Kill All the Lawyers profiles “the life and career of one of Canada’s most prolific writers.” Deverell, whose most recent book, April Fool, won the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Novel in 2006, created Street Legal, one of the most popular Canadian crime dramas of all time.
The show ran from 1986 until 1994 and still lives on the Canadian airwaves in syndication. The Museum of Broadcast Communication writes: “When Street Legal completed its eighth and final season, one TV journalist called it ‘unblushingly sentimental, unblinkingly campy, unabashedly Canadian and completely addictive.’” Adding that, “The show wrapped up with a two-hour movie in the spring of 1994 which drew a whopping 1.6 million viewers.” Which is about a bazillion in Canadian numbers.
Kill All the Lawyers will air on Bravo Television on September 14 at 9 p.m. Eastern and 6 p.m. Pacific time.
