A fantastic blend of thriller, bloody action, some romance, and goofy comic relief. I have yet to find this combination of genres that works so well together. This series has the greatest villain - a sadistic psychopath that is intensely entertaining and brutal. Fight scenes are well choreographed, and the romance aspect is small but ultimately very satisfying. Little if any of the story drags - each episode leads into the next on a cliffhanger - usually the brilliance of the main lead is involved in just how they got out of the mess they're in, or it was a pre-orchestrated plan all along. When our "hero" is pushed to the breaking point, he is downright terrifying in his revenge.

I appreciate the morality nuance of the entire series, and the large cast of characters that have their own hidden depths (though their comedy can be a bit broad). Their chemistry is on point, and unexpected deaths (no spoilers) were genuinely shocking ("they really went there, no hesitation!"). I would have liked more nuance in the female villain, as much as we got with the other lawyer and especially the villain's brother.

Absolutely loved it.
