Justice Served

The script is well written. Action is pretty good. Good plot twist at some point. I really liked the acting. Very believable. This series is extremely suited to finish watching in one evening ;-)

Definitely binge worthy. I could not leave my seat. Well written, intelligent, thoughtful actors and actresses. I was intrigued by the storyline. This show is important and absolutely has a story that needs to be told. Pain, revenge, justice, and finally redemption. The series has it all. I will definitely rate highly and recommend to all my friends.

Hilarious how the top-rated comment here is from somebody who claims he only watched this series for 15 minutes.

The show is okay, pretty lackluster overall but I enjoyed it.

I sat all through all six episodes of Justice Served since I'm a proponent of local content (though preferably not government enforced).

Is it as bad as the 3.9/10 stars on imdb? Unfortunately yes.

I watched this soon after Silverton Siege, which made the series worse since there seems to have been a plot heist -- exactly the same ideas of a hostage drama with a "good cop" getting over-ridden by a politically appointed boss gets regurgitated here.

Whereas Silverton Siege played a little bit with Pretoria geography, Jusice Served is utterly confusing to a South African audience since it uses the very familiar Cape Town parliament as a setting, and one has to figure out the building is supposed to be a high court in Hillbrow.

The screen writers had some interesting ideas on contemporary South Africa and the general malaise of government corruption etc. The fictional freedom fighters use some of Julius's actual quotes, such as calling a journalist a "bloody agent".

But ultimately, this seems to be the product of a committee where whatever individual good ideas were originally thought up got completely garbled along the way.

First: normally I don't write critics, because I am not an native speaker and scared, that I don't find the right words, nevertheless the 3,3 stars are so wrong, that I needed to write sth.

While it has similarities to "La casa del papel", it is a more intense, better told story. Sure it is not perfect and has some flaws, but the characters are created and played in a more credible way.

All the bad ratings are coming from frustrated persons, that don't getand aren't able to handle the fact, that societies are changing creations.
