Is it worth it

Episode one is the hardest hour of the entire ten, and if you can survive it you can survive everything that follows. Kim Hye Soo plays a judge who despises juvenile offenders and then has to sit in a court where every case is a child, and the writing is smart enough never to soften her or let anyone off easy. There is no romance, no comic relief, and no outcome that feels like justice. Ten episodes on Netflix, no filler, no padding, and it leaves a bruise.

A tough judge balances her aversion to minor offenders with firm beliefs on justice and punishment as she tackles complex cases inside a juvenile court.

Hooks early Episode 1, and it is the hardest case in the series. Nothing later is easier to sit through, and the show never lets up.
