The initial episodes held promise, but things went downhill with the first student’s trial. The show struggled to present information clearly, instead opting for long, drawn-out explanations that felt dull. I didn't find the cases particularly engaging. A predictable structure emerged after the second one: moving through the students while gradually revealing more about the central mystery. It seemed they forced connections between everything and everyone involved in the main plot, which led to an unnecessarily tangled situation—apparently trying to build something impressive but just making things convoluted. This created numerous instances where events felt contrived because the writers couldn't figure out how else to move forward. The students’ individual backgrounds were uninspired and relied on tired tropes. There were simply too many flaws in the writing to ignore. While the actors weren’t terrible, there was a noticeable amount of overacting; exaggerated facial expressions, gestures, dialogue, and some odd, affected mannerisms. You might assume the professor would be central, but he quickly shifted into a supporting role, going through stretches with almost no lines at all. The director clearly worked very hard to salvage this flawed production. Replacing him would have been disastrous—he’s the only reason it was remotely watchable.
