Gjakuten saiban: Sono "šindžicu", igi ari! - Season 1

FilmBooster reviewer SonGokussj finished watching the first episode, which I did not manage to do. I failed to last more than ten minutes. Everything regarding this show was just wrong for me. I could not see the point of them trying to build some atmosphere when they have already told you who the killer is practically right from the beginning. It worked with Colombo because viewers wondered how the perpetrator would be found out and convicted; however, in this show, it just comes across as a load of crap. The main male protagonist walks into court without any preparation and delivers a defense that is not believable. The graphic portrayal of the courtroom is done with ugly CGI, and I did not like it at all. It seems awfully obvious that the premise for this was a game where the player chooses the dialogue, and unfortunately, that comes across as ridiculously weird. Plus, when the friend the main male protagonist represents is a total dick, you cannot root for him and are just wishing they would convict him. I guess they could have at least let the Judge give him a good flogging for contempt of court. Plus, the whole thing seems way too over-the-top, unnatural, and stupid. Even that dimwitted Judge Barbara on Czech TV seems more likely to portray a real judge than this accurately. Dropped halfway through the first episode. (09.04.2016)
