Parents' Guide to The Code

THE CODE is a dramatic military procedural that follows a group of Marines serving in the Judge Advocate General Headquarters in Quantico. Captain John "Abe" Abraham (Luke Mitchell) is a judge advocate (an active duty Marine who is eligible to serve as a prosecutor, a defense attorney, or in a combat post) who's committed to seeking military justice by court-martial. Under the leadership of Colonel Glenn Turnbull (Dana Delany)​, Abraham, who is often partnered with his superior officer and friend Major Trey Ferry (Ato Essandoh), cleverly investigates and tries cases that fall under the jurisdiction of the military court. He's also helped by Lieutenant Harper Li (Phillipa Soo) and Warrant Officer Rami Ahmadi (Raffi Barsoumian), who offer assistance from the office. Meanwhile, he often finds himself on the opposite side of the courtroom from fellow judge advocate Captain Maya Dobbins (Anna Wood), who has no problem challenging him despite their friendship. They all work hard to adhere to the uniform code of military justice, but also face the pressure that comes from being first, and foremost, Marines.
