  1. It’s a Belgian TV show where the most interesting thing about it was seeing how a French style Court of Assizes differs from an adversarial British court. Setting it in Australia means it is just an ordinary murder trial with a twist. Yes it has a large cast because there’s a jury, but most of them are there just to make up the numbers in jury bench and room, discussing what to order for lunch today.
