Four people are on trial. Accused of looking far too alike for the audience to tell apart these middle-aged white men in suits unless they're already familiar with them(with that said, all the acting is strong in this). Oh, and conspiracy to commit murder, and going through with it. That, too. Through a flashback we're given the situation, which I won't spoil here - I'll merely give you the tease that the defendants start it by insisting that the victim and they had all agreed to what took place(!).
Throughout, this raises interesting ethical questions, and mostly leaves it up to us to decide on them(the ending does get a tad preachy, and the late twist, while not at all being of the horrible "gotta have a surprise at the end", ruins all that came before it, type, it seems to think it's presenting one heck of a closing argument, and, well, speaking only for myself, it felt heavy-handed and unpersuasive. I suppose it's because of the time this was made, but I feel the widow had so little to do, character-wise(it doesn't help that she's solely a gender stereotype), that they should have excluded her entirely.
The various developments feel organic and fit what came before. This is the only episode I've seen, so I can't compare it to other ones. It's 45 minutes not counting the end credits, or 46 with. The pace is good, with this mostly dialog-driven(well-written and delivered) courtroom drama not losing our interest - even though the main suspense the series title alludes to, in this case, can only really apply to what we next find out about what transpired between the group, and the eventual sentence.
There is some disturbing content and a little non-graphic violence in this. I recommend this to any fan of having their views challenged by the TV they watch. 8/10
