Rumpole of the Bailey (1978–1992)
10/10
Part lawyer, part detective
21 January 2024
This series closely follows the feeling and the sarcasm of the written stories. The stories are not in the same order as the book, however each one stands alone. In a brief time, there is posed a mystery or a problem and then some recognizable interaction with people that I am sure you can say you know someone like them. A little drama and it is finally wrapped up in short order. More than the stories that do not leave you hanging are the comments that make the episode interesting to watch.

Do not expect Rumpole to be a Perry Mason that wins every time, or a Johnathan Creek that figures out the impossible. Rumpole may lose now and then but to serve to teach "Us" a little about the real world.

A note on the side you will recognize many of the actors from both Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers movies.
