Not sure how I feel about this one. The first episode of The Judge From Hell came across as an excuse for violent misandry, by erecting straw man arguments, about domestic abuse.

Suffice to say, violence begetting violence, simply reinforces the thing is claims to abhor. Worse still, it sets society on a path to barbarism and ends up benefiting no one. This is why we have laws and penalties for those who mistreat their partners.

Alright, self righteous complaining aside, whats the series like in general? Having watched two episodes, I though it was moderately watchable but still believe something is lacking.

The core premise of this series is the tale of a judge who is, in fact, a reincarnated demon who has to judge (in her own hellishly violent way and condemn to hell) murderous wrongdoers. That said, where's the substance to this series, beyond this very basic premise? I'm not seeing it. I suspect too, the jarring transition from humour to actually pretty nasty violence, is there to compensate for this series lack of true substance. In short, I don't think it really works. This is no black comedy, its a violent revenge fantasy/action series and little more.

Upside's include decent acting but over the top characterisations and a tone that feels off, tend to hamstring, performances.

In summary, a disappointingly shallow script that wants to be a black comedy but looks more like a violent revenge fantasy/action series, instead. In most respects a very basic watch, with a old school, "eye for an eye" biblical message.
