In the last Kavanagh series, the plots and characters remain as strong as ever. James Kavanagh retains his gravitas, often opposing his pretentious colleague, Jeremy Aldermatin QC.
Previous Convictions makes a vivid opening episode. Following an RAF aircraft craft which kills 22 people at a motorbike scrambling event, James faces a difficult decision. Should he represent the young anarchist accused of sabotage, or withdraw from the case to support his emotionally scarred son? Meanwhile, Jeremy struggles to shed his haughtiness, promoting a common touch to seek selection as a Labour MEP candidate.
A young drug addict, accused of arson and killing his girlfriend, makes an emotive subject in The More Loving One. James gains little success in getting his unresponsive client to speak, until he gambles on raising a previous guilty admission to arson. As an emotionally troubled colleague confides in James, his own private life starts to look more hopeful.
A Home Office Minister, despised by some police officers, faces a charge of abuse against a teenager in Time of Need. As the police exert pressure on witnesses in order to defend themselves against a charge of malicious prosecution, the complainant keeps changing his story. The plot becomes murkier until the truth is discovered.
In End Games, James and Jeremy both represent defendants in an appeal against their convictions for armed robbery and murder. James struggles with his conscience by pleading that the defence at the trial, at which he was junior counsel, was inadequate. Jeremy's appeal on the other hand concentrates on irregularities in the police station. This is one of the most poignant episodes in all the Kavanagh series, and is a stark reminder of the difference between law and justice.
The End of Law brings the last series to a close. The Lord Chancellor's Department exerts considerable pressure to persuade James to withdraw from representing a businessman convicted of murder. As new evidence is discovered at the appeal, the case takes an unexpected twist. As always, the plot is strong and intricate, although I'm not sure why it was given an extended episode.
Rating the episodes individually, I would give the last episode four stars, whilst the previous episodes each deserve the full five stars.
