Amazon.co.uk Review

The fact that John Thaw was able to make his eponymous character in Kavanagh QC stand out as a unique personality distinct from the superficially similar Inspector Morse says much about his understated skills as an actor. Thaw brought his trademark mixture of curmudgeonly belligerence and gruff sensitivity to Kavanagh, but the barrister--who first appeared on our screens in 1995 while the Oxford detective was still alive and kicking--is no polished-up Morse. He is far worldlier, is married and has a family. And although he is often troubled by his cases, he is never afraid to play the system. He knows that there are devious, even superficial lawyers, some of them in his own chambers, who he must face across the courtroom, but he acknowledges them as an unavoidable aspect of the world in which he works.

The plots are often convoluted, but Kavanagh's wielding of the trusty sword of truth is always irresistible, particularly when the case involves some kind of high-level government aberration. "The End of Law" is a case in point; a particularly nasty tale about an unexceptional businessman framed for a murder which covers up an unpleasant security scandal. It's dark and dirty and full of troubling compromises. In the end, as with most of his cases, Kavanagh's craggy features convey a subtle hint of the sourness which comes with his chosen territory. --Piers Ford



Synopsis

In the courtroom, esteemed Barrister James Kavanagh Q.C. tackles tough cases involving rape, pornography, vigilantes, and prostitutes, but his most difficult battles occur at home, where he tries to balance his familial duty with the pressures imposed on him by his job. Contains all the episodes from the first series: "Nothing But the Truth," "Heartland," "A Family Affair," and "The Sweetest Thing."

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth watching!, 6 Sep 2004
By H. Lacroix (France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Every person who enjoys courtroom dramas will like Kavanagh QC.
John Thaw is impeccable as James Kavanagh, a man of convictions and integrity,juggling with a time-consuming job and his concern for his family. The other cast members are equally good and the stories always interesting with , very often, a subtle twist at the end.
Dealing with people, emotions, prejudice... never lachrymose or overtly sentimental, it makes very good viewing.
