VARIETY: PHILLY D.A. IS ONE OF THE TOP 10 BEST TV SHOWS OF 2021

By December 3, 2021October 17th, 2023

Philadelphia’s elected district attorney Larry Krasner represents a transformative force running through the American legal system: He is a career defense attorney who seeks to reform a punitive system. This clear-eyed documentary series explores the promise of and the challenges to his approach, with a city built of various opposed constituencies alternately embracing or rejecting Krasner’s attempts to re-envision justice. “Philly D.A.,” initially broadcast on PBS’s “Independent Lens” and now available via the streaming service Topic, doesn’t back down from complication: Krasner’s opponents make their cases on camera, and his idealism comes into focus, at times, as intransigence.
