After the Verdict

The story about some jury members doubting their not guilty verdict and coming to suspect the now-freed accused is interesting and almost reminds me of the film noir genre. The problem is two of the lead actors seem more like comics that can't break out of that character. Michelle Lim Davidson (Clara) acts almost like a teenager instead of a 30-something mother, regularly asking the other characters "is this ok to do?" Or, "shouldn't I feel this way?" At one point, she does a little jig in front of her Ex's shop, giving it the finger multiple times and the 'Bronx cheer," while saying she wish it would burn down (it does later that night). Really childish stuff. The young guy of the group, Lincoln Younes (Ollie) acts like a 19 year old college kid who thinks he understands everything, while bring vitally incapable at about everything. Even running a blender with no top on and spilling a shake everywhere. And the director thinks this is funny? Honestly, those two are just painful to watch. I think both need a year at RADA or the Actors Studio to learn how to act more seriously, and leave the adolescent behavior behind.

After The Verdict is a quirky and fun Australian mystery. The investigation begins after the verdict is read. Like the British, the actor's portray their roles with amazing debt and to perfection. They are very believable. I love the protagonist played by Michelle Lim Davidson and all of the actors playing the jurors. Lincoln Younes has great one liner's. Each juror is unique. The characters are all so much fun and knee deep in the mystery of the death of a woman. From the victim's husband to the jurors, the police and the woman who was acquitted of the murder, the personalities are so much fun. I have totally enjoyed it. This is a light mystery that you watch when you want cozy and fun. I would love for it to continue with the same character's. They would be great detectives after a verdict is announced. Don't listen to anyone who gives it a bad rating. Watch past the first episode and judge for yourself. Lots to see each episode.

Not too many crime shows manage to successfully combine a gripping plot with humour - but 'After the Verdict' definitely delivers both. I'm totally addicted and can't wait to crack this one!

I really, really liked this. It was fun to watch, I cannot wait for next season.

I don't understand people who say that the characters aren't real. You either live in your private little bubble or you re too young.

Anyway it' s not a life changing show, but if you re looking for something to watch and have a good time, I really recommend this.

It is not scary, there are no violent scenes, no cursing, sometimes the lines are a bit awkward, but so is life and so are real people.

I think it's the first Australian show that I actually enjoyed Why do the reviews have to be so long? I am not a tv critic.

After the Verdict's first miniseries is so great. Binged it in a couple of nights, and it's well paced, has great characterisation, and a real mystery that threads through well. I'm in my mid 30s and found lots of elements of the show (relationships, children, older parents, etc) both relatable and moving. Lots of fun for its Sydney humour, settings and observations, including just how painful the real estate market is. Clara is a great lead character who is relatable and the casting across the series is spot on. I'd love another series (don't know if that's possible though...) and more like this in Australian TV!
