61st Street
Created by Peter Moffat
A grim procedural about systemic injustice in the Chicago courts, built on the relationship between a wrongly accused teenager and an aging public defender fighting institutional racism.
Moses Johnson is a promising high-school athlete with a bright future who’s accused of murdering a police officer during a drug bust gone wrong. Swept up into the infamously corrupt Chicago criminal justice system, Moses’ case is taken up by ageing public defender Franklin Roberts, who sees this as his chance to finally challenge the institutional racism at the heart of the judicial system.
