Jiro's Story

Accused is a legal crime anthology series based on the British show of the same name. Unlike a traditional series with a continuous cast, each episode is a standalone "mini-movie" that begins in a courtroom with a defendant. The plot then uses flashbacks to reveal how they ended up on trial. The central theme of Season 1 is the "ordinary person in an extraordinary situation," exploring how desperation, love, and fear can lead people to commit crimes—or be wrongly accused of them.

Season 2 of Accused (US), which aired in late 2024, continues the anthology format of the first season. Each episode remains a standalone "mini-movie" that starts with a defendant in a courtroom and uses flashbacks to explain the events leading up to their trial. The second season consists of 8 episodes and features an even more star-studded cast than the first.
