That’s right: in this wacky Channel 4 show, contestants play the free pianos present in railway stations around the UK. The makers of Bake Off are back to add their signature feelgood style to… piano-playing. In short, it’s a must-watch for crime fans. The titular Twelve in question are the jurors, all of whom have lives - and secrets - that may well impact how the case plays out. He plays the defence lawyer of Kate (Kate Mulvany), who is on the stand for murdering her niece. Sam Neill heads ITV’s newest crime show, which arrives from Australia. In it, Jeremy Pope plays protagonist Ellis French, a young, black gay man who decides to join the Marines and find meaning in his life: yes, there’s prejudice, but there’s also camaraderie and support.


Many of the clues seem to fall into the cops' laps, making it hard not to solve the murders. Indeed, the film seems to say that all rich people are scum and it's fun to watch their downfall. Most of the men were stereotypical greedy, perverted sleaze-balls, like pimps who won the lottery. To put it mildly, it's hardly typical of Palm Beach society women. Most of the women wore form-fitting spandex, packed obvious silicone implants, and look like hookers masquerading as royalty. The portrayal of the wealthy suspects was never believable. Two young, glamorous cops investigate and solve murders committed by snooty Palm Beach socialites, and do so without messing up their hairstyles or expensive wardrobes. In a nutshell, it's a knockoff of "Miami Vice" set in Palm Beach, only with less substance and credibility.
