Trial & Retribution

Someone said good to watch when your queues dry up and you can catch 2episode arch.David Hayman is now 72- so this is 13 years ago?

There may be better and more consistent shows in the crime genre than 'Trial and Retribution', but despite its problems mostly in the later seasons at its best 'Trial and Retribution' was excellent.It is agreed that 'Trial and Retribution' was better in its earlier seasons, particularly in the first six cases of the show with Pat North still in the show.

One of the most annoying, arrogant and hateful characters on TV. How this guy came to be a Superintendent beggars belief.

I believe. When I saw how many seasons there were and I knew it came out years ago so I started later.

If law and order in Britain were anything like this series, they'd get it wrong even when the evidence jumped into their arms and grabbed the ubiquitous scotches and cigs. Well-acted intriguing characters -- always LaPlante's forte -- are worth watching, even if rampant incompetence among police, lawyers, judges and juries seems to be what drives the stories rather than clever twists.

The leads in this series were pretty good. My wife and I gave up after Season 3 (6 episodes total): the crimes were too morbid.

I So love this show Trial and Retribution. I recently fount it on Acorn TV in Canada and have been binge watching like crazy.

Written by Lynda La Plante, I naturally wanted to see this TV series. She has written some really good crime shows.

I agree with pretty much everyone else that the later seasons aren't as good as the early ones and that the Roisin character is not an adequate replacement for North...not sure why they did that, I'm guessing the original actress wanted out for some reason?
