Movie #2115 "Your Honor" -- ugh! this was long, and the story had a lot of branches that seemed dragged out after a while..... In fact, in the middle episodes I felt oftentimes that I was wasting my time. When it gets to the courtroom in episodes 7-10, it gets better because then you can see how much a judge can manipulate a jury; And there's a point in episode 10 where it was riveting due to so much going on in one scene pulling at the judge/or son. But the ending? ugh! If someone had told me how this ended, I probably wouldn't have finished it. I don't want to say much more than that about the ending except that I understand why it ended that way because it supported the many themes -- one big one is that one mistake can bring about such consequences --- but it is tough to watch. I was upset by it, and I thought viewers would like to be prepared for it. There's not a lot of mystery in this story because you know from the trailer who does the crime, but it is like Columbo in that while you watch, you are witnessing the dad coming undone. The fact that he's a judge makes it that much more of a tragedy. The story is tragic and hard to watch. I'd give it 3.5 out of 5. The acting was good, the production values well done, too.
"YOUR HONOR" 9 hours, 33 minutes 10 episodes 2020'2021 (I would rate it R)
