5.0 out of 5 stars A classic, 20 Feb 2006
By Iain S. Palin (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I thoroughly enjoyed “Murder One” when it was shown television in the late1990s and was very happy to receive this set of DVDs. It remains an excellent series.

The format was unlike anything I had come across before, a single high-profile murder trial extending through the series, told from the point of view of the defense lawyer and with all the legal details – evidence hearings, jury selection procedures, and so on – all set out. Now you know why real life major trials in the US seem to take so long, and it was a fascinating insight into the process. The episodes are fattened out with subsidiary story lines about other cases and the characters’ private lives, and are never boring. As for plot twists, well, stay seated or you might get vertigo.

The whole cast is first rate, and it is good to see some who went on to other things (not so good to wonder what happened to some of the other excellent actors who seem to have disappeared since). The laurels must however go to the two characters whose struggle dominates the series, Daniel Benzali as gravel voiced magisterial defense attorney Ted Hoffman (a sort of good-guy version of his somewhat sleazy Attorney Sinclair character from “NYPD Blue”) and Stanley Tucci as the eerily-calm saturnine evil (or is he?) genius behind so much of what is going on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Addictive Viewing. Its the BEST...EVER, 27 Jan 2006
By P. Wade "PulpKult`s Read it...." (Zurich, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am ashamed to admit that I spend far too many hours watching TV. Or I should say DVDs. Between my local DVD rental store and Amazon.co.uk, who must think I'm the second coming.If I look at my credit card account, I can understand why.
What, if anything, has this to do with "Murder One"?

Only this. The DVD rental store will have to find another second coming, (is that a third coming, or a fourth?) Well, Murder One, is the best and I MEAN the very best, Who Done It, come Court Room Drama, EVER. For those of you who are like minded, the word addictive may come to mind. Try going to bed before you've watched at least four chapters,(you wont be able to). What about a quick couple of chapters, before going off to work? You will NOT be able to say NO.

Do NOT be surprised if you are thinking about Murder One, when you are on the train/bus, or driving in the car. Its amazing. You get to know the characters like in no other movie youve seen. You will find yourself trying to figure out, did so and so do it, or could it be the other guy, he may have just fitted it in a murder?

If you don't get this DVD set, I'm talking about the Boxed Set of six DVDs, (Series One) some 22 chapters, I think it is you will regret it BIG time.
You will NOT work out "who dun it", by the way. You will try and you wont be able to stop thinking about it.

The only thing I suggest you do not think about, is whether to buy this set or not. Buy it, and do it now. Amazon have the best price ever for it just now and it is worth every penny. (Trust me)

Enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars at last, 26 Jun 2004
This bombed in the states, but gradually attracted a huge following in the uk.I recall the outrage when the beeb delayed the final episode for dome daft reason. The public reaction made into the national press. It is gripping with twists and turns that keep you begging for the next episode, similar in many ways to 24, except more subtle. i have been waiting for years for its release, keep looking for the 2nd series.
