New series on PBS "Silk"....

Synopsis:

Having just won an important case, Martha is given two new cases for the next day, with a chance of getting a good reference for her Silk application. Under huge time pressure, Martha has to prepare overnight. But will she be able to satisfy both the personal and the professional demands placed on her? Or will she be forced to sacrifice one case in order to win the other?

In an effort to boost her Silk application, Martha accepts a rape case, against her better judgment. Even worse, Clive is prosecuting her client and delights in riling Martha. As the case draws to a close, Martha begins to realize that things are not always black and white, especially when she makes a startling discovery.




It said it began yesterday, I didn't see it announced until today. I went to my search function and was able to set my DVR up to record the whole series including part 1 (3 parts only to whole series, I think.)

Looks pretty good if anyone is interested.

But this (Silk) makes me think that series must be finished. It was so good! Did you catch that one?

I am so appalled by television in the US,
I find myself drawn to brit series..better writing,
intelligent story lines, and better production values.
