Corruption would “make Lincoln roll over in his grave.”

Certainly one of the better UK police series. Others of high quality are Happy Valley (you would need subtitles on though) and Broadchurch.
But yes the above episode is relevant to corruption. It has twists and turns which make for great viewing, too.

The particular episode not only involves corruption, it is particularly relevant to the issue of child abuse.

Perhaps your wife should like to make a comment on this particular episode if she can recall any of the details. But I think that it is an episode that needs to be watched afresh if one wants to tie it to immediately current events. In retrospect, I thought that this episode was amazingly well done.

Did you happen to see the coverage yesterday of the father of three girls who had been sexually abused by this doctor? He asked the judge in open court for "five minutes alone" with this convicted child abuser in a closed room. When this request was refused, he asked for "one minute." And, there was more.

we watched that episode about 3 months ago and I can still recall the storyline (that can show you the impact). Apart from anything else, the whole thing seemed far-fetched but was parodoxically credible. Issues involved corruption resulting from immoral behaviour that flowed into what can only be described as evil actions. And otherwise innocent people being caught up in a web of corruption that ultimately destroyed them.
