DRAMA: Shark, 10pm, Five
HOLLYWOOD heavyweight James Woods returns as slick LA prosecutor Sebastian ‘Shark’ Stark (left, with Kevin Pollak playing new district attorney Leo Cutler) in an explosive second series of the US legal drama.
Tonight’s entertaining episode sees Shark in court hoping to incarcerate Derek Markham, the prime suspect in the murder of Hollywood movie executive Glen Neiman and his wife, who were shot in cold blood.
However, the case is put into disarray when Shark’s key trial witness to the double homicide is blown up in a bus bomb outside court.
Determined to find out who was responsible, he calls on former district attorney, Jessica Devlin (Jeri Ryan), to be a consultant on the case and the ‘dynamic duo’ soon discover that a Russian gangster, who has long evaded the police, could have links to all three murders.
