Nicholas Pinnock in For Life (2020)
Aaron Wallace's fight continues in season two of "For Life," as the wrongfully convicted prisoner-turned-litigator and social crusader embarks on a more personal journey. Aaron is motivated by the hope of being reunited with his family and reclaiming a life of freedom to take up the mantle against systemic injustice from outside the prison walls. With continued help from the people who supported him-his family, a wily one-time public defender, Henry Roswell, and his former prison warden, Safiya Masry-Aaron continues his battle against the very political machine that once put him away, undeservedly. Inspired by the life of Isaac Wright Jr., "For Life" continues to shine an unrelenting light upon the institutional wrongs of our penal and legal systems.

    Brilliant
    Finally a refreshing TV Show that isnt based on false eyelashes & squeaky voiced prima donnas trying to make their mark. The acting and directing is superb & Felonious Munk was the right choice for the part. The series is especially good as its based on a true story and shows just how dirty and corrupt the US justice system is.
