As the hit Irish legal drama returns, solicitor Tara Rafferty is embattled but not beaten. She has built a new life for herself after leaving her cheating fiancé, Eric (Rory Keenan,War & Peace), and the high-powered law firm where they both worked. But with one of her employees betraying her and another in jail, she struggles to keep her fledgling practice afloat. Convinced that her former boss-Eric's scheming father-is behind it all, Tara decides to strike back.

To pay the bills, Tara takes on clients whose legal problems range from deportation, to DIVORCE from a bigamist, to a lawsuit against a convent. As she frequently faces off against Eric and her former colleagues in court, Tara's mentor, Vincent (Neil Morrissey), leads a high-level corruption inquiry that could endanger them both.

Parade raves that "Huberman has helped create a knockout character," and the stellar cast also features Moe Dunford (Vikings), Fiona O'Shaughnessy (Utopia), and Maria Doyle KENNEDY as a formidable solicitor.

It's been almost a year since the sudden death of philandering chef Leo Vincent (Iain Glen), but his presence at the Penrose Hotel is more palpable than ever. His ex-wife, Gina (Dawn French), and widow, Sam (Emilia Fox), have turned the failing hotel he left behind into a profitable enterprise. Gina does the cooking while Sam manages the business, but they continue to have professional and personal disagreements. With an ongoing police investigation into the hotel, an unexpected guest, and a handsome new hire, Gina and Sam's partnership may be a recipe for disaster. And while Leo ruminates on life from BEYOND the grave, his SECRETS come back to haunt his family.

Set against a backdrop of stunning Cornwall landscapes, Delicious offers "a feast for the eyes" (The Sun). This "darkly offbeat" (Express) drama also features Aaron Anthony (Doctors) and Sheila Hancock (The Boy in the Striped Pajamas).
