• 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.

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.
