And we get a third season! Despite the fact that the level of the series remained very high during the second season, I still found it less strong than the first series. The Lee Ashworth case was less compelling than the Danny Latimer case, and the series frequently lost focus on this case. The storyline around the lawsuit was very strong and both cases ended well.
Well, the first 2 episodes were very promising, the series has been on my wish list for a long time. And English, in itself, is an advantage as far as I'm concerned!
