Critics Consensus

Bryan Cranston is powerful as yet another father with nothing to lose, but Your Honor too closely resembles other, better shows about good men doing bad things to warrant its relentlessly grim proceedings.

From a fabulous start, this feels as though it could go a similar way.

There are many dramas out there that are grim, but they usually have some sort of pay-off or have an addictive quality that keeps you glued. This drama didn't have that.

3/5

Cranston is always watchable and brought some of Walter White's scorched earth intensity as Desiato's world started to crumble. But after one episode the jury is still out.

Bryan Cranston’s masterclass doesn’t quite paper over the cracks.

It just feels false and, as it puts its characters mechanistically through the mill, excruciating to watch. Also, to add insult to injury, it is drenched in the sanctimoniousness and worthiness so common these days on TV.

Same old, same old.. it’s becoming every programme white men are bad, white police are corrupt, black people are good, or being set up.. women are strong, men are weak unless their a minority… 🤭🤭 It’s getting soooo boring.. every programme you watch now same old garbage.. same old story line.. Shame cause I think the story would of been good if it was not so predictable..

The strapline for this could be: Your Honour: A man collapses on a meth lab floor, apparently dead, but wakes up as a Federal Judge. Everything has changed, except him...

Your Honor is far from perfect, but obviously underrated by the average RT critics and audience. However lack of realism, it's compelling and highly entertaining, with good acting performances, and somehow Bryan Cranston still manages to truly become a character.

Entertaining, but took itself too seriously. Should have been a mini-series and focused more on the unique role of the characters and not veer into well trod territory. Still, overall a good tale of self sacrifice and selfish martyrdom.
