Anyone watching Showtrial on BBC1 and iPlayer? It's a really good drama. All episodes are available and I'm on episode 2. Can envisage binge watching! smile

I’ve caught up with you Spatklefizz just watched episodes 1 and 2 (one after the other 😀) Excellent.

Yes, really good so far. Only watched the first episode. I thought the second was on tonight.

All episodes are available on iPlayer

Sadly not for us Sparklefizz the apps are being stupid so will have to wait.

The licence fee is worth paying just to see this drama.

I am enjoying it. I want to see the relationship develop between Sam Malik and Justin Mitchell as Solicitor and client.

Haven't seen that but discovered 'Big Cats' this morning as trying to avoid the news.

I've got tradesmen working in the house today so have stayed out of their way and binge watched all the episodes of Showtrial, and in my opinion it is brilliant. Highly recommend.

So have I, it was excellent. The Asian actor who played the barrister was outstanding in my opinion. 👍

I was thinking it had ended on a cliff hanger, then realised that the final episode hasn't been released on iPlayer, presumably until it's been shown on BBC1.

Yes, NanKate, the Asian actor was excellent. I agree.

Binge watched it. It was absolutely excellent.

NanKate, he's Adeel Akhtar - one of the best actors around, he's excellent in everything he does. Haven't watched this yet as we've just binge-watched Luwig, but it's next on the list.

Did they really say someone took the ferry from Portsmouth to Calais? 😮

I've seen one episode, but I'm busy with work, so am saving the rest for a celebratory binge when I've got through the pile.

I enjoyed Series 2 of Show Trial so much that I decided to watch Series 1 which is also on iPlayer - another very good drama.

TerriBull Fri 11-Oct-24 10:48:20

I've started watching Series 2, like the first series, an above average drama. If only, there were more made of this calibre. I look forward to seeing the rest.

Jane43 Fri 11-Oct-24 23:03:06

I have watched three episodes and I think it is excellent. I am wondering why I missed the first series so will watch that when I have finished this one.

Have now watched series 1 and 2 of Showtrial and both are excellent. I recommended it to my hairdresser today as he hadn't heard of it. Neither had I until I read this thread so I must gave missed the hype to publicise it if there actually was any.

Susieq62 Sun 13-Oct-24 15:10:22

Must go back to series one to refresh my memory as already hooked on series two!
Also binge watching “Industry” ! Not for everybody but I am enjoying series two 👍

Or maybe just The Actor who played the solicitor or maybe say Sam Malik! I'm quite sure he does not see himself as "The Asian Actor"

LucyAnna2 Sun 13-Oct-24 17:33:21

Just started watching this - pretty impressed so far.

annodomini Sun 13-Oct-24 23:46:47

I've just watched the first two episodes and would be watching the next one if it wasn't almost midnight. It's definitely a 'must watch'.

Doodledog Mon 14-Oct-24 00:10:28

I've stayed up to watch all of it, and was gripped. Michael Socha is a good actor, and Adeel Akhtar is very talented.

Michael Socha is striking to look at, and has a dangerous air about him. The roles I remember him in (he was in This Is England and The Gallows Pole) are very different, but he plays a similar character.

It's well worth watching. I didn't see the first series to the end, but will go back and rewatch it. Not tonight though grin

I watched the first series and was gripped. Will watch the second series too. Sam Maalik was excellent in Fool Me Once, which is on Netflix.
