YOUR HONOR EDGE-OF-YOUR-SEAT THRILLER How far will a father go to protect his son?
The ‘distressing’ content warning at the start of the first episode of this gripping drama refers to the very graphic scene in which a young man dies after a road accident. But you might also find yourself becoming distressed by every appearance of the spectacularly irritating Adam Desiato (Hunter Doohan, above), the privileged, selfish teen who caused the accident and then fled. When his father, Michael (Bryan Cranston), a judge, realises that Adam’s victim is the son of a vicious organised-crime boss, he sets about trying to cover up the mess. It does not go well.
