"judge john deed" presents a fictionalised version of the english legal system. the british film institute's screenonline notes that "almost every week, deed is seen presiding over cases being prosecuted by his ex-wife or defended by his on-off girlfriend (with occasionally help from his daughter)", highlighting how unlikely it would be for a real judge to have so many conflicts of interest in his court. it also notes that deed's faults, such as his affairs with his therapist and with francesca rochester, prevent him from being "a completely idealised heroic figure", and the fact that because all of his family and friends practise law, he is firmly entrenched in the legal system that he is constantly fighting against. deed has been accused of hypocrisy, particularly for using his connections to bail charlie after she destroyed gm crops in "exacting justice". there is a belief in some legal circles that, although "judge john deed" is arguably the most unrealistic of contemporary legal dramas, viewers see deed as an aspirational character taking on a corrupt establishment. despite being picked apart by legal professionals, the cast and newman were invited to the annual dinner of the association of women barristers in 2006 as part of a drive to raise the profile and attract new members to the group.

other recurring characters include deed's rebellious, animal rights activist daughter charlie (played by louisa clein), who is initially a law student but later progresses to the courts; deed's police friend, deputy assistant commissioner row colemore (played by christopher cazenove); and his clerk, rita "coop" cooper (played by barbara thorn), who is often on hand to temper some of his more radical ideas. rita "coop" was involved in many scenes of the show and was shown frequently in "judge john deed" advertisements. the first three series of the programme have a self-contained structure, with a trial reaching its conclusion by the end of an episode. in later years, the series added a serialised format, with stories running over a number of episodes and a greater focus on the personal lives of characters other than deed, with the main case concluding in each episode.
