He plays Marcus McGrath..

Marcus is a sharp, highly skilled lawyer who never hesitates to stand up for himself. He has a quick wit that works well on friend and foe. Contrary to his boss, Marcus possesses an extremely strong sense of justice. His goal is pure truth, not some foggy, manipulated version concocted in order to win a case.

Is there no love for the Gunn man ? Wow. I' d figured there'd be at least some comment from the peanut gallery on how J's being type cast as a lawyer, once again, since his upload from W/H

He's a crooked prosecutor who likes innocent defendants to suicide in jail, after a 25-year sentence for throwing a coffee cup.

This show focuses on the real-world corruption of the "justice" industrial slave complex.

Tips on how judges pervert justice by extorting other judges.

Not a lot of humor. Lots of neuroses.

Cheers for the info. Will definitely look out for this one. I always thought J. was great in Angel. Now let's hope some UK network buys the show.

Thanks for the heads-up.

The writers/producers actually comment in the forums. What a concept.

Gunn is conflicted, but appears to be turning evil. Perhaps the system does that to prosecutors.

Thanks, PN. I watched all three episodes on that site and am completely hooked. It's not as good as Eli Stone, but good enough for me to buy when it comes out.

The Gunn Man's character is a bit colorless though. And God, I can't stand the self-righteousness of the prosecutors. They are certainly not portrayed in a very good light.
