Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Silk was a Law Procedural produced by The BBC, starring Maxine Peake and Rupert Penry-Jones. First aired in 2011, the show focuses on a group of London barristers, notably Martha Costello, who has had to fight her way up the ranks, and Clive Reader, who's got plenty of charm and cash. Both Martha and Clive want to become part of Queen's Counsel (called "taking silk"), but only one of them can get there. Add to this the scheming of senior clerk Billy, who sees everything that goes through chambers, and you've got yourself a recipe for disaster. Or, as it may happen, good television.They all wear wigs and flowing gowns, and spend a lot of time reading legal briefs.The show ran for three seasons and concluded in March 2014; while it was announced at the time this was a decision to "go out on a high" by Peter Moffatt, however subsequent Twitter comments and a strange ending imply the BBC pulled the plug themselves.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Silk / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: At times, Silk can feel like Peter Moffat has stuffed everything he's ever written into it. Silk is basically just a much darker, more sophisticated version of his old show North Square.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Amoral Attorney: Although Martha seems to genuinely care about the guilt or innocence of her clients, the truth is that even the guiltiest defendants deserve a fair trial. | |

Ascended Fridge Horror | |
Silk / int_cc8b2fd | comment |
Ascended Fridge Horror: Several times. Just because they get a "not guilty" verdict doesn't mean they're really free. One defendant in season two testifies against the criminal gang that forced him to commit assault, but is brutally killed for doing so. Especially horrible as it is noted several times throughout the episode that the client has the mind of a child. Despite the horrible acts he committed, he is in a sense, an innocent. His inability to carry out the full '5 sense' murder and his subsequent actions, lead to him being killed in the same way. He would have known exactly what was going to happen to him, and how excruciating it would be. Another defendant, given a way out of his life as a male prostitute, goes right back to that life when released. | |
