Season 1

Explore the dark corners of the criminal-justice system in New York City as they swirl around a young Pakistani-American man who stands accused of the murder of a young woman on the Upper West Side in this riveting eight-part miniseries. Starring John Turturro as an embattled defense attorney and Riz Ahmed as his young client, the story centers on the brutal murder, the subsequent investigation and the prime suspect--a likeable, unassuming college kid who finds himself and his family thrown into the pit of NYC's criminal, legal, penal and judicial system. Meanwhile, his lawyer--an inveterate 'precinct trawler' who lucks into the biggest case of his life--becomes entangled in a web of complicated legal maneuverings by detectives and rival attorneys that undermine his ability to try the case.
