Your Honor

So, I was dubious about this series after reading the negative reviews and after the first two instalments, I thought there was some truth...however, this series is not about a brilliant story, it's about the morals you think you have and after some bad luck, the morals you really have. I thought it was excellent, forget the cheesy coincidences and think about the choices one makes. As for some reviews citing an annoying kid...really? Clearly not parents! Karl Grimes he is not!

Your Honor is a legal drama television series that premiered on Showtime in December 2020. The show is based on the Israeli series Kvodo and is set in New Orleans, Louisiana. The main character is Judge Michael Desiato, played by Bryan Cranston, who is a respected judge in the city. The story begins when Michael's son Adam, played by Hunter Doohan, is involved in a hit-and-run accident that kills a member of a notorious organized crime family.

To protect his son, Michael makes a series of questionable decisions that put him in the middle of a dangerous and complex web of lies, corruption and crime. The judge must balance his duty to uphold the law and his duty as a father, while also navigating the city's complex legal system and dealing with the various factions vying for power in New Orleans. The show also stars Carmen Ejogo, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Michael Stahl-David, and Lilli Kay.

Your Honor explores themes of morality, justice, and the consequences of one's actions. The show is praised for its well-written script, and the performances of the lead actors, particularly Bryan Cranston, who received critical acclaim for his portrayal of Michael Desiato. The show is also praised for its accurate depiction of New Orleans and its culture, which adds an extra layer of realism to the story.

Overall, Your Honor is a thrilling and intense legal drama that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats as they watch Michael navigate the dangerous waters of crime and corruption in the city. The show is recommended for fans of legal dramas, crime thrillers, and fans of Bryan Cranston's work.

Good story, if not a little far fetched, great acting by Bryan Cranston, I loved the New Orleans setting. The pacing was good too, never seemed to drag too much. Some of the story I didn't agree with, I thought the police corruption was too blatant and not believable, the crime family wasn't very convincing and the kid when he danced was weird lol. Overall a decent show though.

A sign of a good show is when you want to keep playing the next episode and you sneak bits in on the phone whoever the opportunity arises. All the people complaining about son don't get it. Is he an annoying dweeb? Absolutely. But that's the intention - it requires Cranston in his role to have to take on all the thinking and all the doing, to keep them both safe. If the son was a well put together, articulate, athletic, affable character, it wouldn't have near the same impact. It adds to the desperation and frustration of Cranston trying with all his will to stay one step ahead of the bad guys.

A classic story of how the privileged and powerful will go to great lengths to protect their own, even if they did something as horrible as what this stupid kid did.
