Striking Out – Series Two [DVD]

As the hit Irish legal drama returns, solicitor Tara Rafferty (Amy Huberman, The Clinic) is embattled but not beaten. She has built a new life for herself after leaving her cheating fianc, Eric (Rory Keenan, War & Peace), and the high-powered law firm where they both worked. But with one of her employees betraying her and another in jail, she struggles to keep her fledgling practice afloat. Convinced that her former boss Eric s scheming father is behind it all, Tara decides to strike back. To pay the bills, Tara takes on clients whose legal problems range from deportation, to divorce from a bigamist, to a lawsuit against a convent. As she frequently faces off against Eric and her former colleagues in court, Tara s mentor Vincent (Neil Morrissey, Line of Duty) leads a high-level corruption inquiry that could endanger them both. The stellar cast also features Emmet Byrne (Burning Wishes), Fiona O’Shaughnessy (Utopia), and Maria Doyle Kennedy (The Commitments) as a formidable solicitor.
