Janet King is an Australian TV legal drama that airs on the Australian television channel, ABC1. In 2017, the 3rd season began on May 25th. The show follows a dynamic senior crown prosecutor named Janet King through some very shocking court cases. The show is critically acclaimed and what you would expect from a legal drama. While there is no option to watch the show live if you are in the US, there are other ways we will speak about in a moment.
This show was launched in 2014 as a spin-off of another legal drama called Crownies. While many liked the show, the show runners decided that there were better ways to explore the characters. As you may know, sometimes spin-offs can be hit and miss. That is not the case with this show. Each season has had 8 episodes, and they clearly learned from their mistakes.
