The show focuses on the wide array of players involved in the trial, from attorney Theodore 'Teddy' Hoffman (Daniel Benzali) and his team of legal experts to key witnesses, jurors and the media. Murder One led the way for a whole host of crime and legal shows but only the real-time format of "24" has matched its intricate plot-twists and finely woven characters. Prominent Los Angeles defence attorney Theodore Hoffman has taken on the biggest case of his career. Hoffman is defending bad-boy TV & movie star Neil Avedon (Jason Gedrick) against the charge of murdering teenager Jessica Costello. Jessica is discovered slaughtered in a building owned by wealthy businessman Richard Cross (Stanley Tucci, Road to Perdition) who was originally charged with the murder, but successfully defended by Hoffman. As the case twists and turns, it transpires that Jessica was involved in lurid affairs with numerous prominent men, who have now all been cast into suspicion. Murder One: Case One on DVD comes with an intriguing look behind the scenes of this groundbreaking series with a 25 minute documentary entitled Making the Case: Season One. Actor Jason Gedrick and director Randy Zisk also provide fascinating insights into the show through commentaries on selected episodes. Like "24", Murder One boasts gripping storylines, lots of plot twists and turns and an amazing cast. Murder One's heady mix of sex, drugs and Hollywood kept viewers tuning into BBC2 week after week. Now you can follow the entire trial in one go on DVD. |
