Les Honorables

Addictive provided you can accept that the characters have spent their lives studying the law yet forget everything they learned as soon as it applies to them. I guess that's part of it, but since of it is just lazy writing,, yet it was still fun to watch.

We really enjoyed this show. It has an original plot and surprising twists. Definitely worth watching.

If there was ever a program that needed a continuity coordinator, this is the one. Also, the script is a bit over the top. Judges would not hold such biases knowing the scant evidence.

Interesting storyline, very good acting and character development. Holds your interest and characters you care about, wondering how it all and they will end up.

A rather interesting series that enters deeply into the subject from the first episodes.

I couldn't say if I adored or just liked the series, but it was frankly interesting to follow. The script is well written and I found that the cast played competently for most scenes. I also found the cast really diversified and well chosen.

Although the storyline and the idea of revenge is greatly interesting, I thought that some episodes dive too deeply into this subject, to the point that some characters make rash and absurd decisions, especially knowing that they've been judges since several years and that they know the legal system. A simple example to demonstrate what I just said is that they repeatedly hide to the police some evidence that could arrest the main criminals, because they want to do the operation their own way. I would also add that a few scenes were predictable, but not as much as some people have said.

In the end, Les Honorables is an intense and addictive series that was brilliantly written. We fully feel what the Dessureaux are going through and we can only have empathy for them. I would totally recommend it if you're willing to give it a bit of time to truly develop itself, wether it's for the characters or the story.
