages!!!! I really wish Bill was in more TV dramas because he's really absolutely wonderful. Every actor in this was wonderful! |

Adorkable Craig <3

*joins in with the awe* I know, wasn't it brilliant!? Bill was really great, but I can't work out whether I should trust/like his character or not... or, any of the characters for that matter Except for the main guy... I think we can safely assume that if he did kill Melanie it was an accident/ he didn't realise what he was doing?I loved all the camera work/direction, and the colours and everything, too! |
