What an awful show. So cringeworthy! The cop sister is a horrible person and police officer. She steals/plants evidence. Everyone covers/lies for her and forgives her transgressions, Even her boss/brother in law takes her side over his wife's. This woman has literally been in their lives a week! She throws DAs sister's life in upheaval and proceeds to turn the daughter against the mother. I feel bad for the DA sister. She finds out that she had a lying/cheating father and spoiler alert....we now find out she has a lying/cheating husband. Barely got thru the 1st episode. Won't continue watching.

I really hate to give this series a negative review, because I have seen Claire Borotra in a few other series and liked her very much. In this series, however, she plays a character - a Judge! - who is massively judgmental - no pun intended.
The situation is that her father had a daughter from an adulterous liaison. He kept this a secret from his family. Nevertheless, he did the honorable thing, supported his mistress and her child, and divided his estate between the two daughters.
When he dies, the Judge finds out about her half-sister, and explodes in quite unreasonable fury, blaming the young woman for her father's adultery. Talk about blaming the victim - or in this case, the innocent result of an affair. She consequently does everything she can to 'get back' at her half-sister.
By the fourth episode, there was no indication that her attitude would soften, or that she might wake up as to how illogically nasty her actions are. I suppose it is an odd kind of tribute to Claire Borotra that she succeeds in making her character so thoroughly dis-likeable. But that is precisely the problem for me, and I stopped watching.
