Your Honor (TV Series) Part Thirteen (2023) User Reviews

Still going strong

[dakjets · 8/10 · 28 January 2023]

Where does this series go after season 1? Was there a need and a desire for a continuation? I am unsure.

Unlike season 1, which was about a specific event, and the following, this one is different. As it stands now (after 3 episodes) this is a continuation of the story and about the main characters we met in season 1. Therefore, for season 2 to be interesting to us, this depends on us loving these characters and their intricate lives after the first season .

Season 1 for me was final. So what can they now offer? Well, a good script, and the efforts of talented actors such as Bryan Cranston, Hope Davis and Michael Stuhlbarg ensure that this cannot go wrong. Neither does it. Instead of a linear narrative as in the first season, here it is open to different approaches and events. I'm going to condense to see. Whatever its faults, Your Honor is far above many of its competing series.

Part 13

I was worried about the prospects of this show after a pretty uneventful first two episodes, but it got back on track here in episode three of the second season.

Yes, the runtime rans far too long. I do not know why they need to have episodes almost an hour long, premium cable can do whatever it wants, but such is life. But there was a lot of excitement here, the scenes didn't drag, and we had physical and verbal tension. All of the elements you want from your crime and mob drama.

The only moment I was not particularly crazy about was the two grandfathers staring over the baby in the room together.

A stunningly good episode of a top tier series

The plot thickens as the Judge - who is forced to be an unwilling pawn in the Law Enforcement plan to take down the mob, and who just discovered that him being a Grandfather links him to one criminal clan - finds himself in a dangerous situation: his old friendship with the Mayor with whom he shares a secret that LEOs are using as leverage will be tested as his new familial obligations enter the picture. At the same time, two opposing criminal clans - whose heads both have issue with out-of-control and potentially dangerous underlings/slash/family members - are trying to diversify their money-making operations each in their own peculiar way, suffering setbacks. All this is set in atmospheric surroundings and the excellent acting & directing make it truly top notch. Of course there is no need to mention that Bryan Cranston is absolutely wonderful. 10/10.

Cliche after cliche

[mofateam-21539 · 2/10 · 13 February 2023]

After season 1 which was mostly well written, the characters were credible and - with some weak subplots - the build-up and tension was solid, in season 2 there seems to be no genuine idea how to continue with a story which is been told in its entirety.

The more the story proceeds in season 2 the more this show appears to be a cheap mishmash of absurd decisions, cheasy character "development" and cliche-laden plot constructions. There is so much blabla and filling stuff you can easily skip half of each episode without missing anything important. The acting now is ridiculous at its best, and I am really sorry for Bryan Cranston having to play such a shallow crap.

So if season 1 had maybe a bit of "the wire meets the night of" season 2 is more "denver clan"-style.

Hilarious!!!

The entire premise of this show is so out of whack, that it's hard not to laugh. The scenarios they put these characters in are so preposterous. Brian Cranston does his best to act through this poorly conceived plot.

Having the judge drinking at the mobsters hotel bar is ludicrous and so incredibly insulting to the audience. The ridiculous conversation that they both had about the events that led up to the incident at the end of last season, is incredibly stupid.

How anyone could think this show is above 5 stars is unreal. Put a lid on this kitchen fire of a disaster as soon as possible and never let them create another season of this trite mess!
