News
Although ‘Your Honor’ was written as “a one-off” thing, creator Peter Moffat told Assignment X that he has imagined the future of the show. “Let’s hope people like it, and if they like it enough, then I guess there’s a conversation to be had.”
When he was asked about how Hope Davis accidentally uttered “this season” as opposed to next season during an interview, Moffat quipped, “Hope obviously knows much more than me. [laughs] That’s kind of great. It’s written as a limited series, as a one-off. It finishes. There’s a beginning, a middle, and an end at the end of Episode 10. But I would be being dishonest if I were to say to you that, as a writer, I don’t think about some of the things that might go in Episode 11. Of course, I do, albeit idly at the moment.”
Plot
A dark 10-episodic legal thriller, ‘Your Honor’ centers around the life of a New Orleans judge who is forced to confront his own deepest convictions when his son is involved in a hit-and-run that involves an organized crime family.
As a storm of vengeance, lies and deceit threatens to engulf the entire city, Michael Desiato faces a series of increasingly impossible choices and discovers just how far an honest man will go to save his son’s life. Dangerous crime lord Jimmy Baxter and his wife Gina Baxter’s birthday gift puts their son Rocco on a collision course with tragedy. Desiato will have to test the bonds with his oldest friend Charlie and put a strain on Adam’s secret relationship with girlfriend Frannie.
