Not every great procedural makes it onto the major platforms, and Arrest and Trial is a reminder of why it is always worth looking beyond the obvious. Every episode is out there — TV Butler finds it for you instantly without the guesswork. An 8/10 rating from a real audience is the kind of signal that does not lie — this was worth people's time when it aired, and it is worth yours now. The challenge with shows that are not on the biggest platforms is simply knowing where to look, and that is exactly what TV Butler is built for. Search by title, find out which service has it in your country, and go from there. No app-switching, no guessing — just a direct path to watching.

Arrest and Trial is a 90-minute American crime/legal drama series that ran during the 1963-1964 season on ABC, airing Sundays from 8:30-10 p.m. Eastern. Brian Dennehy leads a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 1963–2000. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry episodes where the mystery takes a breath — Arrest and Trial passes that test consistently. The consistency across the run is what elevates it — not every episode is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Perfect for viewers who think they have already seen all the great crime dramas. Arrest and Trial is the one that tends to prove them wrong. The writing earns its twists rather than manufacturing them, and the result is a show where the resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary. Fans of The Tower will recognise the tonal balance between tension and character work. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. If you are going to commit to one procedural this month, make it this one.
