The High Court (2017)

EndedReality showComedy

Real People. Real Cases. Really High Judge. Odor in the court! By combining Doug Benson's affable stoner approach to life with the television staple that is courtroom reality shows, The High Court is a toke of "Judge Judy" mixed with two healthy bong loads of Doug's own successful comedy talk show, JASH's "Getting Doug with High." What you are about to witness is real. The participants are not actors. They are the actual people who have already either filed suit or been served a summons to appear in a U.S. municipal court. Both parties in the suit have agreed to dismiss their court cases and have their disputes settled here, by... a stand-up comedian... who may or may not be under the influence of marijuana. All rise for Your Highness... This is The High Court with Judge Doug Benson.

Under Salt Marsh

Under Salt Marsh is set in the fictional Welsh town of Morfa Halen, a tight-knit community precariously nestled between towering mountains and a fast-encroaching sea that threatens its very existence. As a once-in-a-generation storm begins to gather far out at sea, former detective turned teacher Jackie Ellis discovers the body of her 8-year-old pupil, Cefin, seemingly drowned. The discovery sends shockwaves through the community, reviving the ghost of an unsolved cold case that rocked the town three years prior – the disappearance of Jackie's niece, Nessa, which cost her career.

Cefin's death summons Jackie's former partner, Detective Eric Bull, back to Morfa Halen to lead the investigation into a community he failed once before. Convinced the cases are linked, Jackie and Bull must reconcile and race to uncover long-buried secrets inside Morfa, before the storm breaks and all the evidence is gone for good.
