Executively produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, The Whole truth is a legal drama that brings a whole new perspective to the genre. Oscillating between the viewpoints of the defendant and the prosecutor of a case, it is a wholly engaging series that attempts to attain the truth through dialectical analyses.
Set in New York City, the series brings out the chemistry between the two lead protagonists, both attorneys, who often find themselves pitted against each other, in the courtroom. On one hand is Kathryn Peale (Maura Tierney), who leads the prosecution, and on the other is defense attorney Jimmy Brogan (Rob Morrow).
The series presented both the sides of the story in a simultaneous manner, and the viewers do not know the real facts of the case. Both the sides present their case in the court room, and all the drama and excitement erupts from the fact that truth emerges only in the end of the show as the case is finally resolved.
The series derives its charm from the superbly crafted relationship between the two lead attorneys who have something akin to a friendly competition going on between them. While Kathryn is completely committed to the cause of justice and goes about her job with a wholehearted earnestness, Jimmy is more cunning in his approach, never faltering to test his limits when it comes to defending his client.
Bureau Chief Terrence Edgecomb (Eamonn Walker) and Additional District Attorneys like Chad Griffin (Sean Wing) assist Kathryn on her cases. On the other hand, Brogan is assisted by an equally capable team comprising of Lena Boudreaux (Christine Adams) and Alejo Salazer (Anthonu Ruivivar).
The Whole Truth derives strength from some clever writing and witty dialogues that hooks the viewers with its interesting plotlines and developments. With the suspense filled stories that never lets out the secret, it is a crime drama that excites like none else.
