Courtroom Drama

This riveting five-part legal drama, set in Bristol, follows the disappearance of a bright, conscientious student, and the almost immediate arrest of a suspect. Before a body is even found, Talitha Campbell (Celine Buckens, below), an arrogant rich girl, is arrested. Texts that Talitha sent to the missing girl, as well as her callous attitude and the fact that they’d fallen out, convince the police that she’s as guilty as sin. Refusing help from her millionaire property developer dad (James Frain), Talitha is in the hands of duty solicitor Cleo Roberts (Tracy Ifeachor), who has her own demons to fight. It’s from the same production company that’s behind Line Of Duty and Bodyguard, and is just as slick and gripping as those two hit dramas.
