I love European crime shows, but this one was a little too slow and boring. I nearly gave up halfway through and now I kind of wish I did. It was very predictable with the few twists that we got, And the rest wasn't really much of a thriller or whodunnit. A lot of the things the characters did made zero sense and I still have a lot of questions about that.

The main character is vulgar, frequently drunk and drives too fast. When she's not too wasted to answer her phone, she's getting serial killers off. Not clear how she's supposedly a great lawyer, because it seems like she should be disbarred. The plot is full of holes as another reviewer mentioned and it doesn't make sense that people would retain her when she is a drunk and nasty and racist toward them. I guess I've just run out of things to watch and I was intrigued because this series is Polish.

I watched series one which was a little slow and not totally inspiring, but I like the characters and thought I would give series 2 ago. I found series to be extremely exciting with plenty of cliffhanging episodes. The story began to make sense and the development of the characters continued. There were lots of interesting twists to the plot and I really enjoyed it.

How dare a female lawyer act like the male lawyers do in most of these kind of series! Give it a chance. Or, remember these comments when you watch the male versions. Please.

I loved the damaged brilliant lawyer role played by Magdalena Cielecka and her dinamic with the male characters.

She's fierce and afraid of nothing and nobody. You have to admire that!

I found some scenes in the crime stories to be too explicit and cruel, but overall it helped built the narrative.

Coming from a former comunist country myself, showing parts of that history with people living in constant fear and corrupt prosecutors and law enforcement stealing from people and destroying lives because was spot on because that's a true story.

I know the story is over and it closed things in a way, but I could have watched a few more seasons for sure.
