Long, slow, courtroom drama
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.
