i liked the character arc but I hated that they introduced the murderer in like episode 6. That was fricking annoying.

As a prosecutor I got so frustrated watching the so-called hearings and trial

My wife eventually told me to shut up because I kept saying "that's bull shite, the prosecutor can't do that" or "yes that's a mistrial. That's a mistrial. That's a mistrial"

I'm fun to watch courtroom movies with


My cousin Vinny is actually a really accurate courtroom movie if not the most accurate

It definitely peaked in the first hour.

I thought it was pretty underwhelming. First episode was cool, but it started losing me soon after that.

Thing I disliked the most: How quickly Naz turned into Nas.

Thing I liked the most: The portrayal of our justice system as one that assumes guilt rather than innocence...Although I will say that in real life, Naz is fricked and never gets out

I kept thinking the show was using really good imagery and foreshadowing but in the end, it was all bullshite and nothing tied together. FWIW I liked it until the actual trial began.

I didn't think it was terrible. Thought Turturo did a great job and was one of the more genuine characters from recent TV. The first episode was amazing and did a fantastic job of building suspense even though you knew he was going to be booked. It almost felt like the viewer was being detained.

Just finished binge watching this and thought it was ok, just a lot of loopholes and subpar plots. To me it was kind of like a mixture of the tv show The Killing and the film A Prophet.

Turturro was awesome and I probably enjoyed the incarceration aspect the most.
