This was one of those series that I just couldn’t put down. The suspense was intense, and the story was compelling. It’s a cat-and-mouse game with a sharp look at politics and corruption, where secrets and lies are in abundance. It shows how the law tends to work in favor of the rich, how justice is applied differently to different people, and how those who try to uncover the truth end up in serious danger.
I can sum it up in one sentence: the struggles of a judge as he faces the more sordid side of life.

It has a wonderful cast and a steady pace that slows down toward the end. The music? Let’s just say it exists. It does its job… quietly. Maybe too quietly.

And when I finished the last episode, I finally realized — maybe I had wasted my time. I was thoroughly entertained while watching it, but when it was over, I was left with nothing but the memory of that entertainment. Sometimes I just want to be entertained, I guess.

Yep, this is a good show, but it lacks anything truly substantial. A little bit of Again My Life, a little bit of Reborn Rich, and maybe a little bit of Judge vs. Judge. Something like that. If that’s what you’re looking for, then The Judge Returns is your series.
