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.

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 Italian noir is crafted with the utmost finesse. Set against the palatial Renaissance backdrop of Mantova-a city still relatively untouched by tourists-Il Processo takes us on a ride through the Italian judiciary system without bogging us down in bureaucracy, detail and Amanda Knox.

A refreshing change from Neopolitan, mafia-led dramas, and all the cringe set in Venice and Rome, Il Processo breathes a breath of fresh air into Italy's TV exports. It steers clear of the path to pretentiousness (from which many of its contemporaries never return), instead prioritising character development and a slow-burning sense of unease over a quick, intense thrill, maintaining intrigue until the end.

Elena, the enigmatic main character-our new best friend and elusive partner in crime-solving-is expertly cast. True to her surname, the prosecutor wages a war against an increasingly desperate defendant and, in the process, lets us question her own motives. The director never leads us down the garden path, instead giving us objectivity with which we come to our own, likely erroneous, conclusions.

Saying bye to Vittoria Puccini's Elena in the sunset-based finale (a solitary dose of corniness to sign off an exceptional series) is genuinely quite sad.

Despite some flaws I enjoyed watching the series and am looking forward to season 2. Strong performances by the lead actors, a compelling story. A couple of characters were needless, a few scenes were too naive/stupid for overall a good crime investigation story.

This was my first Italian show. I love murder mysteries. And if its a Foreign show, I'll binge watch it, no matter what, unless its really bad. This is not your average whodunit. A 17 year Old Girl is murdered, Lady Prosecutor and the defense lawyer start off in all righteousness, but the defense start breaking the rules. This is a beautifully done show. Its pacy, characters are extremely likable and the dialog is not difficult to grab. Some of the legal procedural work can be questioned and that is the only flaw. The court proceedings give a deep insight into how Italian law functions. And I dont get the low ratings, I guess its again the lazy folks who are just too dumb to read the subtitles. Its right up there with The Killing, Trapped, etc. This is a masterpiece, go watch it.. Theres enough substance to make you fall in love with the show.

I absolutely enjoyed this show. It was very well done and the plot was immaculate. As The House of Paper, Il Processo (the trial) didn't have good reviews or rating in their country of origin, I don't understand why. Hopefully Netflix will but the rights and continue with more seasons.

I really enjoyed this Italian show. good acting, very suspenseful and you really have to keep guessing who the killer is until the very last episode. I hope Netflix picks it up and there is a season 2.

It can be interesting plot, but the story is not interesting enough for 8 episodes.

Yes, I loved it and I cannot wait for season 2! Lately, I have not watched many movies or TV series but this one captivated me from minute 1. It's so interesting to see how the characters evolve, how the story of the murder comes together and by chapter 8 I was blown away. I was freaking out over that ending and I sure hope there's a season 2 to answer all these questions I have (which will not be shown here since I want to keep this spoiler-less).

Really good but longer than necessary, i liked it though, a better editing would've done

I watched this series based on the high rating and good reviews. I don't agree with the high rating on 2 bases: (1) this series should have been 4 episodes but the producers really drew it out to 8 episodes for some unknown reason. Show could have been much tighter, and by consequence, more captivating. It was long & slow. Finally became interesting by mid episode 6.

(2) The trial scenes were ridiculous. I am admittedly not familiar with Italian legal proceedings. But I am confident that, as counsel, you don't get to heckle your opponent's witness or your opponent, make random speeches & editorial comments.

Bottom-line: Long, drawn out drama, light on the mystery element, and heavy on unrealistic courtroom theatrics. It's a "no thanks" from me. 6/10.

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

It's a court drama that is a breath of fresh air from numerous US legal shows. It's different in that it's set in Italy so entirely different trial and how everything is conducted. It focuses mostly on the prosecutor, as opposed to usual focus on the defense.

In other ways it uses several well established plots. There is more to the case than it meets the eye. Both prosecutor and defense lawyer have their own secrets. There are powerful forces and people in play that have their own agenda. There is personal drama. There are surprises and shocking discoveries.

It's an overall watchable show with several twists in the end, which are, however, pretty predictable and show actually heavily hints at during its run.

This is an Italian drama series that is amazing. It is about a 17-year-old escort girl named Angelica being murdered and raises eyebrows of how she was killed. As the case gets deeper they realize they are digging deeper into something bigger than they thought. The prosecutor Elena, finds herself going deep into this case and will not leave it until she finds out who murdered Angelica. The lawyer of the defendant Ruggero is just as eager to prove his client is innocent and goes head on with elena, giving everything he has to prove it. It is very entertaining to see the thought process of both Elena and Rugerro, two very intelligent people who are good at what they do. The series is very intriguing and keeps you on edge wanting to see more. You see how everyone bends the rules for this case and what they give up for it. The series has multiple plot twists that give the audience hunger for more.

I love foreign crime dramas. This was a little low brow but still good to binge on. The first episode was a bit off putting but the actual trial itself starts from ep 2 onwards, so stick with it. The main character is a bit dislikeable. I didn't care for her harsh personality. But the defendant's lawyer was more likeable. But eps 2 to 8 were good. What annoyed me a LOT was the fact that this woman was put on trial with NO evidence what. So. Ever. Against her. I mean, she *could* have murdered her - in other words, she can't prove she *didn't* do it. So we'll just stick her on trial for Murder anyway and hey see how it plays out. It was absurd. And the judges seem to judge her guilt/non-guilt by how slick each lawyer is and how much momentum they create. How well they do their job. Not on the *actual evidence* presented to them. Of which there was none.

Whether she was guilty or not there was not one scrap of evidence against her the entire trial. What the judge said to the prosecutor after the verdict was absurd and scary should it ever be real.

This is a brilliantly done crime / legal drama. You can really invest in the characters and story it just sucks you into their world. Amazing cannot wait for the next season !

It was a good entertainment with good story and acting. But I didn't understand the ending. Was there justice or not? Does the killer get punished or not?

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.

It was good, we really enjoyed it. I'd have given it a much better score but the voice was horrendous and that took a lot away from the show
