Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 24' - After the Verdict - Miniseries

More catch up time on Stan now, with, After the Verdict, the six-part courtroom drama that aired on Nine Network (owners of Stan) back in the winter of 2022.

Four people finish jury duty on a high-profile murder case, however, once back in their regular day-to-day lives, they start to question their verdict and begin their own investigations. That obsession with the case begins to impact their personal lives.

With an all star Aussie cast including the Last King of the Cross, Lincoln Younes, Sullivan Stapleton, Michelle Lim Davidson and Magda Szubanski.

All four were brilliant as were the supporting cast of Wentworth's Virginia Gay as Trish and Home & Away's Tess Haubrich as Heidi Lang.

Unfortunately in TV history, After the Verdict was the second court room/legal drama for Australian TV that year. Following The Twelve which was commenced airing only two months earlier.

In a small TV world, two court room dramas in the one year is a bit much. The Twelve had better luck winning a few awards while being renewed for a second season currently filming in WA. Moving from NSW to the west.


While After the Verdict wasn't the hit Binge/Foxtel's The Twelve was, this had heart and a bit of fun. I am happy I caught up with this series in my Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 24' series.

Yes I have had a huge TV catch up over the past few months, however that will change now with True Detective back in Alaska, Total Control slaying in Canberra and Hightown commencing over the January long weekend.

After the Verdict may be one of my last binges ahead of a few new shows landing in the next little bit. Like on Stan Prosper, the Hillsong inspired drama or Fire Country and The Equalizer commencing on CBS in the USA next month. Along with my one network finale for the past few months, Found finishing its first season on NBC. The show has done well already renewed for a second season.

See you again soon. Maybe tomorrow even.
