I viewed the entire first episode with anticipation, being a fan of courtroom dramas. I was curious about the premise. However, the humor fell flat from the first annoying use of the gavel.

The show aims to have humour, featuring ludicrous cases in a courtroom setting reminiscent of Judge Judy. I understand that the presiding figure is not a real judge, but the participants are obliged to treat him as one. Yet, his arrogance lacks humor.

This show is the kind of mind-numbing content one might encounter in a doctor's waiting room when there's nothing else to engage the intellect.

In summary, this show is mundane and unoriginal. It fails to capture my interest or approval. It's a 'no' from me.

"Martingale" is a journey that unfortunately overstays its welcome. Even at a 1 hour and 45 minutes, it tests the patience of the viewer. The plot meanders like a lost hiker in a dense forest, leaving viewers yearning for a more streamlined narrative.

The film's greatest flaw lies in its lighting. Or rather, the lack thereof. Scenes unfold in murky shadows. Characters converse in dimly lit rooms despite evidence showing that they are really well lit. And outdoor scenes look as though there is a smoke or haze in the air. Perhaps the director aimed for an atmospheric noir vibe, but it feels more like stumbling through a power outage.

For me the lighting destroyed the whole film, and I longed for it to end. Perhaps I could have got away with watching the first ten minutes and the last.

The acting was like the lighting, it was dead serious throughout, there was little to lighten the atmosphere to give relief from the heavy tension. Alas, their talents are often lost in the murky abyss of poor illumination.

Some viewers may find its labyrinthine plot and dimly lit aesthetics intriguing, while others will yearn for a brighter cinematic experience. Proceed with caution and bring a flashlight.

I wasn't sure whether of not to watch this with the number of low scores and bad reviews. I'm glad that I ignored them.

This is an easy to watch fun movie. No complicated plot that's not always predictable.

Exquisite film locations. The producers put in a great deal of thought into the making of this film. Yes there was some unbelievable situations, that's the nature of an action packed fictional story line.

It held my interest throughout and left me wanting more. It tied up loose ends which I thought maybe padding.

I felt there was a strong performance from most of the actors, you got to like each of them for their individual traits.

It is a film that left me wanting more. I really hope that there will be a sequel.
