The latest season of Showtrial has been receiving glowing reviews from viewers, with many praising the gripping and heart-breaking plot that keeps them hooked episode after episode. The talented acting of one of the lead stars has also been a major highlight for fans.
Originally released in 2021 on BBC One, Showtrial follows the dramatic story of a woman on trial for murder. Three years later, the show has returned with a brand new case, this time involving a police officer accused of a hit and run incident that resulted in the death of a man.
Adeel Akhtar takes on the role of Sam Malik, a defense lawyer who represents the accused police officer, Justin Mitchell. The first episode sets the tone with intense and gruesome scenes as a climate activist is killed in a hit and run, using his last breaths to name his alleged killer.
With all episodes now available on BBC iPlayer, fans have been raving about the show and praising the talented cast. One viewer even called Adeel "one of the finest actors working today."
