Judge Rinder

I found this program whilst channel surfing one night. Apparently it is the UK version of Judge Judy.

Now I am not the worlds biggest fan of Judge Judy, but at least that program is at times quite funny and is watchable.

Judge Rinder has to be one of the most obnoxious people I have seen on Reality TV. He is arrogant, unfunny and patronising.

I watched 3 minutes before I switched channels as I couldn't believe the tripe.

These Court reality shows rely on the viewer getting a connection with the judge. This works for peoples Court and Judge Judy, but Judge Rinder is such an unlikeable person that there is no connection.

Don't waste your time.

I love Judge Judy, so this looked like it would be a good show. It isn't, every single case, Judge Rinder try's to get the litigants to become emotional blubbering wrecks. I noticed the Z - list 'celebs' are Sue happy too, many ex big brother contestants have taken part. I would not recommend this show to anyone.

This is a truly horrendous programme that has no redeeming feature! The only way I would watch it again is if I was so bored I had absolutely nothing else to watch and absolutely nothing else to do and even then the thought of watching grass grow and paint dry seems a lot more appealing! It is done in exactly the same way as Judge Judy which is completely wrong for the courts in England and that is just as horrendous!

If I could give it less than one star, I would!

TO THE PEOPLE WHO CHECK THE REVIEWS BEFORE ACCEPTING OR REJECTING THEM FOR THE WEBSITE I HAVE A QUESTION TO ASK:

Why do I have to type a minimum of ten lines when I have seen others leave recent reviews that are less than ten? It is often a struggle to come up with that many lines, such as in this case , the review above on Judge Rinder!

This show is another truly disgraceful attempt of entertainment from ITV. Random people arguing about tiny disputes; which could be easily dealt with inside a small claims court, all while in front of a barrister who is almost gagging for a chance to be in the public eye. To describe this "show" for those who haven't seen this, I would advise them to think of a combination of Judge Judy, The Jeremy Kyle Show (filmed in the same studio), and the mess that a poodle leaves on the front of your driveway.

The people who come onto this show are giving legal authority over there claims to a barrister, pretending to be a judge, who spends the episode telling people "Did "x event" happen? I don't believe you, i will ask again. Did "x event" happen? I still don't believe you. Or that "he can spot lies just as well as smelling 'farts' in a lift". Charming...

Not a must see but more than OK. Demonstrates well, the need for written contracts.
