The Trial

Never seen a twist and turn like this (in American movies) in quite sometimes.

Yes, I loved it and I cannot wait for season 2! Lately, I have not watched many movies or TV series but this one captivated me from minute 1. It's so interesting to see how the characters evolve, how the story of the murder comes together and by chapter 8 I was blown away. I was freaking out over that ending and I sure hope there's a season 2 to answer all these questions I have (which will not be shown here since I want to keep this spoiler-less).

I started watching The Trial (Il Processo) out of curiosity because I was born in Mantova, the city where the story takes place. 30 minutes into the first episode I actually started buying into the story and I binge-watched the remaining episodes in just two days. The plot is well written. There seem to be a few pitfalls here and there, a couple of episodes in the second half could have been avoided altogether, but I never lost interest in the story. I must give particular credit to either the montage or the director for a specific reason: there are moment in a few episodes where the camera lingers on some details that "give away" a clue to what is about to come. While some people may think that they worked out everything and they "saw it coming", I believe that the technique is used intentionally to give the viewer the feeling to be actively taking part in solving the case.

A very good watch. I don't know if there will be a second season, I doubt so, but if they'll make it I'll be happy to watch it.

A change from the usual US courtroom dramas. Interesting to see the Italian justice system in play. Not a binge watch type but must admit that watched the last 3 episodes and did not feel the time as the ending is very good and the whole story is tied up quite neatly.

Good and very enjoyable watch.

Ignore the bad reviews. I'm fairly certain those are from viewers who watched the dubbed version. Wonderful storytelling.
