American Crime Story: A Jury in Jail (2016)
Season 1, Episode 8
7/10
Civil service? Or a prison sentence?
5 April 2017
'A Jury in Jail', although not as scintillating as prior episodes is still solid and exposes the quiet sufferers in this trial: those forced to offer a verdict. Not only do they shoulder the weight of a murder trial, but the draconian restrictions (eight whole months) are enough to drive any of us mad. Even the deputies are more like prison guards; it's a brilliant way to stage the episode which also has one of the season's best openers.

The other real notable is just a single like (from Gil Garcetti) but really emphasizes the glove's shadow looming over the prosecution; that no amount of DNA science can win a case like a bloody glove. And we all know that sobering reality.

7/10
