TV SERIES: THE Escape Artist

 I've said it a thousand times already but I'm madly in love with British film and theatre industry. My latest revelation is Original British Drama on BBC One.

 The Escape Artist starring dazzling David Tennant is a three-episode suspenseful drama where the story revolves around Will Burton, a successful lawyer of unprecedented intellect. He's never lost a case but does everyone deserve a defense? A ruthless murderer evades penalty and turns Will's life into a nightmare. His wife was killed yet her murderer just walks away. From now on the drama starts exploring a thin line between law and justice and I personally have had a splendid time watching it. Is he really the Escape Artist?

A few words about the script – it's smart, it's full of suspense, totally unpredictable and simply won't let you change the channel. It's a bit slower than CSI and all the rest which makes it a bit more realistic as well. I particularly enjoy it when protagonist and antagonist switch places and the characters are complex so you have to think, doubt, go “argh!” before rooting for any of them.  

David Tennant's acting is superb (well, it was kind of expected). Along with Broadchurch and Politician's Husband The Escape Artist is another masterful creation of this genius brought to us in 2013.
