Oh my God you guys, I'm so obsessed with Murder One right now. Do you guys remember this show? It's basically "Veronica Mars," grown up and made bald and cranky: it traces the course of a single murder trial and the unravelling of the mystery over the season (while also dealing with trial-of-the-week cases).

It's unsubtle, at times, and there aren't many characters you can latch onto - everyone's a bastard to a different degree, and while the lead character is admirable in the way that he understands himself, understands the system, and has an unfailing code, even so he's totally cool about about defending - well - anyone. Even so the show is supremely watchable. It's interesting and well-written, and is perfectly willing to confront moral quandaries - territory most procedurals avoid.

It's also available on Hulu. So if you have some free time, I would highly recommend burning it away on that show instead of, you know, writing a novel, or becoming an accomplished polo player.
