Recently discovered this program through social media and began watching episodes on YouTube. I have been a fan of courtroom shows for years.
Caught in Providence is something different and has something extra.. Judge Chapiro is wonderful, charismatic, compassionate, and fair. Most people still have to pay something.
The people on this show that appear before the judge represent their community so beautifully. Everyone is actually remorseful, apologetic, and willing to take it on the chin. It's so wonderful and refreshing to see.
These things make Caught in Providence a wonderful show but these something still...
It's the direction and production. The audience are also the stars of this show. Throughout the cases we see cut aways to audience members. This has been done before, but these us something different here. The tone is perfect and adds such amazing levity to the whole show. There's little slices of other stories going on, slices of lives, and sometimes the most honest therefore hilarious reactions.
The camera shots in this show are amazing. We see all sorts of degrees of close ups and wide shots. This adds so much value to the storytelling of the show and keeping it alive and engaging. Sometimes it's not even that noticeable, but it makes all the difference.
This truly us a courtroom show for everyone. It's gentle nature, generous spirit, and feel good vibe bucks the trend of the usual model. Highly recommend.
