Showtrial (BBC iPlayer)

Excellent - two series, five episodes in each

The first series, made in 2021, revolves around Bristol University and a student murder.

My son is at Bristol and it doesn't reflect well on an 'elite' UK uni...! :D





The second series, made this year, involves a 'Save the Earth' - eco type group and and a murder of the chief activist





Both superb and very watchable

They are not linked - separate casts, although written by the same bloke, so can be viewed in any order

Unequivocally recommended

Finished the second series a couple of weeks ago, pretty good stuff.

There was a four year gap between the series but the second series is going better so they are thinking of a third series and possibly using some of the key characters from series 2.

Bring back Sam....!!
