Courtroom Drama Unfolds

Season Two of Showtrial Hits Screens with a Bang

Last night in London, fans were buzzing as Showtrial made its grand return to our screens with the much-anticipated second season. The opening episode had everyone talking, and while a lot of people were thrilled by what they saw, some couldn’t help but notice a pesky little factual mistake. It looks like a dramatic twist has come with a side of creative license!

High-Stakes Drama Unfolds

The hit series dives deep into the story of a high-profile climate activist named Marcus Calderwood, played by the talented Barney Fishwick. Things take a dark turn when Marcus is tragically knocked off his bike in a hit-and-run, leaving him fighting for his life. In his final breaths, he names a policeman, PC Justin Mitchell, portrayed by Michael Socha, as his supposed attacker. Talk about a jaw-dropping moment! But the big question is, did Justin really commit this shocking act?

Spot the Error!

As the police scramble to figure out what happened, they find some CCTV footage showing Justin’s car boarding a ferry from Portsmouth to Calais. But wait! Viewers immediately jumped on the gaffe, pointing out that there are actually no ferries from Portsmouth to Calais. Tweets began to flood in, with reactions ranging from disbelief to frustration. One user tweeted, “I hate it when writers of drama can’t be bothered to check simple facts,” while another added, “I’m sure this drama just talked about a car they were looking for getting on the ferry from Portsmouth to Calais – bit of creative license there with imaginary routes.”

Fans Still Hooked Despite the Slip-Up

Even with this minor hiccup in the storyline, Showtrial managed to keep its audience firmly on the edge of their seats. Many viewers expressed their love for the show, with one person raving, “I think we’ve got another winner show here! When’s the next episode?” Fans were all over praising Ben Richards, the writer, for crafting such an exciting season. Another viewer couldn’t help but give a shout-out to the cast, saying, “Michael Socha is great in this—between his performance and the always brilliant Adeel Akhtar, it’s more than enough to keep me watching.” Sounds like it’s a stormy sea of talent out there!

Delving Deeper

For those of you who haven’t yet taken the plunge, Showtrial sets the stage with electrifying questions: was Marcus’ death a horrible accident or a planned murder? The show masterfully weaves between the lives of its characters, including the anxious defense lawyer, Sam Malik, played by Adeel Akhtar, and the strict CPS lawyer, Leila Hassoun-Kenny (Nathalie Armin), who’s ready to take on the defense. The tension is palpable as public outrage grows and the series raises the crucial question: can a fair trial really happen when emotions are running so high?
