PICK OF THE DAY

AMERICAN JUSTICE, 9PM, BBC2

IN AMERICA, the people can decide who delivers law and order — sheriffs and judges are usually elected officials. With one of the highest murder rates in the U.S., the city of Jacksonville also has one of the toughest justice systems, headed by the notoriously hardline State Attorney Angela Corey, who is seen by some as overzealous. This compelling new series meets Corey as she campaigns for re-election, as well as following the work of other members of the justice system, charged with the thankless task of trying to keep the peace in the ‘murder capital’ of Florida (including detective Bobby Bowers and prosecutor Janeen Kirch, pictured).
