Wow! Such a good movie.

Please don't spend money on this.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I had not seen this series before today.The first episode whilst not outstanding was well worth watching, decently acted and entertaining. However I couldn't help but note that no less than six of the actors had previously appeared with John Thaw as central characters in separate episodes of Inspector Morse:- George Costigan - The infernal serpent, Phyllis Logan - The daughters of Cain, Holly Aired - Last bus to Woodstock, John Shrapnal - Death is now my neighbour, Lisa Harrow - Sins of the father and Oliver Ford Davies - Second time around. There may have been others I had not spotted. I wonder if Thaw was instrumental in selecting the cast based upon their performances in the crime series.

Very mild spoiler alert: No specific shows are discussed, but the review does discuss tendencies in the show that might help you guess some endings.How about a defense drama where most of the clients are guilty, most of the rest may or may not be guilty (so the defense's efforts may well set a dangerous person free) and only a tiny, tiny minority are truly exonerated by crafty court work?How about one where the defense is not motivated by passion for justice but by the money one can make by skillfully defending the guilty while either lying to themselves about their motivations or simply embracing their own sociopathy? (How about some nice codas where the star sees a newspaper headline about the guy he freed killing someone?)How about a show where habitual criminals found holding the murder weapon are more likely to have committed the crime than upper-class people with no apparent motive, where police sometimes arrest people based on evidence rather than the need to clear a case by railroading the innocent and where basically everyone on earth aside from our hero (and you, dear enlightened viewer) isn't a racist, sexist jerk?If you answered a resounding "No" to all of those questions, then you might enjoy Kavanagh QC, though it's still just a poor man's Rumpole. If, on the other hand, you'd like a show about the law that plays something like life rather than every other law show in history, then pass.

This series is adult British drama at its best. Kavanagh is a lawyer magnificently portrayed by John Thaw and surrounded by a multitude of interesting characters. It never ceases to amaze me that this type of program is able to attract perfect believable actors for even the smallest roles. Many of the cases are thought provoking and the only one I didn't like was the American set "In God We Trust" which came across as well as US programs do when they portray UK situations! The only negative is that some of the video work when light is poor looks rather grainy. This might look good in some situations, but not in the court-rooms. This is a minor criticism. I thoroughly commend the series.

Kavanagh Q C gives us a glimpse of Inspector Morse, if he had become a barrister rather than a Chief Inspector,found love rather than solitude,and had hailed from Sargent Lewis's neck of the woods rather than Cambridge. This sort of television should be the norm, not a rare exception.
