Another fine episode from Kavanagh QC. Complete with good writing, direction, great acting and music, Job Satisfaction is actually one of my favourite episodes from Kavanagh QC and that was something I was not expecting. The camera work is excellent, and the writing is of very good quality as is the direction. The music is once again hauntingly beautiful, and the acting is top drawer with John Thaw outstanding as Kavanagh with sterling support from Art Malik, Paul Rhys and Robert Cavanaugh. The ending with Sam pushing the pills down his sister's throat was quite harrowing, even if she did tell the truth what brother would try to kill his own sister, and the later scenes between Kavanagh and his father after his mother dies of a heart attack are quite poignant. Overall though, this is one of my favourite episodes. 10/10 Bethany Cox

The stories in this series are consistently about more than the case before the bench. Job Satisfaction is the best of this series. John Thaw, better known for being Inspector Morris is more likable and personable as John Kavenaugh. Defending a brother and sister accused of the murder of their father and his wife. The case is a mess as the brother tries to do his own defense. Accused by an antagonistic half brother Kavenaugh has a tough job focusing the case where the jury need to bring an acquittal. In all this family tragedy erupts in Kavenaugh life. The ending is climactic but we will not spoil it as other commenters have already done with no warnings of spoilers.
