A four-part true crime series about ‘Mansfield Murderers’ Susan and Christopher Edwards arrived on Sky Atlantic and HBO in December. The Edwards killed Susan’s parents and buried them in their garden, then spent over a decade draining their bank accounts before being discovered in 2014, but as this clever and experimental drama shows, there’s much ...
Attn: crime fans. Alibi commissioned darkly witty six-part thriller Ragdoll, adapted from the novel of the same name by Daniel Cole. It’s a Jo Nesbo-ish crime drama about a grotesque murder in which six victims have been sewn into the shape of a single body.

- Rumpole. This may be considered a contentious choice, but then again, it is mine. That cantankerous, yet brilliant barrister has been an absolute inspiration.
- Suits. The TV show where we first met Meghan Markle. I shall make no further comment. We also, however, met Harvey Specter. The epitome of cool – he made all lawyers cool.

- Silk. Silk made, dare I say, barristers sexy. In Peter Moffat’s drama we had sex, politics and courtroom shenanigans. Maxine Peake was terrifying as a barrister on the make focused on becoming a silk.
Bad Judge: Created by Anne Heche, Chad Kultgen. With Kate Walsh, Tone Bell, John Ducey, Ryan Hansen. A hard-living, sexually unapologetic woman plays with the law, and her life on the edge is constantly in balance as she also happens to be a judge in the Criminal Court system.
