Il Processo

I started watching The Trial (Il Processo) out of curiosity because I was born in Mantova, the city where the story takes place. 30 minutes into the first episode I actually started buying into the story and I binge-watched the remaining episodes in just two days. The plot is well written. There seem to be a few pitfalls here and there, a couple of episodes in the second half could have been avoided altogether, but I never lost interest in the story. I must give particular credit to either the montage or the director for a specific reason: there are moment in a few episodes where the camera lingers on some details that "give away" a clue to what is about to come. While some people may think that they worked out everything and they "saw it coming", I believe that the technique is used intentionally to give the viewer the feeling to be actively taking part in solving the case.

A very good watch. I don't know if there will be a second season, I doubt so, but if they'll make it I'll be happy to watch it.

Ignore the bad reviews. I'm fairly certain those are from viewers who watched the dubbed version. Wonderful storytelling.

I really enjoyed this one and I ended up seeing it in one day. I regretted that since I was like a zombie next day. The plot is interesting, the characters too. I thought it was well written, dialogues were real and it builds up suspense.

A change from the usual US courtroom dramas. Interesting to see the Italian justice system in play. Not a binge watch type but must admit that watched the last 3 episodes and did not feel the time as the ending is very good and the whole story is tied up quite neatly.

Good and very enjoyable watch.

This reminded me of the killing the first season which I loved. A must watch
