ACCUSED, Series 1-2 (BBC One Drama Series)

International Emmy-winner for Best Drama Series and two-time Best Performance by an Actor (Sean Bean and Christopher Eccleston

Murder, arson, and other deadly offenses all have a flash point, when a person loses control over something, or someone, in their life. This star-studded, acclaimed anthology series turns the classic crime drama on its head and takes a compelling look at the true nature of guilt and innocence. Each episode follows a different character and reveals the crime through the eyes of the perpetrator, revealing how - and more importantly, why - it happened. Some characters are guilty, some are innocent, and others fall somewhere in between. But they're all ordinary people whose lives have quickly gone sideways - and they all stand accused. Series 1 and 2 stars Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who), Mackenzie Crook (Detectorists), Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who), Andy Serkis (Black Panther, Lord of the Rings trilogy), Olivia Colman (The Favourite, The Crown), Stephen Graham (Line of Duty, Boardwalk Empire), and Sean Bean (Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings). Each hour-long episode is a separate story about how one ordinary individual ended up in the dock to face his or her fate. Written by Jimmy McGovern (Cracker) (10 EPS, 2010-2012)
