    A solid start.

    Trainee Barrister Will is up against it, working for Caroline as a General Dog's body, it's hard to see how Will can progress.

    Will is on the case of a serious offender, his outburst in court was very funny, that was the standout moment. It follows the recent trend of BBC comedies, like Don't forget the driver, it wasn't exactly a laugh out loud comedy, but it was enjoyable, Katherine Parkinson is always great to watch, and she was very good in this.

    It wasn't vintage, but it was enjoyable. 6/10
