The Trial

"The Trail" is a web series that draws inspiration from the Good wife but has nuances of popular legal dramas like "Boston Legal" and "Suits." While it leans more towards being a drama than a strictly legal series, the performances of Kajol and Aly Khan shine brightly. The storyline revolves around a cheating scandal involving a lawyer, blending elements of family drama into the narrative.

On a rating scale, I would give it a 6. The plot centers around the acceptance of cheating in a semi-modern society like India, juxtaposed with deep-rooted traditions-an intriguing irony. Some episodes offer engaging storylines, but it's hard to ignore the strong resemblance to "Suits" and "Boston Legal." Unfortunately, the acting of the junior lawyer is subpar and can be quite annoying.

One notable oddity is how the kids hide the crucial piece of evidence, adding a layer of suspense. While the direction is commendable, the script could have been better structured, and the series could have explored more innovative approaches. Despite its flaws, "The Legal Code" manages to deliver moments of intrigue and keeps viewers entertained throughout. Average one time watch !

The titular Trial is practically non existent and while one would assume this is a legal thriller, one would be sorely mistaken. The struggle that they desperately try to showcase is non existent, almost as if Kajol had given clear instructions that her time on the show should be as comfortable as possible and her struggle resembles that of a Bollywood star kid.

The trial is also poorly captured, depicted and executed and almost seems to be the background artist of the show unlike what the title seems to convey unless maybe there is a personal and social trial also happening but maybe that episode seems missing.

Poor casting, terrible acting and misguided direction seem to be the only consistent parts of the show. It's almost like Ajay Devgn was planning a holiday for his better half with some mild work thrown in, and here she has done enough to challenge the better part of the better half title.

Characters are all over the place. Even stalwarts have been reduced to one dimensional, almost caricaturish representations of what they could have been.

The series is just another court room stories what we have seen before in guilty minds and a season of criminal justice featuring kirti

The series is inspired by a British series called the good wife but here yet the good wife character has to come now the ongoing season is just showcasing a lawyer..this season has just focused on some cases and how the law firm solves it..the series is slow in pace and lagging in 8 long episodes where the main content of a wife as a lawyer fighting for her husband is kept for another season..

The performances are just average and nothing extraordinary with top and renowned actors

It would be good if they would had focused on the wife fighting for her accused husband.

Anwar Says: I was waiting for this series, not disappointed but not happy either. Adapted from GOOD WIFE, the American web series is not simply a courtroom drama but sheds light on impact of media trial, love triangle , family feuds, behaviour of children on father's betrayal, however unable to conclude. Suparn S Verma should have gone deeper into the screenplay and may have been a better outcome.

Kajol is probably the best actress of this era and she as a multifaceted and resilient woman shines both in courtroom scenes ,as well as in emotional family scenes and handling the growing children. Kubra Sait as Sana is such a cool character and is an integral part of the series and so Alyy Khan putting huge mark. Sheeba Chaddha, Kiran Kumar , Gaurav Pandey and Amir Ali have put their best.

Trial touched some very important cases of social importance but not able to bring it to logical end and it was also shocking to see a top law firm has allowed an intern to handle such sensitive cases . Kiran Kumar leaving the firm for absolutely no reason is als unconvincing. Watch it for Kajol only.

I'm uncertain about why this series received a low rating, but personally, I enjoyed it a lot as it kept me thoroughly engaged. Nowadays, we often witness excessive use of abusive language, cuss words, and unnecessary sex scenes in many series. However, this particular series refrained from incorporating such elements, despite having the opportunity to do so. It impressively depicted the struggles of a woman trying to protect her family at any cost, while also avoiding over-dramatization. The series also portrayed the significance of a woman's career. Though at times, I found it slightly drawn-out, I am eagerly anticipating the next seasons.
