Justice Served

YEGAAAM✊🏼😭 Mind BLOWN!!!! WEL-motherfu**-DONE!!!!!

I'm not gonna spoil it for you but GO AND WATCH IT RIGHT NOW!!!

Lol and we all know who are behind the negative reviews 😂

Way to go, Netflix. Congratulations.

South Africa have massive racial tension, as does the US and West.

But what do people's lives matter when you can capitalise on that suffering?

And talk about putting ideas into people's heads when the powers that be have let so many of us down, let's make people believe they can take that power back! Bravo 👏

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.

A compact mini-series that I couldn't stop watching, with charismatic characters on both sides of the debate, interesting twists and reveals, and a complex question it tries to answer. The show does a good job setting up both sides, while showing the cracks in their ideologies.

The South Africa setting was unique too, showing off the peoples fight for fairness and justice happens on a global scale, rather than the same places over and over in the U. S.

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.
