Martha Costello (Maxine Peake, Little Dorrit) is a brilliant, passionate defense barrister with a reputation for defending the poor and downtrodden. She is about to embark on the next step of her career and apply to be a member of the highly prestigious Queen's Counsel. But she's not the only one at her chambers applying. Joining Martha is Clive Reader (Rupert Penry Jones, MI-5); charming and ruthless, funny, gifted and dangerous. Only one is likely to be made QC so how they perform in court is vital and Clive knows how to play the game... Review: British courtroom coverage - First off, this is a view from the British system, quite parliamentary and filled with wigs and stiff judges. But behind the scenes, the British and American law firms are the same, doling out cases both for the defense and the prosecution, the in-house fighting still juggling for position, and the chess games moving into the courtroom. Which is where this series really takes off. Outstanding writing from Peter Moffat (who seems to have an extensive background in the judicial side of the court system), and even better acting, both good enough to keep this breakaway series fresh and a nice change of pace from the usual CSI-type dramas that flood both sides of the Atlantic. This is what happens AFTER the arrest, the planning of the trial and then the actual trial, as well as how each barrister deals with the pending results, often knowing that while they are right by law, the guilty party just might get off due to a lack of evidence for the jury. This tears at the lead actress, Martha, who values her moral and legal decisions and is torn by knowing the law and yet knowing how some are able to use that to get out of a crime. All in all, this first series (this ran three seasons but only season one is available in the US) is captivating with less soapiness then the covers leads you to believe. Give it a try...Maxine Peake's background (she plays the lead) mimics the role she plays, that of working her way up from a middle class background, part of the reason she was chosen in the auditions. As you'll discover, it was an excellent choice. One of the more overlooked BBC series, this is worth watching! Review: Superb Drama - Thoroughly engrossing, with an splendid cast, every nuance pitch-perfect. I enjoyed this more than anticipated. The best stories are about more than they at first appear to be, their narrative weaves in complexities and moral issues that we all struggle with. "Silk" massively succeeds in moving beyond the confines ambition, the law, and workplace strife, to a larger story of life. Well done, can't wait for Season 3! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Various | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 313 Reviews | | Format | Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC | | Genre | Feature | | Language | English | | Number Of Discs | 2 | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Various - **Format:** Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC - **Genre:** Feature - **Language:** English - **Number Of Discs:** 2 ## Images ![Silk: Season 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/911TXxKFaPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ British courtroom coverage *by C***S on November 13, 2014* First off, this is a view from the British system, quite parliamentary and filled with wigs and stiff judges.

I enjoyed this more than anticipated. The best stories are about more than they at first appear to be, their narrative weaves in complexities and moral issues that we all struggle with. "Silk" massively succeeds in moving beyond the confines ambition, the law, and workplace strife, to a larger story of life. Well done, can't wait for Season 3! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great story *by K***E on September 27, 2013* I really enjoyed this series and look forward to seeing it continue. It's interesting to see a law series that takes place in London. Things are different. Great acting.
