Courtroom dramas

The law filmed as it actually works, which is slowly and not always. The Thin Blue Line got a man off death row and invented a way of making documentaries doing it, Paradise Lost ran for eighteen years and three films, and OJ: Made in America uses one trial to explain a city. Each one is really about who gets believed.
