If 12 hit the spot, these will too

Common ground: courtroom drama

Gritty and contemplative in the same breath

Crime with a pulse of twists, in both cases
The difference: Sits closer to documentary than 12 does


Contemplative mystery, and it commits to that


Two things both keep coming back to: court case and jurors
The difference: 48 years apart, and the 1950s show

Gritty drama in both cases

Mystery built on stillness, twice over

Both lean on twists more than on crime

The mystery is handled with the same confidence

Both are built on the same subject: racism
