The limited series is based on events that took place in Central Park in New York City in 1989. The show recounts the events and experiences of these teenagers and highlights the biases of the justice system. The documentary series was filmed over 13 years and features Avery family members, victims and their families, defense attorneys, judges, prosecutors, private investigators and law enforcement agencies. Divided into two parts of 10 episodes each, this documentary is dark, intense and provocative at its best. Criminal Minds remains one of the most exciting and horrific trials on television. After the end of season 15 and a revival at Paramount+, the series certainly had no shortage of serial killers capable of profiling and capturing members of the behavioral analysis unit aka BAU. But even if the stories of the serial killers didn`t quite land, it was the team that never failed to get involved. With the arrival and departure of various members of the ranks over the years, history has never failed to show the darkness faced by BAU agents or the toll it took them to try to understand the minds of the worst criminals. Plus, the team that finished the series was the best yet, making the series` premature end even more disappointing.
This team – with JJ (A.J. Cook), Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster), Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), Tara Lewis (Aisha Tyler), Luke Alvez (Adam Rodriguez), Matt Simmons (Daniel Henney) and Rossi (Joe Mantegna) – felt more cohesive and worked better together at a balanced level than the team of previous seasons, which always felt very heavy on Hotch and Rossi at every opportunity. Diving into the criminal in this way brought something unique to the procedural layout that cemented that Criminal Minds will always be special. — Jay Snow If you can turn something like the legal industry into a simple comedy, you know there`s something special about you. NBC knew this when Night Court first aired in 1984. With a well-received ensemble highlighted by Harry Anderson and John Larroquette, this sitcom had its audience as a stitch. On a growing wave of dry comedy, the show largely gathered around the staff of a seedy New York courthouse, forced to face a parade of neurotic, madly crazy groups of accused criminals. Of all the shows on our list, Night Court had the greatest inclination to evolve through its series.
In later episodes, the characters had more burlesque humor than the dry comedy of previous seasons. Despite the development of the chameleon series, fans have remained loyal and attached to their TVs. The case concerns Logi Traustason (Magnús Jónsson), an intelligent young lawyer whose life seems to be deteriorating due to his cruelty and self-destruction. But he seeks redemption by finding new goals and helping Detective Gabriela (Steinunn Ólína Þorsteinsdóttir) solve the murder of a teenage ballerina. But is salvation ever as easy as expected? As events take an ominous turn, Logi discovers that there are more dark forces at play than expected. But he is determined to expose the truth and redeem himself, even if it means challenging authority. The award-winning legal crime drama was called Réttur, which translates to “law” in Icelandic. The series was renamed Case and The Court for English-language markets. As the title suggests, the series depicts the metaphorical animal nature of rival lawyers to keep their heads in the world of the legal system. Hyena has only one season with 16 episodes.
There are many shows that familiarize us with today`s judicial procedures and situations. But what did it look like in the past? How does it compare to our current justice system? Has anything really changed after all this time? If these questions bother you, then you need to look at Garrow`s Law. It takes place in the 18th century and is based on the life of the famous lawyer William Garrow. With a lawyer named John Southouse, Garrow takes over the defendants` cases and tries to uncover the truth and deliver justice at all costs. Their cases ranged from rape and murder to corruption and high treason. One of the most successful spin-offs of all time, Better Call Saul, delves into the life of one of television`s most famous lawyers: Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk). For fans of Breaking Bad and those new to the world of Vince Gillian, this story is full of popular characters from the original series. The series takes place before Breaking Bad, a while and even hints at a future for the character, is complicated and impossible to stop. A story that leads to the unforgettable figure of the summary lawyer that the public saw at the consultation of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), this account is anything but predictable.
Talent mine Viola Davis stars as Annalise Keating in “How to Get Away with Murder.” Keating is a criminal defense attorney and law professor in Philadelphia. This series shows her story as well as that of her five students, whom she personally selects for an internship at her company when they are involved in a murder. The story goes back and forth in time to focus on investigating the murder and tracing the path of how it all began. Viola Davis won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of Keating, setting the record for being the first black woman to do so. Plus, Your Honor is also a limited series, meaning there won`t be another season, but what the audience got was special and completely different from anything in the genre, and Michael Desiato (Cranston) isn`t much better than Walter White from Breaking Bad. An iconoclastic idealist runs his law practice from the back seat of his Lincoln Town Car in this series, based on Michael Connelly`s bestselling novels. A victim of juvenile murder, a prosecutor who comes back to her, a lawyer who considers it a career matter, and a suspect who could be innocent. Sounds like a typical legal act, right? But there`s more to The Trial than you see at first glance. The legal thriller series, titled Il Processo in Italian, follows the above characters involved in the murder of a teenage girl. It sheds light on how this incident affects the lives of everyone involved as they seek the truth, await the verdict and, in the meantime, walk on eggshells.
Perry Mason was the best lawyer show that started it all. He set the course for what shows like L.A. Law and Law & Order set out to achieve in the following years. Raymond Burr made his debut in 1957 as defense attorney Perry Mason, based on author Erle Stanley`s eponymous character. The Law & Order franchise is one of the most successful on television, but the series` first spin-off, Special Victims Unit, is rated higher than the original series. Set in a fictional version of the NYPD, CSR often focuses on crimes loosely based on real events that have attracted considerable media attention. This USA Network series, which debuted in 2011, captured the hearts and minds of audiences from the start. The series revolves around a college dropout, Mike Ross (played by Patrick J. Abrams), who essentially makes his way to become a lawyer at a prestigious New York law firm.
Mentor Ross is the well-trained and polite Harvey Specter, well played by Gabriel Match, who is also the show`s producer. Together, Mike and Harvey fight their way through various intense legal battles, many of which take place in fictional depictions of American companies on topics such as shady corporate management agreements. All the time trying to keep Mike`s non-lawyer status a secret. With a strong supporting cast, including standout personalities like Rick Hoffman, Gina Torres and Meghan Markle, this basic cable series ran for 6 seasons with a 7th season set to debut in July this year – definitely worth a weekend of legal binge watching TV. This Los Angeles-based legal drama was a hit with audiences and critics alike.
