The Daily Beast Nick Schager

Dec 7, 2020

Season 1 Review: The show is at its finest when allowing its stellar cast to simmer, stew, and boil over with fury and agony, both alone and in the presence of each other. Read full review

Season 2 Review: It’s grim, slow, and not as exciting as the first season, but Your Honor Season 2 paints an authentic image of grief, corruption, and the fight for power. Read full review

Season 1 Review: With a sterling cast and a fairly propulsive narrative, Your Honor has enough strong elements to keep you watching and engaged, even as nearly every beat feels like something you've watched in a half-dozen previous shows. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Bryan Cranston puts in a typically compelling Bryan Cranston performance. It’s really the only thing saving the show from being clichéd and dull. Read full review

Dec 4, 2020

Season 1 Review: After the first episode, the cynical “Your Honor” becomes a little less painful to watch but also more predictable. ... The arrival of the always-welcome Margo Martindale in episode four immediately improves “Your Honor” but it’s not enough to overturn the initial verdict: “Your Honor” is guilty of being a major downer.

Season 1 Review: Alas, much of what comes after the forceful opening is a disappointment. ... Cranston’s performance doesn’t quite manage to ground all the coverup commotion; he turns up the volume a little too much on Michael’s desperation. Read full review

Season 2 Review: With a little bit less Cranston, a whole lot of confusing storytelling and characters that haven’t gotten any deeper than in Season 1, Your Honor‘s final season feels like an idea that was best left as just that: an idea. Read full review

OK so much of this is unrealistic and that there are so many blenders that these characters make. But honestly I can’t stop watching and I can’t wait for the next episode so that’s something. It’s almost like oh my god what’s gonna happen next.

It pales to the gripping tension that envelopes every episode of this show. Bryan Cranston (who was just nominated for a Golden Globe for this performance) plays a New Orleans judge, who gets in deep while trying to protect his son (Hunter Doohan) after a hit-and-run. In addition to exceptional performances, the taut direction and intricate plotting keep every minute of this show laden with anxiety. The final moments of the final episode deliver one last jolt.

Made it through the first season, which was completely implausible. The kid would've been better off turning himself in. He was so annoying, there was zero emotional weight to the finale. Season two starts off like Stir Crazy with the judge in some rodeo?! Is this a thing? In 2023?! InMade it through the first season, which was completely implausible.

Your Honor weaves a tangled web and gets itself caught. The show has so many subplots that it becomes overly complicated.

Most of the characters are one dimensional and depicted as having no life or motivation outside of the main plot. But kudos to all the black actors for their skills and abilities to being the listless, one dimensional writing to life. Hollywood needs to end the practice of pigeon-holing back actors into roles as thugs and gangsters and give these wonderful actors a chance at bigger and better roles. Suffice to say, the plot of your honor is trying to show the corruption and entanglements among societies elites; judges, police, crime families, politicians, prisons, and prosecutors. The biggest irony is that same plot is glaringly present in Hollywood itself. The TV and movie industry should take a look in the mirror: and end the good ole boys system of promoting and promulgating certain people, stories, ideas. While suppressing and overlooking the vast, untapped, talent available in this country and around the world.… Expand

Got halfway through episode 4 and couldn't watch anymore. Found Bryan Cranston unconvincing, trying to hard to come across as a lot younger than he actually is.

This is what is wrong with society. White person in the justice system protecting their child, while framing a black teen.
