About

You can watch The Guardian (2001) on Apple TV+, subject to provider eligibility.

Nick Fallin is a hotshot lawyer working at his father's ultrasuccessful Pittsburgh law firm. Unfortunately, the high life has gotten the best of Nick. Arrested for drug use, he's sentenced to do 1,500 hours of community service, somehow to be squeezed into his 24/7 cutthroat world of mergers, acquisitions and board meetings. Reluctantly, he's now The Guardian - a part-time child advocate at Legal Aid Services, where one case after another is an eye-opening instance of kids caught up in difficult circumstances.

Heavy with the scent of expensive scotch and moral decay, this drama captures the suffocating friction between corporate privilege and sudden accountability. A disgraced lawyer must navigate the jagged edges of his father's legal empire while performing grueling community service.
