殊途同归

"Different Roads to the Same Goal/The Defendant" is a crime series produced by the BBC with six episodes in total. Unlike most TV shows that tell the stories of characters from different realms of Britain, this series consists of six separate stories with no plot connection to each other. These stories revolve around ordinary people at the grassroots level of society, including soldiers, plumbers, primary school teachers, taxi drivers, crematorium workers and paramedics. These people are not bad by nature, but have to do things against the law for some reason. In the end, they all need to stand in the dock of the court and accept the judge's decision: guilty or not guilty. The audience also needs to think about the fairness of the judgment and the legitimacy of the severity of the judgment

In life, many people will face various difficulties, which may be caused by themselves or the influence of the environment. In these situations, some people will lose control of their emotions, engage in extreme behaviors, and eventually have to pay the price for what they have done. Life is ruthless, and so is the law. In this series of stories, the fate of the little people cannot be controlled by themselves. When they stand in the dock, review and state what they have done, they express various emotions such as remorse, guilt, innocence, fearlessness, numbness, worry and anxiety. This is the ultimate duel between humanity and justice. The original meaning of the English title is "defendant", facing the theme directly; the translation into "same goal by different routes" is more subtle, and it will be clear once you read the complete episode. Another commonality of the stories in the series is that each episode is based on the reality of the defendant walking from the detention center to the court.
