• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

I like courtroom dramas (Probably the shows I watched as a kid, like Perry Mason, and then the film 12 Angry Men, started me off). Marshall was IMO like To Kill a Mockingbird meets Selma.
It also has the late, great Chadwick Boseman in it. So I was bound to like it.
