Defending the Guilty - Season 1 (2019)

Enthusiastic trainee barrister Will Packham is vying with three others for a permanent place at his Chambers but feels he is just a dogs body to cynical senior Caroline. In the pub with snide rival Liam he meets and sleeps with the flirtatious Selina but she turns out to be a juror at Caroline's murder trial. However he also discovers evidence that discredits Liam and helps Caroline win her case, putting one over on smug prosecutor Ashley. This does not prevent his being mugged by a 'grateful' client.

Over the course of two days, Will has to defend a would-be murderer, keep a young slam poet out of custody and fetch Caroline a range of pastries.

As Will grapples with whether to tell his girlfriend about his recent indiscretion, his new-found notoriety throws up a juicy opportunity. Meanwhile Caroline wonders how much to reveal about a particularly unappealing client.
