Cleaver Greene is many things to many people: an outrage, alegend, a mate, a wag, a champion of lost causes, and (to his former cocaine dealer) a tragic loss. His specialty: defending the indefensible, from bigamists to cannibals. Richard Roxburgh (Moulin Rouge, Van Helsing) stars as the brilliant but self-destructive Sydney barrister in this fresh, irreverent, darkly comic Australian series. "Scathing legal drama…teeming with sex, violence, and smart dialogue"—Guardian(UK). 8 episodes, 7 3 ?4hrs, 3 DVDs, SDH. Mature audiences.
