Bryan Cranston s morally questionable judge Michael Desiato is the best reason to watch Your Honor.
YOUR HONOR (Peter Moffat). Episodes 1-6 streaming on Crave, with new episodes every Sunday, 10 pm. Rating:
NNNN
Six episodes into Crave’s 10-episode Your Honor, it remains unclear if the show will fully plumb the ethical and moral depths suggested by that title or whether it will be content just being a gripping melodrama.
Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston has returned to television to produce and star in Showtime’s
Your Honor. From the start, the miniseries was quite melodramatic, but by December 13’s episode “Part Two,” it’s clear the show sees itself as having a role in addressing the treatment of minorities and the poor.
Cranston plays Judge Michael Desiato, whose son Adam (Hunter Doohan) killed a fellow 17-year-old riding a motorcycle in a hit and run. Michael is all ready to do the right thing and have his son turn himself in, until he learns that Adam killed the son of local crime boss Jimmy Baxter (Michael Stuhlbarg). Michael will now go through any and all lengths to save his son.
