It's a brilliant story to see how the criminal justice system works.
The first episode is a bit long though, but that shouldn't discourage you or anyone else from watching it.

What is it like compared Criminal Justice?
Well they focus on the small details in the story. Like when a suspect is aprehended and kept in the holding cells, then when he appears in front of the judge, to set a date for his trial, with the bail application and if it's denied, how he's kept in a prison, and what suspects do to survive in prison. And then ultimately the hearing.
But what was very interesting was how the investigation went on, and how important the work of a detective is, but also how a prosecutor can manipulate the system.
I meant the original BBC tv show Criminal Justice.
But still interesting to know.

Oh, Never watched that series, guess it was on before South Africa had the BBC channel.
It's a lot more in detail than Law & Order franchise.
Oh it's really good IMO apprently enough differences to the night of ESP after the first 2 episodes so I have been told.
The ending is also apprently different.
Think both season are on YouTube, Dailymotion etc.

Yep, only finished episode 2 last night. But so far so good. James Gandolfini was supposed to play the lawyer until his death and got replaced by John Turturro.
And yes, I think the Justice system is all about winning for these Public defenders, not about the truth.

What did everyone think of the new robot wars? I liked it but it felt too short and I actually preferred the feel of the old one (current arena is too sanitised and little things like the darkened room with spotlights on the robots, smoke in the pit etc). I'd love to see a second series that is longer with perhaps a greater variety of events and bring back some of the house robots like Sgt Bash, Mr Psycho and Growler, maybe even refbot (Cassius Chrome was crap). Also I like Dara O'Briain but his calm talk just goes against what I've always though is supposed to be carnage and hectic, it's too big of a contrast.
Craig Charles was a great host IMO created the best atmosphere for it.
Hunted is such an annoying show.
Great idea but the fact that they have a cameraman with them already comprimises the whole thing.

Just watched the 2nd episode of the new season of American Horror Story and I am LOVING IT.
So glad they've gone real creepy with it.

Just been watching the West Wing, that's pretty good.
Two Cathedrals is the greatest bit of Television ever made.

got the box set a few years ago, all seven seasons of west wing...loved every episode
watching Two Cathedrals right now actually, been binge watching for the past couple days and has really cut into my school work
Currently showing my wife DS9 (which is my favourite TV show of all time). Just watched The Vistor she cried throughout.
Watched the first episode of Westworld looks interesting enough of a change to the original film as well to keep you interested IMO.

Soooo much darker than the movie. Could be a classic, but hoping it's not a classic for 1 or 2 seasons, then falls apart because the studio never planned for it.
I'm hoping it is a 1/2 season thing and not draw out, I could see the top dogs thinking of doing a medieval world spin off. BUT IMO it isn't show that has a long premise in it IMO.
Trouble is US shows like to keep them on past there sell by date.
