Philadelphia DA
10 p.m., BBC Four

We opened in autumn 2017, when civil rights activist Krasner submitted his application, much to the amazement of the public prosecutor’s office – an institution against which he had sued a large part of his career. And it doesn’t take long for him to cause controversy by announcing a proposed new cash deposit policy.
