Injustice is a five-part British drama television series about criminal barrister William Travers, who has lost faith in the legal system following a traumatic series of events. The one-hour drama premiered on 6 June 2011 on ITV. The series was released on DVD on 13 June 2011 via Acorn Media UK.
Barrister Will Travers (James Purefoy), his wife Jane (Dervla Kirwan), who teaches at a Young Offenders' Centre, and their younger daughter live in the Suffolk countryside. Natalie Chandra (Sasha Behar), a London solicitor, asks Will to defend Martin Newall (Nathaniel Parker), an old friend, accused of murdering his secretary and lover but protesting his innocence. Jane is not happy when Will takes the brief on as they had left London years earlier after his last murder case, with Jane leaving behind a successful career as a publisher.
The killing of a reclusive farm worker, John Jarrold, takes place near to the Travers' home, and the investigation is led by the hardnosed D.I. Wenborn (Charlie Creed-Miles), who strongly dislikes Will after the barrister showed that one of his men lied in court to get a false conviction.
Catherine Gee of The Telegraph said of the first episode; "It’s such a nice treat to find decent drama on ITV1 – and since Downton Abbey it seems to be happening more and more. Anthony Horowitz’s new five-parter falls into this category. It manages to be intriguing without overplaying the drama or sentiment and it boasts some decent performances as well. James Purefoy is a successful barrister with a dark past. Once a high-flyer in London, a murder trial that went wrong caused him to have a nervous breakdown and he has opted for a more peaceful life in Ipswich – dragging his reluctant family along with him.
