Excellent,

I have to disagree with the other reviews on the site as i found this this drama absolutely superb. I did not watch it on t.v and as it is a bit long spent two evenings enjoying every minute of it. The end blew me away and like all of Mr horowitz previous work, i can highly recommend this drama. No one can get it 100% right, but this is near on it!

An Injustice, but for the wrong reasons...,
By
This review is from: Injustice [DVD] (DVD)
To begin with, Injustice was the best British drama I've seen in a long time. It features James Purefoy (who was great as Mark Anthony in Rome) as William Travers -- a former star lawyer (with a murky past) -- recovering from a nervous breakdown in Sussex. It also stars Charlie Creed-Miles, as Mark Wenborn -- a repulsive (though thoroughly believable) police detective. When he gets the scent of a lead, Wenborn gradually starts hounding Travers, and unearthing the skeletons in the lawyers closet (as the latter reluctantly agrees to take on another high profile murder defence). The pacing seemed fantastic, the acting (including Derlva Kerwin as Traver's wife) was quality, the lack of melodrama (in the age of Luthor and Spooks) was impressive and the overall tone of the drama was (an increasing rarity for TV drama outside of Scandanevia) mature.I don't know what went wrong, really. It felt like the series had been rushed from about halfway in, as it degenerated into simply being an average drama (with the same over-the-top plot twists that you see everywhere else today) ... I won't give the game away, but surely they could have come up with a far better ending? It felt like they were adding twists simply for the sake of it -- to make things more... "dramatic"! There wasn't even a proper confrontation between the pair of them; it simply fizzled out (in fairly ludicrous style!...) With a little better plotting in the second half, this series could well have been one of the best of the year. It's such a pity, really, as the two lead characters were totally captivating and it was all set up so well. It is worth watching if you didn't get chance to see it on TV; it's just not (in my opinion) as good as it could have been.

Superb,

This review is from: Injustice [DVD] (DVD)
I am not a keen fan of the five day episodes in a week as they always start at 9 and then clash with five other shows (Chicago Code, etc) This has been an exception.Thoroughly enjoyed the drama. Creed Miles, James Purefoy and the rest of the cast have all been first rate. There are tons of red-herrings, of course, as with all crime dramas. I was fairly happy with the ending. Not sure I can totally believe James Purefoy's character and his '100% certainty of innocence when taking cases' Wenborn (Creed Miles) has been superb as the 'out of control / bad tempered / willing to do some dubious deals to get his man' detective. Would have made for an interesting crime drama in its own right.
