Review of Trial by Fury

I waited to binge-watch the last two episodes so that i don't get easily disappointed with a poor finale. where do i start? the strong point of this show is cinematography. it has a very classic and higher class point of view of the things, shown in every risky shot they make. i like to believe this episode was the beginning of the show and not the last four, that now i realize weren't really necessary. the acting is strong and wild. nicole kidman is still the lowest point for me, unfairly. this role doesn't live up to her incredible acting range and i still believe they didn't look at the great opportunity of having her portraying Elena and Elena's actress portraying Grace. anyway, hugh grant has really given us an emmy-deserving performance of a very doubtful character. also the kid, noah jupe is a great newcomer and i believe he is going to appear way more on tv from this show on. the lawyer was extremely good this episode as well. i expected more from lily rabe and sutherland but apparently, the writing is really off the leak of these actors. i almost forgot, HOW DARE YOU WASTING SUCH AN AMAZING ACTOR LIKE EDGAR RAMIREZ FOR SEVEN LINES ON EACH EPISODE? talking bout the writers, i am disappointed i must say. david e kelley is one of the most wonderful tv writers i have ever seen and yet this show was not the case. i understand this is an adaptation from a novel book but it never stops feeling like it. i feel more like i'm reading a very exciting book rather than an adapted tv show. and even though the production design and the cinematography are STUNNING, doesn't change the appearance of a novel book, just filmed. i expected the court scenes to be like big little lies with witty dialogue and strong performances, taking the main characters to their wits end. yet i find a prosecutor saying the words "and hitting her" over six times as an introduction to the jury. i am quite disappointed, i must say. but not enough to label it as a bad show. its a great miniseries, just not a david e kelley's miniseries, nor is it nicole kidman's best work.
