TheEvilTwin

I can't help but agree with other reviews on the individual episodes, this is a downright disastrous series that degrades Peter Jackson's LotR trilogy. Considering that I was incredibly bored just watching the 10 minute recaps on YouTube, I can't even imagine the excruciating boredom a viewer must experience watching hour-long episodes. The characters are tragically flat and boring, perhaps no one in the whole series captivated me; there are so many of them that it jumps from one line to another, and it's all classically uninventive and boring. There’s finally some action after seven hours, but it feels infantile, with visual effects that are far worse than the 20 year-old movies. All in all, a disgusting bluff that must make Tolkien turn in his grave in shame, and I sincerely hope that the two failed seasons will force the creators to stop assembling and further desecrating this saga.

Here I have to fundamentally disagree with the majority that this is the best season, my eyes it is rather the worst – read "still very good, but not up to the previous seasons". In fact, in the previous two seasons, the trial got underway from the first episodes, interspersed with new witnesses, evidence and side cases and lines, but pretty much nothing happens until episode 6 and the trial is actually a very complex story that it needed those five episodes to get going so that we finally get to the courtroom in the sixth episode, which is too late for my taste and habit from the previous series. After that, however, it's a standard good courtroom drama that once again delighted me, but I have a feeling that waiting so long for action is a bit against me. Still above average in the field of courtroom dramas, but a star worse compared to the previous seasons. The cliffhanger at the end is more than decent though.

Classic Netflix washout. The characters are flat and one-dimensional, uninteresting and generic figures, the side characters are also just walking clichés just out to get their deaths, and the story may have an original premise (a paralyzing substance), but at its core it's the same old thing over and over again. It has no drive, no idea, no characters, and in short, nothing to base the film on. It won't offend or excite the casual audience, but genre fans will be bored by its cheesiness and lack of innovation.
