Pandora

I was really liking this but started getting frustrated about plots and characters that were simply dropped. One of the attackers that Judge Delval was pursuing had been released because of a conspiracy of silence. When she found evidence to convict, the whole thing was dropped, we didn't see an arrest or a trial. I actually wonder if the programmes were an hour long and had been chopped down to forty five minutes to fit schedules. There were several occasions when the action cut to a different scene but the previous characters were clearly going to say something to each other.

I didn't believe in Sasha's sudden employment in the media industry or later in politics either. Her part in the negotiations with the KSA was pretty ridiculous - as a newbie, she would never have had the connections to put the arrogant prince in his place.

Of the ten épisodes, number eight dragged and added little to the plot. The final two were not really believable. The actions didn't fit the personality of the judge and I found her obsession wearying. Neither did I think her statement in the corruption trial was credible. She was, after all, the judge who'd got the defendants summonsed.

I enjoyed this, but there were such serious flaws that I can't give more than six stars.
