Synopsis
"Picket Fences" (1992) is a CBS drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Created by David E. Kelley, it stars Tom Skerritt as Sheriff Jimmy Brock and Kathy Baker as his wife Jill, the town doctor of Rome, Wisconsin.
Rome looks peaceful. It isn't. Bizarre and violent incidents land on Jimmy's desk with a regularity no small town should have, and the cases rarely stay simple — they tend to end up in front of a judge raising questions about conscience, law and what a community owes its own. Fyvush Finkel is on hand as the local defense attorney; Don Cheadle appeared here years before his career took off.
Kelley built the show as a moral stress test for American life, town by town and case by case — and it landed: Best Drama Series at the Emmys four consecutive times, with Skerritt and Baker both taking individual acting prizes. Stream "Picket Fences" online on iFILM.
