Oh, God, I mean, WHAT!

Have just turned over from Heroes and have watched a mere 5 (count 'em, 5) minutes of LAW & Order UK.

So far, the CPS have invited a couple of defendants and the solicitor into the CPS offices for a plea bargain, with a certainty of the sentence to be served if they plead guilty. Which is just... No!

And Freema's been running round the streets of London interviewing a witness, in the street! Words fail me.

5 minutes, that's all. And that 5 minutes is enough to establish that it bears no resemblance to the actual practice of law.

Oh, they've just got one of the defendants in with the same solicitor who represented both defendants earlier but not with the other defendant and are offering him (one of the defendants) a bargain if he'll testify against the other defendant. Oh, 'cos that's not a conflict of interest at all, is it on the part of the solicitor?

Crap. Complete crap. It's been...8 minutes now and that's enough to establish that it may rival Judge John Deed for badness. *cries*

That's so sad because I love some of the actors, just like I love Martin Shaw and hated Judge John Deed. I didn't even watch episode 1 but thought I might try it some time. After your two posts I think perhaps I won't!

Yeah, you and me both - love Martin Shaw but can't watch Deed. Love Jamie and Ben and Freema, but am not sure the blood pressure could take watching the show.
