The Twelve

It's hardly a classic, but the pieces are interwoven smartly, the characters feel genuine (and genuinely broken), and the story-telling moves briskly. Definitely worth a watch.

An 8.5 would be a better rating in my book. Really well produced show. I personally love listening to shows in other languages and I don't see many with Flemish as the main language so this was cool. Also really neat seeing this different type of jury and legal system.

It's a drama for sure with a well drawn out storyline and great acting. Every episode I was changing who I thought might be guilty, it moved in all directions. There were a few dull scenes but for the majority I enjoyed the watch and would recommend it to others.

First I thought what an asinine judicial system for Belgium, people being charged & convicted for crimes by prosecutors using the stupidest reason for guilt. But it happens everyday in the USA; innocent people are convicted and sent to prison. How do we want to be perceived as individuals is asked numerous ways throughout the series. I believe the ending is worth the wait!

I found this series fascinating. The story is delivered in different time frames, so we follow the case in court while some flashbacks drop hints or revelations about what really happened.

There is thrill and suspense until the very end, and the last episode is really nerve wrecking and emotionally painful. I will not include spoilers here, but the ending leaves much room for reflection about guilt, justice, truth and retribution.

Every single performance here is outstanding, and the storytelling proceeds at a superb pace, with a remarkable balance between what is revealed and what is withheld.

The story goes beyond the case and extends to the transformative effects of the procedure in the lives of the jurors and their families, as well as the impact their private experiences have in the way they finally will vote for or against absolution.

If a second season of the story comes out with a follow up of the eventsl, I will be the first to watch it! Strongly recommended show for genre lovers!

Generally speaking,the series was good all the way,except for the last episode which gave us a very confusing ending.
