Review of The Trial

The Trial (2023– )
7/10
Kajol is Stellar in The Trial

I really liked the series. Kajol's performance as the trial lawyer, Noyonika, was excellent. Though modeled after the US Good Wife, the stories and court room set ups were quite different. I also liked that, even though pressured from family, including her children, and her husband's colleagues, she did not trust and forgive her husband. As a student of Indian culture, I find this refreshing as the culture promotes family first and in many cases the wife would forgive and forget.

Kajol is excellent at articulation and speaking volumes with her facial expressions and her eyes. While I liked the character of Vishal Chaubey, I found the torch he carried for Noyonika to be quite exaggerated, and this got in the way of the story. The actors in the series were all very good. Kubbra Sait said a lot using facial expressions and her eyes.

Additionally, the young girls ongoing access to the pornographic videos should never have been part of this series. This caused me to lower my rating to a 7.

Given the series 8 finale where Rajeev announces his future plans, I look forward to season 2, if there is one. As of today this has not been confirmed.
