Your Honor, Season 1 Explained & What To Expect in S2 | SHOWTIME

In Season 1 of the hit SHOWTIME drama ‘Your Honor’ we watched the unraveling of Bryan Cranston’s Michael Desiato, a dedicated father and respected judge who would stop at nothing to protect his son, Adam, from the legal repercussions of a fatal hit-and-run. But an unexpected set of consequences emerges when it’s revealed that the boy Adam killed was the son of an infamous New Orleans crime family. In a season full of twists and turns—heavily underlined by secrecy, familial duty and gray ethics—the ripple effect of each character’s misguided quest for revenge boils over in a shocking finale that perfectly sets the stage for Season 2. So what can we expect to come of Michael’s antihero in the new season, and is there any shot at redemption for the story's broken families? Here’s our breakdown of ‘Your Honor’ Season 1, and everything you need to know before watching Season 2.

My favorite part is how absolutely none of the main characters or supporting characters have a New Orleans accent lol

[MrBlackLenses]

I gave this show a shot twice, and both times I fell off around the Ep4-5 mark. I just can’t reconcile how much Adam annoys me with everything else in the show lol, glad to finally have a video about it from a quality channel!

[magzdilluh]

I'm so happy folks like you do this so I don't have to spend some 12 odd hours learning what I can in only 12 minutes, ha ha

Your honor was so good. I can't believe there is no season 3. Can't believe it. Can't even believe the scores on it. It's easily and 80% and above series.

He and Jimmy have even more in common when Fia gives birth to Rocco Adam Baxter 😂

I'm so glad you made a video about Your Honor! This show broke me, I loved it! Things were only getting worse and honestly I couldn't see where it would all end.
The ending was as unfair as it was a relief.
I didn't know there was a second season planned. I could have seen the show end at the end of the first season, but I'm very curious how season 2 is going to pan out.
I don't see Michael becoming the judge he was before everything that happened. Like, i don’t Think it’s physicaly possible. J’ai Perhaps a redemption by another way? Idk but I can't wait

I am not even watching this video or reading comments. Just felt compelled to say that I am on Season 1 Episode 5...and this has hit me so hard. What Cofi and his family have been put through...and because of a lie and the subsequent coverup. I know he was not totally innocent...as he was driving the stolen car...but the episode where they killed him...where he walked out of his cell...made me cry. Sometimes, something hits you hard...and you don't really know exactly why. Just had to share.

Just a few more days! I haven’t been hooked on a show like this, in a very long time !

[dylancrow]

This show is like a dollar store breaking bad. But I can’t stop watching it.

[LeeLe]

I watched the original Israeli Your Honor! and while it was very good, my god does Bryan Cranston do a fantastic job. Maybe I am biased due to BB or I just like the American setting better, but I love this version of the show, so good!!!

A very dark show, season 1 was tough to get through, I'm hoping there's a little bit of light in the seconds season

[FLdancer]

The judges' kid was so annoying.
He played an annoying character in Wednesday too.

[healthyliving]

The whole thing about the black guy having to die for the white kid to get off. I was so sad the way his part ended. You could also see how privileged the white kid was. His father pretty saved him or tried to save him from his sons mistakes. But this happens so much in real life.

[marcellburton]

I’m from New Orleans i love dis show it’s just not New Orleans enough but the plot got it right

[DJMotorMouth]

Such a good show. I watched it a year ago and forgot about it. Season 2 started out great

[ValorDucky]

When I first saw the ending, I thought it was an amazing twist. Thinking that somehow Eugene figured out Adam was the cause of all this, so he was actually there to kill him rather than Carlo. Then it was revealed it was just a fricken mistake and he missed Carlo. Wtf.

[OliTB]

Looking forward to s2, wasnt even aware it was returning

[lilliangraham]

hope that Michael gets his redemption and is able to move on or gets really twisted fights for his live and crime boss Paxton gets his revenge, mike dies (looking forward to seeing how it plays out. )

[Dlo_]

They honestly could’ve condensed this show into 6 episodes. Would’ve made this 10x better this show was too damn slow

[thandontantiso]

I would love a small bit of breaking bad to make it here but that won't happen. I'll give it a watch
