"The Escape Artist" (2013) is a BBC legal thriller you can watch online on iFILM, starring David Tennant as a criminal barrister who has never lost a case. Directed by Brian Welsh.
Will Burton specialises in the hopeless kind of defence work: the accused everyone already considers guilty. When he takes on a notorious murder case and gets the suspect — played by Toby Kebbell with a genuinely unsettling flatness — acquitted, the professional win becomes a personal catastrophe. Sophie Okonedo and Ashley Jensen round out a strong supporting cast.
Three episodes, tight and cold. This is not a courtroom procedural — it's about what happens when the law works exactly as intended and the outcome is still wrong. Stream "The Escape Artist" (2013) online on iFILM.
