Your Honor

Good story, if not a little far fetched, great acting by Bryan Cranston, I loved the New Orleans setting. The pacing was good too, never seemed to drag too much. Some of the story I didn't agree with, I thought the police corruption was too blatant and not believable, the crime family wasn't very convincing and the kid when he danced was weird lol. Overall a decent show though.

A sign of a good show is when you want to keep playing the next episode and you sneak bits in on the phone whoever the opportunity arises. All the people complaining about son don't get it. Is he an annoying dweeb? Absolutely. But that's the intention - it requires Cranston in his role to have to take on all the thinking and all the doing, to keep them both safe. If the son was a well put together, articulate, athletic, affable character, it wouldn't have near the same impact. It adds to the desperation and frustration of Cranston trying with all his will to stay one step ahead of the bad guys.

This show is single-handedly ruined by the main kid, Cranston's "son". Literally making one horrible decision after another. Trying my best not to blame the actor for terrible writing, but even his acting is lacking. I know that's harsh, but...damn. Really let down 5 episodes into the first Season. Will update rating higher if anything happens to change my mind...but the show is no greater than a 5 right now. And that's being relatively generous.

I just finished season two and let me tell you, this drama series has everything you want in a crime show!! Season one was very good, but I have to admit, the finale of season one had me a little frustrated. I didn't understand why they chose THAT ending. I had no idea where they would take this show, but man, having just finished season two they executed everything perfectly. The storyline is great! Everything comes full circle. The cast does an amazing job. Big Mo is one of my favorite characters in any TV series. Crime, suspense, plot twists...highly recommend! It's a high quality, well thought out show which is something that's becoming harder and harder to come by these days. Can't wait for Season 3!

So, I was dubious about this series after reading the negative reviews and after the first two instalments, I thought there was some truth...however, this series is not about a brilliant story, it's about the morals you think you have and after some bad luck, the morals you really have. I thought it was excellent, forget the cheesy coincidences and think about the choices one makes. As for some reviews citing an annoying kid...really? Clearly not parents! Karl Grimes he is not!
