Tamar Ariel, 38, is the International Criminal Court's most celebrated prosecutor — a woman who has secured convictions against eighteen defendants across fifteen years of work at The Hague. She is brilliant, patient, relentless, and has a specific gift for making the most defended men in the world understand, over the course of a trial, that she already knows everything. Three seasons track three different cases: Season 1 follows a major war crimes prosecution against a Balkan official whose defense team is the best in Europe and who has been waiting for precisely the prosecutor he believes he can finally beat. Season 2 escalates into a case against a Middle Eastern warlord whose connections to multiple governments make the prosecution politically explosive. Season 3 is the series' most personal — a case that surfaces evidence connecting a crime she prosecuted to a figure from her own father's past, and the specific horror of understanding that the pursuit of justice has led her back to herself.
