Majo Saiban is... okay, IMO. It's trying very hard to be Liar Game, but I think it could grow into its own, if only the legal aspects would stop being so fucking horrifying -- I don't know if Japan's real jury system is going to be like that or if the drama's taking artistic license, but the jurors are allowed to walk around and interact freely and call their relatives and REPORTER GIRLFRIENDS (during an ongoing trial!!!), and the whole thing is just so casual and glib and I'm tearing at my hair like D: D: D: DISMISS THEM ALL! START OVER! THIS JURY IS COMPROMISED. DO NOT PUT ANYONE'S FUTURE IN THEIR HANDS!
