Law and Order (1978)

Originally broadcast in 1978, *Law & Order* is a powerful and controversial four-part drama that offers a bleak, unflinching look at the British justice system. Not to be confused with the popular American procedural, this gritty series follows a single criminal case from four distinct perspectives. Each episode focuses on a different participant: the investigating police, the accused criminal, his determined solicitor, and finally, the unforgiving prison system. Praised for its stark realism, the show was groundbreaking for its portrayal of institutional corruption and moral ambiguity. It presents a world where the lines between right and wrong are blurred, and true justice feels frustratingly out of reach. This landmark series has ended, but sign up for a reminder just in case it returns.
