Good-Will

Jimmy McGovern's original series was brilliantly written to expose the vagaries of UK law, where people who didn't fit into societal norms but had no intention to harm found themselves up in court and were sentenced/released due to the strict definitions and sentencing guidelines of a particular crime, whether they deserved it or not It was a plea for a sense of humanity expected of a legal system which found people guilty or innocent based on what most people would call a technicality. Technicalities in law can work to vindicate the powerful and to punish the meek, but this US series seems to take the entire concept of justice to a different place where good always triumphs. It's just not very exciting to watch an episode where the conclusion is so easily predictable. My advice would be to watch the original BBC series which was far more thought provoking than this. (This review written after watching the first two episodes, FYI)
