After the Verdict

Not too many crime shows manage to successfully combine a gripping plot with humour - but 'After the Verdict' definitely delivers both. I'm totally addicted and can't wait to crack this one!

I don't always need to have to think hard around a plot sometimes I just want to sit back and be entertained and this fitted the bill perfectly.

It was funny and sufficiently tense where required, to make the reasonably different take on a Whodunnit flow along very nicely.

The plot twisted around smartly, moving forward at sensible pace and the characters worked off each other well with their differing backstories all playing into the story.

I would agree with some other comments that Clara could at times felt overplayed. I rather enjoyed it and would be perfectly happy to watch another series.

After The Verdict is a quirky and fun Australian mystery. The investigation begins after the verdict is read. Like the British, the actor's portray their roles with amazing debt and to perfection. They are very believable. I love the protagonist played by Michelle Lim Davidson and all of the actors playing the jurors. Lincoln Younes has great one liner's. Each juror is unique. The characters are all so much fun and knee deep in the mystery of the death of a woman. From the victim's husband to the jurors, the police and the woman who was acquitted of the murder, the personalities are so much fun. I have totally enjoyed it. This is a light mystery that you watch when you want cozy and fun. I would love for it to continue with the same character's. They would be great detectives after a verdict is announced. Don't listen to anyone who gives it a bad rating. Watch past the first episode and judge for yourself. Lots to see each episode.

I had really high hopes for this show, and was excited to watch when it finally came out. The premise is great, and most of the cast is fantastic, but the lead actress who plays Clara is just plain annoying. Her acting is way over the top, and her comedic timing is off. For instance, watch the scene where she bludgeons a car with a cello, and you'll know what I mean. The scene is just not funny, but it should have been, and would have been with a better actor. Going to persevere to find out whodunnit, and because im enjoying watching the rest of this great Aussie cast/ensemble, but it's not gripping me.

After the Verdict's first miniseries is so great. Binged it in a couple of nights, and it's well paced, has great characterisation, and a real mystery that threads through well. I'm in my mid 30s and found lots of elements of the show (relationships, children, older parents, etc) both relatable and moving. Lots of fun for its Sydney humour, settings and observations, including just how painful the real estate market is. Clara is a great lead character who is relatable and the casting across the series is spot on. I'd love another series (don't know if that's possible though...) and more like this in Australian TV!
