Description
In this superlative courtroom drama series, John Thaw (Inspector Morse) is respected and feisty British barrister, James Kavanagh, a top member of Queen's Counsel. Beneath the powdered wig and sombre robes is a relentless mind able to tear the truth from a tangle of legalese, lies and desperate excuses. Even as his professional triumphs mask a troubled private life, James Kavanagh will go to any lengths to see justice served.

 Kavanangh QC Diplomatic Baggage May 6, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
It was ok overall. Not as memorable as the first two seasons of Kavanangh. I'm a huge fan of the genre so this won't stop me from further purchases.
Disappointed and Surprised November 17, 2005

The title In God We Trust shows shocking ignorance and bias against the southern United States. Perhaps there are some individuals in 2005 that fit the picture drawn by this program but it is gross distortion to portray an entire community in this fashion. I am surprised John Thaw participated in it. He should have known better than to tarnish his memory.
Doh! This is the son of the house having a bit to add. I agree with Dad that the portrayal of the local officials in this episode was horrible--they got their accents well but such bigotry just isn't tolerated. I liked the performance of the regulars. I disliked the treatment of Thaw's character by some of the locals there in Florida--very disrespectful of the man I thought.
Guess you can tell that Dad and I have a good opinion of Mr. Thaw. =) Nothing in this product has affected this opinion.
P.S. I noticed the audio quality sometimes wasn't as good as in Inspector Morse. Specifically it seems to want to go some thx setting from regular old stereo and flutters between the two.
 Continuation of an Excellent Series September 6, 2005

Kavanagh Q.C. gets better as it goes along and as you watch John Thaw in this series, you feel again the regret that he'll be in no more series or movies. He invests the role of Kavanagh with authority, compassion, humor and not a little acerbity, a very nice mix. In this set, there is more of the dark side of the law, politics and life than in some of the earlier episodes, and somewhat less of his personal family life ( which pleases me) but all are very well done. The one involving the daughter of an ambassador is particularly engrossing and chilling, giving as it does a view into the very machiavellian British civil service and intelligence communities. In all, 3 excellent additions to an outstanding series.
