Newton's Law

AudienceAudience: 7.1

With her low-flying solicitor's practice incinerated by a disgruntled client, her marriage collapsing and motherhood fast losing its charm, Josephine Newton's old uni friend and not-so secret admirer, Lewis Hughes, persuades her to resume her briefly glorious career at the Bar. As she rises to the challenge, though, trading the benefits of her brilliant mind for a berth in the lofty glamour of Knox Chambers, Josephine realises it's not so easy to leave her entourage behind.

My take

A gripping exploration of ambition and consequence, Newton's Law examines how power operates within institutions and personal relationships. This miniseries captures the tension between idealism and corruption with sharp dialogue and compelling character arcs, designed for viewers seeking intelligent drama.
