Die Zwölf Geschworenen

I found this series fascinating. The story is delivered in different time frames, so we follow the case in court while some flashbacks drop hints or revelations about what really happened.

There is thrill and suspense until the very end, and the last episode is really nerve wrecking and emotionally painful. I will not include spoilers here, but the ending leaves much room for reflection about guilt, justice, truth and retribution.

Every single performance here is outstanding, and the storytelling proceeds at a superb pace, with a remarkable balance between what is revealed and what is withheld.

The story goes beyond the case and extends to the transformative effects of the procedure in the lives of the jurors and their families, as well as the impact their private experiences have in the way they finally will vote for or against absolution.

If a second season of the story comes out with a follow up of the eventsl, I will be the first to watch it! Strongly recommended show for genre lovers!

Yes, the first episode was not that well, but then! As the story keeps unfolding it's little lies we, the audience are growing more and more addicted to the show. For me this is an example of how well script and actors are combined in the best way possible. After watching it, it will ponder your mind for several days for sure.

It's hardly a classic, but the pieces are interwoven smartly, the characters feel genuine (and genuinely broken), and the story-telling moves briskly. Definitely worth a watch.

There's a surprise in almost all 10-episodes. Fantastic script, acting, photography, and pacing. It's not for average action movie fans, but highly recommended.

With a very unsatisfying ending.

I felt like I was ripped off with an ending that left multiple questions unanswered.

It was very interesting to see how a trial is conducted in another country.
