About this show

Martin Shaw plays GF Newman's free-thinking judge, John Deed. An idealist at heart, his more traditional colleagues regard him as a dangerous and unpredictable maverick. Armed with a sharp intellect and a passionate belief in justice, Deed doesn't allow himself to be influenced, even if it means making powerful enemies.
