Genre: TV / Thriller
Starring: Bryan Cranston, Hunter Doohan, Hope Davis
After finding out that the young man his teenage son accidently killed
in a hit-and-run is the son of local mafia boss Jimmy Baxter, New Orleans judge
Michael Desiato goes into overdrive to cover the crime and protect his son from
the law and, more precisely, from the street justice of the Baxter family.
As usual, Bryan Cranston is solid here. He does the best he can with the material he was given. The main problem with this limited series, inspired by an Israeli TV show, is that it offers a convoluted story that stops making sense after a while. You identify with the father’s desire to protect his son, but the twists and turns weave a very confusing web. Had it not been such a short series, I probably would have given up on it long before the over-the-top Shakespearean ending.
