Synopsis

On the surface William Travers is a picture of success. An accomplished criminal barrister happily living with his wife in rural Suffolk. However, Travers is still recovering from a traumatic series of events that have shaken his belief in the legal system. Reluctantly, he is drawn into a case that involves his old friend Martin Newall who faces conspiracy and murder charges while at the same time being investigated by a vicious and vengeful detective DS Mark Wenborn.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
rgu-29744 This show was pure entertainment from the start. Good story with a twist, good acting, a few surprises and well worth watching.
Bene Cumb Similar to Scandinavian crime thrillers, the British ones are also the ones I try to see as soon/much as possible. Some are great, others good, but never disappointing or causing blah! feelings. Injustice has an unusual number of episodes - 5 - and is a fair mind- twister, where events and destinies intertwine and attitudes and opinions go back into decades before. True, not all characters and scenes are of equal importance and credibility (e.g. DI Mark Wenborn), and some crucial points were revealed too far, but James Purefoy's performance in particular and skilfully captured spirit provide the series with suitable and thrilling background. Unless you are used to the model "one case per episode", you can definitely obtain good memories from the one in question.Referring to the final episode, one could have suspected the following season, but "so far - not good".
ComedyFan2010 I am pretty disappointed after it ended. The show seemed to have so much more potential and ideas than that lazy finale.The show seemed to have very smart. I expected something about the idea of injustice, and what it means. I thought that since the first guy William killed was an animal rights activist that used violence to get what he saw as justice, there will be some philosophizing about how what Will does can be compared to it and more thoughts on performing self justice. I thought that since William was going through psychologically painful time of questioning the legal system after he defended someone who was indeed guilty he will not be able to handle defending his innocent friend Marting and this would end up sending him to jail and thus again showing the injustice happening.Nothing like that happened. The ending was laughable. My thoughts on the final episode are in my review on this episode. I find it very lazy to suddenly make Martin interested in child pornography. Not only was it basically out of nowhere and William's thought process made no sense whatsoever, it also was just a cheap move to make people in our easily manipulated and child crazy society to see what Will has done justifiable and right without giving it any deeper thought. I think the only people who will be satisfied with this kind of the finale are fat, uneducated housewives who watched Nancy Grace and until now are crying about "baby killer" being out and how they would want to kill her. Which also explains why the group who gave this show the highest score are females 30-44.I am also kind of sad that the story of Alan and his book wasn't really developed. He was just the link to the gun Will used, and while I can see that it is a mini series but I wish there was a bit more to it.There are lots of clichés in this show. I already mentioned that the guys who were lynched by William both committed crimes with children involved. Then we also have the good, talented guy that was bullied and one day couldn't handle it and shot the bully. The mean cop who is abusive to his wife because he got changed by his work. And his partner is of course a new, nice guy. The animal rights person who is of course the evil one because he cares about other living beings as well. etc. etc. etc. But I must say most of them didn't bother me too much. Except for the first one, but this is just because it happened twice, and one should not overuse such a formula in a 5 episodes show.So why after writing so many negative things do I still give it 7/10? Well, because the rest was pretty good. The acting was absolutely high class. There isn't one actor who I think wasn't giving a top performance throughout the show. There were great scenes, great dynamics The ideas were all very good as well. If only one could rewrite the ending it would have been a real masterpiece of television.
michelle-baldwin1 I felt compelled to put pen to paper myself after watching this thoroughly enjoyable drama, I would say by far the best thing on ITV in 2011 Purefoy is at his best with a great support cast in Miles, Diveney, Parker and Dunning. Love to see more of this in the future, the writing is from Anthony Horowitz known for Foyles War, Murder in Mind, Midsommer Murders and The Gift. In the beginning you see only success from Travers lifestyle but it soon unravels into a web of intrigue, not everything is what it seems, flashbacks are used to build a powerful story of a man with a secret in his past, will it catch up with him?
