The opening sequence, capturing the tense moments before and after the fatal accident, sets a gritty tone — visually, its New Orleans is one of industrial landscapes and cracked asphalt — while leaving a trail of bread crumbs, blood spatter and fingerprints for a potboiler that is less whodunit than will-he-get-away-with-it.Your Honor Season 1 Download.As Desiato goes down the crooked path, he finds that his training in the law has prepared him well to betray his profession. Like Walter White (I know the comparison is tiresome, but it’s unignorable), he discovers an aptitude that leads you to wonder whether the criminal was always in him, looking for an escape.Your Honor Season 1-2 Download.
He knows how to prepare his son for questioning, how to hide evidence and sow doubt, how to take advantage of his connections, including Nancy Costello (Amy Landecker), an investigator, and Charlie Figaro (Isiah Whitlock Jr.), a political ally. Still, he’s barely one step ahead of the law, with Baxter funding his own extralegal investigation.
Cranston can play this sort of character in his sleep. He does not do it in his sleep here, and his all-in devotion is one of the things that keeps “Your Honor” watchable. He’s attuned to every micro-flash of emotion in Desiato — grief, anger, panic, determination — and lets us see every mental adjustment he makes to knit his story together faster than it can unravel.The thriller, adapted by Peter Moffat from the Israeli series “Kvodo,” is good at ratcheting up the pressure but not at investing the viewer beyond the plot machinations. The characters feel like stock illustrations in a moral-philosophy seminar hypothetical. Desiato needs to be conflicted, so he’s a righteous, crusading judge. Adam needs to be sympathetic, so he has a bad case of asthma, a nervous sensibility and a family trauma (his mother, Desiato’s wife, died suddenly).
