Synopsis

On the surface William Travers is a picture of success. An accomplished criminal barrister happily living with his wife in rural Suffolk. However, Travers is still recovering from a traumatic series of events that have shaken his belief in the legal system. Reluctantly, he is drawn into a case that involves his old friend Martin Newall who faces conspiracy and murder charges while at the same time being investigated by a vicious and vengeful detective DS Mark Wenborn.

Ditzy-Gypsy If I had given up because it was a tiny bit slower than the pace I was expecting up until about 3/4 of the way through the first episode, I'd have missed some fantastic entertainment. It was probably only slow to me because I'd just finished watching the movie about Cleveland mobster, Danny Greene, so my pulse was still pounding a bit. (I tend to really like biographical stories). This is a great story full of some really unexpected twists and very real and flawed characters who just pull you into the story even more. I loved it. The actors are not known to me --I'm in western Canada-- but that doesn't mean anything, because I usually forget the actors and only remember their characters if they've done a good job (plus I'm kind of ditzy with names). And they did an incredible job. If it were a regular TV show, I'd probably go and get cable again (I mostly rely on books and movies lately). Thank you to my friend, KJ, for insisting I watch it.
Corky1984 Injustice is exactly the kind of well-written drama series that ITV should be making more of. The plot centres on a seemingly high-flying lawyer, William Travers, who enjoys the trappings of wealth and is known for his success in court. The 5 episodes, however, show that his life is far more complex. Feeling guilty that one of his clients was acquitted of murder but later confessed privately to him that he had actually killed a young boy, Travers kills the man. We then follow the police investigation, as the moody and emotionally unstable DS Wenborn begins to track the killer. Worlds are about to collide, but Wenborn's life unravels more dramatically than could be expected. Travers, back in London defending an old university friend from a charge of murder, has deja vu when it emerges that his 'friend' is really a sick killer...the show finishes with Travers seemingly let off the hook.
huntgod Purefoy is excellent, I've been a fan since Rome. The supporting cast is also excellent, Creed-Miles does a fantastic job of being completely horrible, you truly relish hating him.It's well plotted and written, the dialogue and exchanges are sharp and spot on, all in all a really well done series, I am looking forward to a possible second series if they decide to produce it.Now for the caveats ---SPOILER WARNING--- The show was perfect up til the final reveal where they butchered the explanation and timelines. The CC coverage was established for the area, so there would have been footage of him entering the hotel and leaving TWICE, which would have been a flag, also every time an electronic door is accessed on a hotel room, it logs the open and close as well as the interval between and associates it to the key, so there would have been a clear log showing him returning, and the time, then leaving again. I assumed this wasn't brought up earlier because the "actual killer" was a professional that altered or modified the logs, this wasn't the case and there was no opportunity to fix the logs.All in all it was a shame that an otherwise brilliant series fell apart at the end with a poorly thought out explanation.
michelle-baldwin1 I felt compelled to put pen to paper myself after watching this thoroughly enjoyable drama, I would say by far the best thing on ITV in 2011 Purefoy is at his best with a great support cast in Miles, Diveney, Parker and Dunning. Love to see more of this in the future, the writing is from Anthony Horowitz known for Foyles War, Murder in Mind, Midsommer Murders and The Gift. In the beginning you see only success from Travers lifestyle but it soon unravels into a web of intrigue, not everything is what it seems, flashbacks are used to build a powerful story of a man with a secret in his past, will it catch up with him?
