Commencing in the late '90s, the British government prosecuted literally hundreds of postmasters across the country, accusing them of theft and fraud over uncovered shortfalls. By the late oughts, postmaster Alan Bates (Toby Jones) spearheaded a counterattack in the courts, placing the blame on glitchy accounting software-and bringing one of the country's great modern-era social scandals to light. Compelling miniseries co-stars Monica Dolan, Julie Hesmondhalgh, Alex Jennings, Ian Hart. 3 1/2 hrs. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
