About
If you want a tight, unsettling legal-and-prison thriller with mounting pressure and moral gray areas, this delivers; Not for you if you need light escapism or dislike bleak intensity—try Silk for a different courtroom tone.
Pros: gripping, tense storytelling; strong performances; realistic legal pressure | Cons: later season feels slow; some characters unlikeable; uneven realism at times
