Just saw this from a newsletter link from Sisters in Crime (thanks, gals!) It’s a very funny lesson in “British Justice” from the folks at BBC America, who want us not to be concerned that the imported Law & Order: UK might be too foreign. Watch this crash course— you’re ready for your A-levels!

You know, I’ve heard SO many good things about this show, I’m thinking I’m going to have to give it a shot.

The character with the Irish name is usually the villain so it’s become very predictable.
