详细剧情
Whilst Clive Reader celebrates his taking silk but Martha hits the bottle, angry that inspector Wright has lied in court to convict her client Johnny Foster. Later David, the teen-aged son of chambers head Alan Cowdrey, is arrested for causing the death of a policeman , one of six who kettled him during a demonstration. Martha believes David has been bullied into pleading guilty by Wright and wants Alan involved in his son's case but David is not keen to see his father.

In court she faces Wright, this time determined to beat him but evidence comes to light which weakens Martha's crusade.
长篇影评
1 ) 女神是恰好超脱的碧池
千钧一发的时刻，只有主角光环能拯救。同时看《SILK》和《The Good Wife》起码让我明白，永远不要低估一集律政剧的最后十分钟，那是光芒集中放射的时候。 于是，就任由这样的光芒放射了整整两季零五集，Martha苍白的脸绷得线条分明，红唇微启掷地有声，英音是有多好听，回荡在法庭的木桌木椅之间，传递着冰冷又热烈的理性。 是从她每次都让client望着她的眼睛，洞穿真相，识辨罪行真伪开始。 是从习惯她一丝不苟的妆容，墨镜，与开得飞快的跑车开始。 是从知道她会在不镇静时匆匆忙忙塞上耳机，也会忘情舞蹈开始。 是从发现她看billy的眼神总会多一丝柔情开始。 是从印刻下她抱着一堆材料，读着一桌子材料，拖着一行李箱材料开始。 是从感叹她驾驭得了一本正经孜孜追求的表情，也驾驭得了不设防的爽朗笑颜开始。 Martha越来越女神，光芒越来越强烈，直到越来越多女人出来抢戏，越来越多NPC开始闹幺蛾子。 第三季了，这部剧从主角模式逐渐切换到了群像模式，也开始从事件的残忍过渡到人生的残忍，你可以与活着的人争逐利益，却无法与将死之人谈论悲喜。 主角的光环在看剧的人心中最亮的时候，也是所有人的光环被打开的时候，你回想一下，Miss Warwick的坚毅表情，哪怕是拿起酒瓶子时帅呆的自在样子，跟Martha何其相似；Clive庭上举重若轻的风范丝毫不逊于Martha，Harriet这位第三季官方碧池施行想法时的雷厉风行，眼睛里那种逼人的光何尝不曾射瞎双眼震撼人心，更不要说办公室里的NPC们，做出令人惊诧的选择，袒露没人敢提的隐情，错愕在别人的痛失里，剧终了好歹有个交代，存在感刷刷地就来了。突然想起《The Good Wife》里的律师们，甚至Legal High的古美门和黛，他们没日没夜地埋首在材料里，奔忙在现场间，拼凑整理一个可以用来解释的框架，但旧旧的肃穆的法庭里横冲直撞的，是证据证言的点，是串起来的线，却从来看不见完整的空间，正如那个或许曾经被想起，又或许被丢弃一旁的Truth。Professional自身就是一种高高在上的尊严，在一个行业里从junior开始熬起，战战兢兢，满心忐忑，担心自己不够内行，mentor的心意不是你想猜，想猜就能猜，peer的机遇不是你想有，想有就能有。几十年熬成Martha的锐利，熬成Clive的圆滑，熬成Warwick的技巧之后，路途渐坦，视野渐宽，无暇感叹。 那时他们都已是举足轻重的角色。 那时他们都还是骁勇善战，巧舌如簧，响当当一队好碧池。听说默认用碧池模式活着，才不会是任人欺负的傻瓜，反正人人皆有碧池的一面，谁也不能指责谁。 但某个时候，世界会给有的人开另一扇门。 Micky在死亡之门前看到了他觉得matter的三件事，以何种方式死亡，留下的还有什么，死了之后去到哪里。Billy不想看到这扇门，拼命挡住自己的眼睛，挣扎，丧气，操最后一次苦心。 然而世界给了Martha一个旧爱的相逢，一次失灵的判断，一颗愈加纠结的内心。人在纠结的时候往往最容易瞎坚定，最后一集，就看着Martha一步步执拗地走向迷局的尽头，眼睛里却越来越多柔情。从前觉得，控方在她的精彩辩论面前是多么无力，而这次，眼看无力的变成了她自己。 办公室没有了Billy也运转得很好，没有了Martha也不会空荡。 将严肃的追求荒于嬉闹，使空旷的舞台繁花锦簇，独独在生死议题面前缄口不言，假装所惧怕的东西都烟消云散了，假装所追求的事物还生机勃勃。人终究也是个活物，谈温拿之路，谈世间功名，谈红尘八卦，到底超越不了物种与生命的界线，不越界，便可说为人之内行话，为一切真真假假、来来往往而慷慨陈词。 我满怀期待看着Martha从选举的人群中走到前面，好奇她会说些什么。她面对同样期待的大家，睁大眼睛问，Who am I ? 以前跟小伙伴们闲聊，说，一定要在职业规划里加上一条，那就是在达到目标后金盆洗手，往后潜心研制独门奶茶配方度过余生。想是，若能达到目标，想必已经对所在的行业失望透顶，各种见怪不怪，麻木不仁，可把胆战心惊、重重疑云加上一肚子八卦都化为笑谈。很多年前，等一个机遇入戏，很多年后，同样等一个机遇出戏。 不知道女神最后逃到了哪里，她开始想家，开始没有了愤怒错愕，剩下平静的表情，瘦削的身板在傍晚的繁忙街道边直直挺立。 熟悉而繁忙的shoe lane，女神踪影不再，主角光环彻底淡入夜色。 而那些继续奔走的碧池们，将带给这个世界更加光明的未来。
2 ) Martha Cestello's Who Am I
Accidentally read a review on Silk. It mentions that the justice procedure of the Law of England & Wales is a procedure based on the theory of truth agnosticism, which means it despises the pursuit of the truth. Thus neither of the prosecution and the defence can regard themselves as equalling to the justice itself. What they perform is just to protect their clients' interests. This is the ultimate justice the law can grant to the beings to protect themselves. That is, innocent until proven guilty.
However, this arouses a controversial debate on barristers' ethical duty. Theoretically, a barrister owes duty of not misleading the court. This duty comes first When they represent their clients to seek for a justice conviction. Therefore a barrister is not allowed to represent the client if he or she has the knowledge of the crime commitment made by the client. Otherwise it will amount to contempt of court. What the barrister can only do in such a situation is to cease the representation relationship to protect the justice of the court. Nonetheless, since the law practice industry is the derivative of current economic demand, most lawyers, usually intend to represent clients and maximise the clients' interests by shunning the truth deliberately. This is the formation of grey area.
Back to the series. Season Three explores what the lawyer and the justice system can do when confronting the truth and humanity. Martha Cestello is built to be a figure of justice. This justice more likely represents the sympathy to the weak side, rather than the pursuit of truth. Just like Martha says the justice (for her) aims to providing best defence for the client. She is always doing her job based on a barrister's intuition and her obsession of the truth. But such a basement could be voidable. The case of extradition proves the voidability of the powerless intuition on her not guilty assumption made to the kid who seems innocent when facing an incontrovertible evidence. Another case is about Martha's ex. When she finds out the name list, she is totally convinced that her ex is the murderer and neglects the most obvious evidence that the murderer is left-hand, but Shawn is not. Because her belief has been a little bit conflicted by the extradition case at that time. It is easily to see her emotional struggling here since she has assured the 'truth' that Shawn is the murderer. But she chooses to represent him continuously even this is an obey to both her belief and the enforced obligation posed on a barrister. At the end of season 3, Micky Joy crushes out the truth, but the court gives the direction of not adopting Joy's testimony since it does not comply with the juridical procedures. This is so ironic. When the trial is finished, Martha has completely lost and asked: who am I.
In the end, Martha's disappearance and Billy's cancer seem to be a metaphor that being symbolic for an era curtain that belief of justice is no longer exist in a contemporary law practice. Clive gets the chairman position only because he can ensure the case amount for Shoe Lane, which turns out that the value of justice has become the value of lawyer fee.

3 ) 经常审视的人生，真是让人难以提起兴趣
刚看完，不得不叹一句，最后10分钟的反转，果然是英剧。
什么答案也不给你，什么希望也不提，先让你彻头彻尾地相信，再让你反应过来那些看上去异常坚实的东西根基如此虚妄。
几千年还是一样，未经审视的人生是不值得过的。
可惜经常审视的人生，真是难以让人提起兴趣。
扬起兴冲冲的脸要一天天活得精彩，要每天都收获满满，某种对本质了然于心却能保持漠然的能力实在必不可少。
你要与我肆意跑马，自然少带几本哲学枷锁。偶尔想想。常念俗常。

4 ) Game is not over
声明：毫无法学基础，不对以下言论负任何责任。不过欢迎评论指出任何错误的地方。
silk这一季隔太久，我都忘了上一集在讲什么。这一季的中心很明显了——在最后十五分钟，托米奇之口——不管是警察还是律师都太迫于让自己所相信的观点被认可，真相反而被掩盖；整个法律体系在输与赢得争斗中失去其原本的意义，最好赶快逃出去。
尚有余温的legal high试图告诉我们，律师并不是侦探，律师的职责不是所谓追求真相，而是帮助委托人赢得胜利；而本剧则反思律师们是不是太在意输赢，反而忽视了最重要的”真相“？这样看来，也许是有趣的平衡。
让我们假设，宇宙中存在某种至高无上的神智（或者某种高度发达的文明所建立的律法条例，对于无神论的同学们），可以精准巧妙又恰如其分地为每一件事做出”正直“的判断。那么，有了这份”绝对正确的判定“，我们人类的任务就是无限接近它：
首先，承认人的智能是无法达到这个高度的，因此我们编造出”法则“，让规则来代替”人心“，提供更可靠、恒定、强壮的结论；
然后，条例无法自动执行（也许某种高等文明发明了”判例机“可以LOL），因此我们需要人来解释条例以匹配千千万万情况各异的事件；
再然后，对于不同人的解释我们需要有一个判定，鉴于没有任何个体能够确保完全的正确，那么我们交由一个群体来做出判断；
最后，对于整个”法则系统“的运行，要有一个人得以从近似管理员但实际不干预结果的偏向性（而不是不干预结果）来确保这套系统的正确运转。
于是我们有了（各种律政剧里看到的）法律体系。
那么就很清楚了：不管是追求输赢还是追求正义，律师们和警察们一起在努力，从两个方向出发、利用平衡巧妙地接近所谓”绝对真理“。那么不管是李狗嗨还是丝绸，所提倡的结果是一样的：让”人们“更了解这个系统是如何工作的，从而保证这一体系的正确运行。对于追求输赢的，努力跳脱出判定输赢的规则，尝试以真相而不是判决书判定正义是否得到伸张；对于追求正义的，也记着并不是自己——而是包含了自己的整个系统——的努力，才让真相得以获得最妥善的对待。
如果是这样，我还能说服自己为什么你国的法律体系选择了由法官而不是陪审团作出判决：那些口口声声喊着”人民“的人，他们其实清楚地知道，我们的”人民“还远不够资格为自己、为他人做出判定。（不服气吗？翻出你的租房合同，看看它包含了你实际遇到的情况的百分之多少？）
Our people is not prepared to be LAW MEN.（硬拗英语何苦嘞……）
当然我也仅仅是猜测。整个宇宙有着漫长的过去以及总有终结的未来，也许并不在意中间某个渺小星球上转瞬即逝的文明罢了。所谓“绝对正义”，也不过是因为相信“总有方法让人们更好地活下去“而成立的。
但你总要相信点什么，不是吗。

5 ) Billy是英国人的情怀所在
Billy让人想起老一辈在对待事业、工作和朋友的方式，有侠义也有暗箱操作，坚强不可摧的外在包裹着一颗铁胆忠心，虽然在时代的潮流下，逐渐被淘汰，换上Harriet这种事事均可与目标利益挂钩的高效运营。不能说谁的做法更好，但剧中明显偏向塑造Billy的高大形象，从而反映出英国人对旧时代和传统的怀念，希望有过去的情怀，可是又被迫面对冷漠的现在，那种复杂的感情是每一个人面对时代交替、甚或年龄渐长时都会有心态，诠释得非常好！
其实我也是Billy的脑残粉，呵呵，原因是忽然看到某些他的举动让我想起老爸，比如即使有很大的苦衷却不愿意与家人分享而独自承担；为你做一件事不论过程有多复杂困难，最终只给你一个圆满的结果；以及几十年来为数不多的一两次看到他的无助……这一切一切让我非常感同身受。
或许一个法律外行看这个剧只能感受到皮毛，但人性本来就是终极哲学，不论哪个行业都有对良心的拷问，只是法庭上、案件中所揭露的人性可能更加直接，因此一直也对多了解一点法律的相关很感兴趣。

Jordan成了英格兰足球史上一个出柜的运动员 虽然是在电视剧里 而且只是对自己的律师
Martha这一回第一次表现出比较感性的态度 询问client究竟怎么辩论 Clive和Martha末尾的drama 也印证了Martha对于client的态度
（27‘）实际上这一集讲work and family多一点 上一回Bill的医师讲到他会哭得多一点 这一回就哭了两次 You'll be there forever. 是大家对他的认可 也或许就是他自己对Shoe Lane的态度
Ps. Jack吃的是什么 （¯﹃¯）看起来就好好吃
EP01 Leave Me Alone
一部剧能够成功不仅需要情节的推进 主角的表现 台词的雕琢 很大程度上需要配角的支撑 比如这一集的CW 本来没什么表演（32‘）但是白色窗帷吹拂着 她put the exact date when she lost her chance for motherhood 作为QC 还需要怎么样的drama 怎样的表演呢？
和韩剧相比 英剧真是太简练了 不需要街拍一样的秀服装 每一帧都在推动情节 （48’）比如Ruby看着Shoe Lane 而Marsha从反方向走过来 被告知David losing himself的事实 而dad又恰巧走过来 不难猜测Rudy需要怎样的勇气来告诉他这个残酷的事实 哎……
副线Billy的情节也很灵动 真是内容丰富！
Ps （7‘）我真以为他们会在法庭上做爱呢

Don't ever do what I'm about to.
EP02 U don't Know Football
Jordan成了英格兰足球史上一个出柜的运动员 虽然是在电视剧里 而且只是对自己的律师
Martha这一回第一次表现出比较感性的态度 询问client究竟怎么辩论 Clive和Martha末尾的drama 也印证了Martha对于client的态度
（27‘）实际上这一集讲work and family多一点 上一回Bill的医师讲到他会哭得多一点 这一回就哭了两次 You'll be there forever. 是大家对他的认可 也或许就是他自己对Shoe Lane的态度
Ps. Jack吃的是什么 （¯﹃¯）看起来就好好吃
EP01 Leave Me Alone
一部剧能够成功不仅需要情节的推进 主角的表现 台词的雕琢 很大程度上需要配角的支撑 比如这一集的CW 本来没什么表演（32‘）但是白色窗帷吹拂着 她put the exact date when she lost her chance for motherhood 作为QC 还需要怎么样的drama 怎样的表演呢？
和韩剧相比 英剧真是太简练了 不需要街拍一样的秀服装 每一帧都在推动情节 （48’）比如Ruby看着Shoe Lane 而Marsha从反方向走过来 被告知David losing himself的事实 而dad又恰巧走过来 不难猜测Rudy需要怎样的勇气来告诉他这个残酷的事实 哎……
副线Billy的情节也很灵动 真是内容丰富！
Ps （7‘）我真以为他们会在法庭上做爱呢
看过了最后一集，个人觉得真正击倒martha的不是case的败诉也不是clive的两面三刀，而是看着自己一点点累积的希望瞬间垮塌时的心理崩溃，她并非不能接受clive移情别恋，却不能接受自己曾渴望和他天长地久，说到底，她还是孤独的
Walk away. Run for your life.
百感交集的结局，这个剧的剧情和人物一样，大方向正确细节上略坑，John小人了整三季，最后终于把持住了，编剧费尽心思给Clive洗白，是为了最后让他人渣到底，Micky说得对，为了争出胜负的有罪还是无辜很无聊，大爷我不陪你玩儿了！
Martha这样的女人是绝对不需要男人的，就像Clive睡了别的妹子以后martha也没什么反应，第一季流产一副流就流呗，只有案子输了才会心灰意冷。。。只有billy对Martha才是真爱吧。。。然后这剧就完结了真你妈好伤心啊。。。
女主角收场惨淡。但现实就是这样，随着岁月的流逝，按着后浪推前浪的规律，和你暧昧的精英模板男最后肯定会找比你更年轻更圆滑的姑娘，他还左右逢源会比你混得更轻松更好。事事以你为前提，为你着想的大树男将会因为一些不可抗拒的自然因素无法再做你的靠山。你把工作当信仰，投入所有精力，忘我到牺牲健康甚至生命，N次成功后会有一个大挫折跳出来告诉你这一切都是游戏，别认真到最后连自己是谁都忘了。
故事赢了人物。成就和令她迷失的都是执着，抱持对象的差池会是信仰的颠覆，没有坚持到最后就能赢的光环。三年来以为看的是励志剧，结果是揭人生老底，Micky三句话，the manner of going, what we left behind, where are we going afterward在她消失后变成如何执着，带来什么，除了执着我们还剩什么。
从此世上再无Martha Costello
不得了，不得了。律政神剧。剧本扎实，根本没有多余的肥皂情节，我是说，连一分钟都没有，不像TVB的律政剧，官司还没打完就一帮人去吃火锅喝啤酒。节奏快得让人不得不全神贯注，稍一走神都会漏掉信息，每一分钟都让人绷紧神经。法庭戏出色，台词也够味！猛推！
两个题外话：Clive变QC了之后，直接走暖男路线了...Martha短发之后好漂亮～～～
Martha Costello是我至今最喜欢的戏剧女主角
Martha是个理想主义者。如果是索金，大结局会是Martha在事务所竞选中作一个慷慨激昂的关于法律和正义的演讲，接着她讲完后潇洒的甩门出去，在她飘动的发丝和伦敦夜景下黑屏。不过因为她是隐忍的英国人笔下隐忍的人物，于是全局就这么隐忍的结了
最后一集真是神来之笔，神剧的节奏又上升一个档次，终于肯吐出这么多集来最大的疑问了！！！一方面给人一种终于圆满了的颠沛感，一方面又真想破口大骂：尼玛，下一季又要等到什么时候啊！
这样的结尾作为剧终真的处理得太好 不仅把所有线索都理清 而且将法律讲得太透彻 一句“Who am I?”道出所有律师的困惑 律师对正义和真相的坚持到头来还是会被现实击垮 法庭不过是场游戏
Martha and Billy 那些最好的人 却往往最孤独痛苦坚强独立，他们会去想who am I 也会消失在人群中去找寻自己的答案。
看完最后一集才发现编剧用心良苦
最后一集给主角Marsha还有所有热爱这剧的人心头狠狠一击，让所有从S01E01开始积累的对司法/正义/与良心的疑虑倾泻而出，作为最终集真是神结尾。但是从观众角度说...尼玛让我捂着心脏出去缓缓_(:qゝ∠)_ PS.RPJ你简直就是史上最帅克剧男演员
最后一集要不要这么狠啊！！看得我难过死了。。。第三集就被Billy叔虐哭，最后一集还要这样把Martha虐到心都死了！编剧这是闹哪样啊！！！前面几集还期待着Clive会变好，结局赤果果的把我们打醒，渣男这种属性是永远不会变好的，一辈子都是渣男！！太心疼Martha了，Run for your life... ⑧
3.5；水准下降，与前两季不搭，不仅改变辩论思路，连为人准则也开始发生偏离，曾经完美的Martha在编剧笔下终于露出了破绽；莫名甜蜜的感情线很多余，且让人讨厌；billy的罪名更莫名，为了制造冲突，拉低智商180的天才书记官不可忍；虽惋惜不知他们的结局，幸好也是及时收手了，否则必烂尾。
终于等到了第三季，短发的玛莎美得无法形容。
最后十分钟力挽前几集感情用事的狂澜，从所谓人性、正义的个人或成功或失败地对抗保守朽化体制的律政剧陈腐叙事模式中抽身，一脚堕入虚无一脚踏进圣殿，成就神作。
