Very Slik - Silk: Series 1 review by JD
This is a fantastic series. It is an inspired blend of courtroom drama, interesting characters, and an insight into the lives of barristers and clerks. Maxine Peake does a great job of playing a successful passionate defence barrister. You will remember this fondly for many months.
